Prosecutions would be carried out in a similar manner as in the past and only in cases of necessity would a lawyer be needed. The R.C.M.P. requires that a guard should be on duty at all times when a prisoner is in the cell. This guard would be a charge of the Municipality. In the case of female prisoners a full time matron would have to be on hand at a cost also to the Corporation,I Room accommodation for all unmarried or single personal engaged in the police force must be supplied by the Corporation at their own expense but the inspepter informed the committee that their usual proceedure is not to have more than 50% married personal at any time on their force. Meeting with R.c.M.r. Continued The contracted number of men on the force would not be replaced with any additional men when'the men are on leave or on sickness unless of an unusual length of period. The annual leave worked out on the basis of 18 working days per year. The local force will at all times work under direct supervision of the Municipal Council with the Chief Magistrate being the instructing party.

The Dominion Government will not be responsible for any damages caused by any riots or insurrection etc. The Municipal Council dxinri#xdesI if it consideredt it to be in the public interest may request the removal of any member of the force by writing to the Officer Commanding, R.C.M.P. E.Division, victoria, B. C., clearly outlining the reason for such removal. The usual pefood of a contract was from one to three years, but the neat contract would only be for one year and the said contract may be terminated at any time by either party with six months written notice. The Attorney -General of the Province of B. C. could if he saw fit to do so take over and conduct a prosecution laid or made under any statutes. The R.C.M.P. force would not accept guard duty on any mental patient unless zzd a warrant of committal has been made. This did not mean one of violent nature picked up on the streets but it referred more to the case of a mental patient in a hospital. The R.C.M.P. considered as a yard basis that they needed one man for every 1000 population, however in determining the said yard stick, they considered the density of population in the area to be covered and the PSG -crime incidence, and in the case of Maple Ridge, the Inspector *as recommending a minimum of five men.` Q� The Inspector advised that the average total mileagelover the past two years or more was 104 miles. Their charge for maintenance was 9¢ per mile. The Council could accept this or provide transportation in lieu of this charge. It was his considered opinion that one car was all that was required for the Maple Ridge detachment. The inspector stated that the foregoing were main basis of the contract and that we could agree as to the payments whether quarterly, half -#early or otherwise, and that the contract would be shortly made out and sent to the Corporation for the signature of the Reeve.
