Police UnIforns.

The uniforms OF the police are fading
badly and already have an old look
about them. The contractor said that
owing tO the small appropriation for
uniforms that the city would be unable
to procure first class material for the
prios. His prediction has already
shown II to be true. One officer said
that his pantaloons were 90 faded that
he WAS actually ashamed to wear
them.
The coats have faded although NOT
having been worn more than thres OF
four weeks. No blame can bO attached
to the Arm who resolved the contract,
as the cloth fully stood the acld test re-
quired by the committee from Council.
The city should have made larger
appropriation, % the money that was
