District FL9timsrl although be in q measure
could enter into the Governors views, still
could not agree wish him on certain points.
Only after long and minute discussion, and
after gathering views from others living In
the Centre district for years, and who could BIS
expected TO hsvo a veil founded opinion, did
the Committee make the proposals It has. AMI
as regards the 8 men at Kingshill, therei is
after all not such q vide difference betTeen

Exoellenoy would have 4 men at Kingshlll

week or o~ftener the same argument would
hold good against ha7lug them In those places,
as against the S ! these men could 30 under td8
control Of the commander, but under The direct
command Of a non.o0mmlssioned officer, and be
relieved weekly or oftener. The question Of

be very easily arranged, without i|nourrpg
additional expense bs70nd the ordinary outlay.
The honorable Cad Member Tor Fred8rikstaJ
-Faber had touched on the question Of Che
Police at kingshilI, which Is certainly connected
with tho military it is an opinion that has been
urged very strongly for a considerable time, that
the utility ofth8 Police at KtngshiII would bs
considerably mArred by the removal Of the mill.
tary hence 9 memorial was got up last year by
parties interested in the matter, in which they
ask for the withdrawal Of the P0lioestation In

It. Is the generosity prevailing opinion n)w, .1at
the day Of the removal Of the military force, tha
same day s1)lld witness the 3ram7yal Of the
Polisestati0n too. Ills EyoelIGnoy has to-day
explained that it would not be- advisable to
organize a force OF gansdaf ues ii appears 10

such services, for we sec from the small number

we'll paid the expense would be greater than
now and when the parties have served for
some years, in comes o draft for pension and
so in many ways the outlay will be increased.
The Community and Council 60 in heartily for
reductions at the same time he mus, urge that
the more quietly and impercePtibly changes are
effected, the less glarIng do they appear.
The Governor thought it but fair that when a
proposal is made for an alteration, the prop0s8r
should show how it is to be carried out. He
could not understand bow the Committees pro-
posal for the 8men at Klngshill is to be carried
out he would be at q less for horses, and the
saving would ultimately vanish. When the
honorable Speaker of the Committee alluded 70
his, the Governors having from previous discus
sions with the Committee been intimate With
the measure aud plan now proposed, he would
remark, that in a meeting with the Committee,
as fay as be remembers it was proposed that II
or perhaps but S mounted men should be station
ed at Kingshill he had than stated his views
the same as to-day that he could not accept the
Draft with the addition of Il clause to that eftect.
Ia the event Of the matto' being arranged Ii as tue
Committee proposes, Fredcriksfort would be
made very appropriate use Of, but the estab-
lishment and expenses at Kingshill would remain
