Patrol Horses
To the Honorable the President and Com
mon Councils:
GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Police
respectfully call your attention to the fact
that one of the horses now in service on the
patrol wagon is ailing and is unfit for the
service required.
We are of the opinion that it would be
economy TO dispose of the horse, as there is
no doubt, with little rest and care, there are
many places he could be worked and good
service got from him, but rest while in OuT
service cannot be given with any economy.
We would therefore ask authority 10 pur-
chase one horse, and dispose of the one now
ia service as you may direct. Respectfully.
Z. c. STARKEY,
Chairman Committee on Police.
Adopted. Yeas-l3. (See resolution }
The President appointed Aid. Starkey,

accordance with the resolution for the pur-
chase of horse for the patrol service.
