juveniles. When these reforms have been effected and they

should be introduced as early as possible the officer who now has only to look after Victoria Gool will have to be responsible for two or perhaps three institutions and he

ought then to be the head of a separate establishment. It

would be possible to maintain the present arrangement until

the new establishments are ready for use but I think it

would be more satisfactory to make the change now and in-

-cidentally to relieve the Captain Superintendent of Police of a certain amount of work. The present Assistent Superintendent of Victoria Gaol, Mr. J. W. Franks, is a good officer with 20 years' service under. the Home Office and this Government and I would propose to appoint him Superintendent of Prisons with a salary of $6,000 rising by $250 annually to 89,000. He should also as at present, receive free quarters

at the Victoria Guol.

As regards the subordinate European posta

I think that some increase on the Commission's figures is necessary as it is desirable to bring the salaries into line

with those of the Police.

I suggest

In the case of the Indian Gaol Staff I

propose to make the same arrangement in regard to free rations as is proposed for the Indian Police and would fix

the salaries as follows:-

812 - 8480 Assistant Warders.. .£300 $12 - $360
