Fuller to Finn:

I still think, sir, that the number of dental officers should be kept down, both on account of the excellent dental condition (of the Force) and also as a matter of policy, otherwise the axe will go through something….

Dentures are a different matter—in fact alarming—and we cannot reduce a tremendous waiting list. It was for this reason that I recommended six mechanics with the six officers….

To me here it is a matter of tactics since I have the impression that the Division think we are going well over requirements. It seems to me better to be able to say that we cannot cope with the work than to have them think that we are overstaffed.
