The payment of the allowances to officers

on leave of absence was not contemplated when the scheme was submitted to you, and one of the reasons for withholding in whole or in part the allowance to officers on leave is that such action will induce them to make an affort to let their houses, which they might not make if they received the allow-

-ance.

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Amaz

Governor,&c..
