The Police Committee.

The Committee on Police met Mt the pri-
vate office of the Chief, and passed big
lot of bills. When this had been done, the
committee took up the resolution relating
to the offer to furnish the city with COM
plete patrol wagon outfit, free of charge.
An offer was read from James Burns,
10 take the wagon and horse, and furnish
two men, one for day duty and one for
night duty, for the sum OF 81 900 per year
The committee discussed the matter, and
appointed a subcommittee of three, to
which the Chief of Police and the Chief Of
the Fire Department were afterwards
added. This committee is to meet next
Monday afternoon to 90 over the whole
subject, ascertain the probable cost and all
details, and make a report to the full com
mittee at it's next meeting.
Chief Delbrugge then addressed the
Committee. He said that heretofore there
had been little attempt in Wheeling to
have the men of the police force appear on
duty in proper way. There had been no
uniformity of dress, such as was to be seen
in other cities He desired to have the
force as efficient in all ways as possible,
and at the same time he wanted the men
to look well. To this latter end be had
ordered regulation police helmets for the
men In addition TO this, they ought to
have new numbers, shields, hat wreaths,
belts and clubs. Other cities furnished
the men Ievolvers and nippers, but here
the men had to buy their own. The Chief
was instructed to send for catalogue Of
police equipments, that proper informa-
ton might he had.
