ABSTRACT
1. The principles underlying the idea of Native Treasuries, which are part of the machinery of a Native Administration, should be thoroughly understood by Administrative Officers and kept steadily in view. We have to train the Native Authorities and the people in this, as in other branches of administration, according to civilised standards, and the process of development, if it is to be on any secure foundations, must be a slow one. A Native Administration must have its Treasury, as well as its executive officers and its courts, for experience teaches that it soon becomes of little account if no funds are placed at its disposal out of which it can pay the salaries of its personnel, build its own Court houses and schools, and make its own roads, etc.
