Reducing Police Expenses.

Mayor Trout sent communication
to the chief Of police yesterday stating
that 1t would be necessary TO keep the
police expenses within 5000 per month
for while. This will make it neces-
sary to confine all the work done to
the regular men, without any assistance
whatever by the specials. This even
will not be sufficient reduction in ex-
penses and rather than discharge any of
the members Of the force, it is thought
each member will be suspended for a
few days during each month or the
salaries OF the men will be reduced for
the time being.
