any increase in the police force should be increased
oe IN ne 9 the city, where the
men to protect their property from thieves and burglars
In the Twelfth ward there property to protect,
except few patches of watermelons and few hundred
sour apple trees When he boy he used to steal

thieves

the report his being that the was of such
a size that the number of now appointed are unable
to do thing against the great of bad and dis
orderly characters that infested his ward It well

the Chief of Police saying that all those police
orginatedby him, that he went lobbying
the rights OF the Council who were at the pre-
sent day deprived of almost all control the police
Nortb endeayoing to decrease the taxes of the nhab
tants of the city, he hy hS of action doing

u1eesed against the ne report OF the Police
tain that gentleman in his project to defeat the report
Councilman CLANCY hoped before the vote would be

OF gentlemen at large instead OF being servants of the

but he wished the gentleman Of the Nnths name would
be put down (Laughter)
Mr. PuRDY then said that he would vote against the

considered chicken saler by any m ans The reform
were he sorry to say, afraid to up the
mark and they wanted to increase the taxes OF the city
