Will mako this force similar to those Of France
and Germany, by allowing the en- ployment ~
secret detectives, who will be unknown to the
| public, and who will not have the power to
make arrests, but will be constantly on the look
out for criminals As It Is, criminals know tho
| detectives and are easily able to deceive them,
and almost entirely destroy their usefulue 9.
| II will also permit OF the employment OF
women detectives. It provides for tue re-
tention Of the non-partisln composition Of tho
| Police Board by requiring that when the terms
| Of Office Of any Commissioner shall expire, that
his successor shall be taken from the same polit-
| teal party a. that OF the retiring Commissioner.
