The metropolitan police force is not
under the control of any local authority,
but is directed by commissioners who
are responsible to the Home Office of
the general Government. There Is a
strong demand in London for the trans
fer of the police authority to the county
council, and tho subject has provoked
much discussion. 1t is urged that the
concentration of imperial and national
enterests in London is so vastly impor-
tant that tho higher authorities should
maintain control of the police in pro-
lection of all those central concerns
that pertain to tho greatest capital in
the world. Ultimately compromise
will probably be reached. The county
council ought certainly to have some
share in the police administration Of
