other goes to his lunch.
While speaking of this matter allow me to
say that an off GER is sadly needed to patrol
from Vaughan's bridge up to head of the hill. I
am obliged frequently to 30 there at different
times of night and have seen much irregularity
that would be remedied by the presence of an
officer. 1t will be remembered that crime has
been done there many times.
l never yet have met an officer beyond State
street at night. 1t is not the fault of the officer
on that beat, for it takes about an hour and a
half to walk rapidly over the boundaries of the
beat. That would be too long beat for
country village. In my professional labors.
which lead me about the city at all hours of the
