The POLICE. We have already stated
that the new police regulations are unsatis-
factory to the members Of the force. They
are equally so to our citizens and property
owners, who are interested in the most eff
Gent service possible at night. The re-
lief system, as re understand it, has been
entirely abolished, and officers and men
are required to be on duty for twelve con-
secutive hours, day and night. It is cer-
tainiY too much, to expect men TO be as
efficient under this system as under the
old-when they were relieved every six
hours--especially at night.
In our judgment, the bulk Of the force
should be on duty at night, and the length
of service fixed at six hours. Better pro-
lection would thus be secured to the lives
and property Of our citizens, as the police
men would not become fatigued with long
watching, as now. The force on duty in
the day.t need not be large, compare.
lively, especially since they would have
the aid Of the detective force. We trust
the board will reconsider their late action,
and reinstate the old or similar system,
as promising more satisfaction to al! con-
csrned and more efficient service.
