lice station. The police have positive
knowledge that they have succeeded

so increased the extent and variety of the

and in view of this circumstance the com

abolish the office of commissioner and
assistant commissioner and to create in
lieu thereof q board of commissioners
and apportionins the Indian work among
three individuals.
