MASS MEETING OF THE CITIZENS AT THE
BUXTON CAR WORKS.
Police Protection Demanded.

The residents of the Burton car works
and vicinity, having been seriously an
noyed and damaged by the depredations
of thieves and burglars (who have been
exceedingly bold because of the absolute
| lack of police protection) held pubic
| meeting on Tuesday night for the purpose
of obtaining relief needed in this direction.
! 1t was the unanimous expression OF the
meeting that the old board of police COM
missioners had wilfully disregarded the
! needs of this portion of the city, by their
| failure to carry out their repeated prom
| ises to furnish the necessary force for this
| purpose.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
Rus c. Wider, who stated the object OF
| the meeting, and on motion of c. II. Gleb-
| bins Mr.. Vidler was appointed chairman
| and r. c. McCabe secretary.
On motion committee on resolutions
Svas appointed by the chairman, consisting
of Messrs C. L. Morgan. C. II. Glebbins,
V. E. Bryant, o. G. Plymouth, w. T..
Ford, VIM. Tomlinson and Z. Partridge.
This committee presented the following
resolutions which were unanimously
adopted
Whereas. We have been constantly an
noyed by petty thieves, and during the
last twenty-four hours one of our stores
has been forcibly entered, safe broken,
its contents having narrow escape and
Whereas We have lost clothing. lum-
ber, tools and personal effects through
want of proper police protection, and
Whereas, Our property and good names
are constantly in danger, the first from
n1rtS hOn6S ScOnndrplS
second from their being suffered or allowed
to remain in our midst, all for the want OF
proper police protection; therefore be it
Resolved That the honorable board of
police commissioners do grant US imme-
diate protection, and
Resolved, That Wichita cannot allow
the greatest manufacturing part of her
city to continue in its present unprotected
condition, and
Resolved That these resolutions be pre-
sented to the honorable body of police
commissioners without delay, suggesting
that the matter has been presented to the
old board, who have repeatedly promised
action, but have always failed in keeping
this promise, and that the committee, on
behalf our fellow townsmen and ourselves,
demand instant relief.
