The Informations are laid under the Indian Act. As it is a much more serious offence to supply liquor to an Indian than to a white person it is the desire of the Department that where white persons supply liquor to Indians and are convicted, a penalty not less than that provided for in the "Government Liquor Act" shall be imposed. In any such proceedings a request should be made to the Magistrate for imposition of the higher penalty. VOUCHERS: 4. As a general rule the Department does not allow transportation expenses' on a mileage basis, and only recognises the actual, necessary and reasonable amount paid cut for same. It does, however, allow for officials, etc. using their own cars; this allowance not exceeding in the case of Coroner's, ZOtf per mile, one way. In all cases where personal oars are used, the voucher must, definitely show this information. 5, Vouchers aggregating fairly large amounts are being receivea by the Provincial Secretary's Department on account of meals supplied by members of the Force to destitute transients. The Department recognizes that, this is often a necessity but instructs that casual meals are only to be supplied, after enquiry and when the. officer* is certain that the people concerned are not p o s s e s s e d o m e a n s , 6, In all cases where witnesses have to be advanced money for transportation expenses the amount must be charged up as an advance and not vcuchered for.

Complaints have been received to the effect that punch-boards are being operated throughout the Province and upon coastal steamships. As this is in direct contravention of Section 236 of the Criminal Code all operators of such devices should be warned to discontinue their use immediately, and in the event of non-compliance they should be prosecuted. It might be borne in mind that the operation of . gambling devices in clubs is equally amenable to Section 236 and licensees should be so advised. / ,y) l / • ' //' (/ J.H.McMullin Supt.B.C.Police o o BRITISH COLUMBIA PCLICjS Headqua ters General Crder Ho. 6 6 Victor ia,B.C Feb.25,1928 IjjDIAB ACT: 1. Ac- the 1928 edition of th^ Revised Statutes of Canada became effective on the 1st February, 1928 , it has been noted that the numbering of sections in Chapter 98 thereof (Indians) does not co-incide with the numbering of the sections in the Indian Act, 19C6, in several instances, and as this may lead to confusion in reference (particularly when laying charges) and the possible frustration of convictions the attached list is promulgated for the information of all ranks. Copies of the new Indian Act will be issued from Ottawa at an early date, but in the meantime members of the Force will be guided by the numbering given on the attached statement.
