OFFICE CRESCENT CRY r. E. Co.,
New Orleans, June 8, 1875.
Col. VIZ. Loan, Superintendent Metropolitan
Police:
Dear Sir-Complaints are frequently made
by our drivers that in emergencies on our
cars they are unable to summon the police to
their aid, unless the latter are in sight, and
they suggest the advantage it would be to
them to be allowed to use a whistle whenever
the presence of an officer may be required.
If not in your opinion an inadmisslble prlvl-
lege, should be glad to have it extended to
the drivers of the Crescent City Railroad cars,
upon whom we shall inculcate great dlscre-
ton in its use. Yours truly,
Hu. KENNEDY, President
Hugh Kennedy, Esq. Presi dent c. c. r. R. Co.:
Dear Sir-Yours of even date requesting
that the privilege of using police whistles for
the purpose, when necessary. OF summoning
police aid, be extended to drivers of your cars,
Is received. In reply, I am directed by Col.
w. F. Loan, Superintendent OF Police, to in
form you that your drivers may use police
whistles to summons our officers in all cases
Of emergency, but beg leave to request that
you instruct your drivers to be very chary in
using the whistle, and only to do so in case Of
absolute necessity. Any person unnecessa-
rily summoning policeman by whistles is
amenable to arrest, and your drivers should
be instructed to govern themselves accord
