The Chairman vacated the chair to the Vice
Chairman (Blackwood)
End Member fJr h~ristian9ted (Std5emaRn):
The Committees proposal is basel on the fact
that the Police Guardhouse or Station near the
market was formerly rented for S4S pa. which
item was always entered among the specified
items under No. 5 Of the Mony Bill this
specification is not given this year. In the
Committee it was stated that the rents had
been increased to Sl00, which amount the
Committee supposed was entirely included nm
der this item therefore the COMMITTED pto-
posed rhat s52 be struck ont and the rent
brought to the former amount S48. The Com
mittee was not then aware OF the arrangement
according to which those S52 We're TO be de-
frayed under this item, provided the sum total
be sufficient, but if not, then from the surplus
of the Police fund. He, for his part, could not
change his view in respect to tins item, be-
cause if there is a fund from which the rent OF
the guard house can be betrayed, then there Is
no need for the Council to vote the amount at
all. The Committee does not consider it ne
eessary to make this Police Station more ella
borlte than it was before there has now been
added one or two more rooms; but the Com
mittee considers one room for S48 quite sutfis
cient Moreover. as it is seen that there is a
Fund from which the Policemaster without
the Councils vote can defray the $50, it APP
pears best to let that Fund defray the whole
rent. fit be proper to use the Fund for that
purpose, he would not discuss, as the fund is
entirely under the control of the Government.
The Governor 1t is after all but a small
matter, whether the item is to be reduced with
So or with S48, or whether it is to be struck
out at all. The fact is that the item Various
Minor Expenses under this Department is not
larger this year, than usual; the item is enter
ed according to the average OF 8 years, ard
this year it is a little less than that voted last
year. This guardhouSe is decidedly an nm
provement for the exercise of the police du-
ties. Government has approved of the measure.
In now refusing the g%uardhouse. the Colonial
Council interferes unduly with the Admins
~tration, the Council oversseps its authority.
