absconding, I should like to drew attention to the following points:-

(a)

The Accountant was not a compradore or a shroff, he was the senior member of the non-uropean service, he held a post usually held by an European and as he had 31 years' good service he was presumed to be absolutely trustworthy. This is the only explanation that I can offer for the small amount of security which he was required to find, viz. $1,000, which sum was passed with- out comment by successive boards appointed annually to scrutinize the securities of Govern- ment servants.

(b) The Police Accounts as the statement shows, are

complicated and deal with large figures. The revenue collected monthly averages $20,000 of which 840 only was lost, e.z. hawker licence collections for the 20th November received too

late to be paid in on that date.

Police salaries average £56,000.00 per mensem Other Charges

Theatre Duties, Special duties, &c.

of this sum roughly $12,000.00 (see Touchers 9 & 10), was lost as it had to be paid in cash.

Officers in Outstations must be paid in cash as

they have no means of cashing cheques. Again if

the general rule that all sums exceeding $20,00

are to be paid by cheque was observed it would be necessary to issue 500 or more cheques in

months when Boot and Clothing Allowances become

payable
