The legal authority for the issuing of Special Memo No. 50 of 1941 is to be found in Section 12 of the Police Force
'rd. No. 37 of 1932.
This is the legal power vested in the Commissioner of Police authorising him regarding the management of the Force. Therefore the said Special Memo also Memos issued before and since are governed by this Ordinance

That our case has had the full consideration of the Salaries Commission is still erroneous and should never have been put before them.
I now request that our petition, less the Salary Scale, be struck from the record of the Salaries Commission.

I have always been taught when stating a case to be straightforward and honest so that no one should be confused. In all my correspondence I have endeavoured to bear out these principles and as I have received a mandate from the Pre-War Officers to conduct this business on their behalf, will do so to the best of my ability.
Should there be any short comings on my part I trust they will not be interpreted as insolence. The subject matter is too serious and involved for me to be frivolous.
In conclusion, Sir, I wish to state that we, the Pre-War Officers, originally had no case to put before the Salaries Commission, our case was elsewhere, or should have been, but since the Salary scheme of ours had been placed before them we were honour bound to appear on that subject only.
Inspector.
30th. July 1947.
