Police Revenue Report 2
Colquhouns plan
a plan of Economy
question was confined to the two already existing
Boards, the Hawkers and Pedlars office
and the Hackney Coach office, it is impossible
for them to hesitate in a case where to the
two masses of business appertaining to these
two Boards it is proposed to add ten or
a dozen or perhaps a still greater number
of masses of business duty each of them upon an
average of at least as extensive as either of the
two: and supposing that were that so far
as the Commissioners with their Cashiers and Secretaries
are concerned the proposed new establishment
might be dispensed with, this can never
be supposed even for a moment with regard to
Clerk any considerable proportion of the Clerks,
still less with regard to such the local agents
which must at any rate be kept distributed over
the face of the country, and that in very
considerable numbers: besides that in the present
instance the mere collection of the mass portion of revenue
in question is neither the only nor so
much as the principal business duty of the proposed
Board: it is indeed in comparison with the other
functions with which it is proposed they should to be charged
it is in fact would be found to be of very inferior account.
