THE POLICE FORCE.
: MINISTER'S RECENT STATEMENT. Auckland, June 15. The men of the Auckland city police staff are in receipt of the text of the Hon. A. L. Herdman's reply to their requests. It is somewhat more • detailed i than that announced from Wellington by ; telegraph, and intimates that the month- , ly allowance of 8s 4d for footwear, etc., will take effect as from April 1. It also advises that fifteen minutes "snack , time" will be allowed the men on night 1 duty, and that overtime spent at the . police court (for prosecution purposes) may be allowed to accumulate till it reaches eight, hours, when a day off will be allowed. ' Mr. A. Rosser, organiser of the Police Association, has gone south, and it is expected that he will place some matters before the Minister. In view.of the appeal of Constable F. Smyth, of Greymouth, against his dismissal, on the ground that the punishment was disproportionate to the offence, an Auckland instance will probably be cited of a constable who left his post at some three hours before his time, and filled in the book ahead to indicate that he had been at the station when he was not there. In that inI stance the punishment was a fine.
