PAY OF POLICE.
Second Cut to be Imposed in Britain. LONDON, October 24. The Home Secretary (Sir John Gilvnour) announces that the second reduction in the pay of the police, pro'posed when the economies were introduced last year, must be imposed on November 1. The original plan required a saving of £1,000,000 in the first year and £2,000,000 in the second, of which a proportion was obtained by reorganisations. The present cuts will save £640,000, doubling the former reduction, with a maximum of 10 per cent. In a leading article “ The Times ” sa} r s that the reduction, made at a time promising no alleviation in risk and responsibility, is not a light thing, but it is a more confident test of the qualities that have made the British constabulary generally trusted to a degree unknown elsewhere.
