The Chief Constable has observed that applications for Forms are received at Head Quarters frequently, notwithstanding that the requisition should contain all the Forms etc likely to be required under ordinary circumstances during the half year, and he wishes it to be understood that he entirely disapproved of such a practice as he considers that with due care theprobable number required may be fairly estimated, and while being desirious that Superintendents and other members of the Force should be in possession of all necessary Forms required for the Constabulary purposes, he points out that only a reasonable number should be applied for and calls on Superintendents to see that no waste is permitted. Superintendents will ynderstand that if at any time any particular Form is required, a special application may be made, but this should seldom be found necessary.

If Constables when patrolling observe any such obstruction it is their duty at once to find the person in charge of the cart and direct him to remove the obstruction:- If he refuses or neglects to do so then he then he wilfully commits a breach of the law and for such should be reported. The practice of Constables watching for a case is objectionable and indeed, by permitting the nuisance or obstruction to exist for any length of time, after the same comes under his observation, the Constable is actuall condoning the Offence for the time being. Imust be remembered that "Prevention" of Crime and Offences is the first duty of a Constable.
