A European chief of police received twelve hundred.
There were eight head judges, one to each province, and appeal lay from the district judge to the provincial, thence to Mulinuu.

From all salaries (I gather) a small monthly guarantee was withheld.

The army was to cost from three to four thousand, Apia (many whites refusing to pay taxes since the suppression of the municipality) might cost three thousand more: Sir Becker's high feat of arms coming expensive (it will be noticed) even in money.

The whole outlay was estimated at twenty-seven thousand; and the revenue forty thousand: a sum Samoa is well able to pay.
Such were the arrangements and some of the ideas of this strong, ardent, and sanguine man.

Of criticisms upon his conduct, beyond the general consent that he was rather harsh and in too great a hurry, few are articulate.
