Damage To Trees

Minor Cases Ignored

Told of reports that Chinese were openly carrying fresh-cut twigs and

· small branches in the Colony, sp- parently with no action taken against them, the Acting Commissioner of Police, Mr C, G. Perdue, admitted that minor-cases of wood-cutting were not now being prosecuted, when Interviewed on Saturday,

He odded, "Captain' Ellppance, Superintendent of the Botanical and Forestry Department, and I will greatly apprecinte closer co-operation from members of the public in ap- prehending wood-cultèrs.".

Mr Perdue said that while it was true that Police constables were not prosecuting minor cases of free wood thefts, should any member of the pubile see cases which in their opin- ion were serious, it was up to them to report such to the nearest Police station. Should any member of the public sco a Police constable neglect- ing his duty, in not apprehending

wood-cutlers, It would be appreciated If an immediate report was made.

The Police Department have not enough constables to keep a

constant

watch on tree vandals, he said, and co-operation will be welcomed.

Under

the 1041-42 Estimates, Government has approved of another 150 Cantonese Police constables, Permission for enrolling 50 was granted some time ago, and they are now on duty. The other 100 ore at present under instruction at the Police Depot, and will be on duty in two or three months' time.

The Street Guards scheme is well under way and to date slightly over 600 have been enrolled, Mr Perdue
