Police Commission,

The Police Commission last evening
discussed the plan of mounting more DO.
lice on bicycles this summer The officers
last year did an excellent work in prevent.
ing bicycle scorching and made good time
IN answering emergency calls. These
facts have led the Commission to look
upon the matter favorably and although
1t was almost decided to mount ten more
men the action was not definite. The
mounting of two officers on horse back to
dol duty on the outlying districts was
also discussed, but neither finally agreed
upon. AS the wind interferes with the
Weccacoe Company's bell Superintendent
Aydon recommended that the Commits
sloners have the bell In a box and ,sounder

rectors sent a comlnunicat ion concerning
