 The recommendation of Superintend- ent Wrinn concerning the recognition of Patrolmen Loughlin and Dunlap for the capture of three pickpockets on May 19 at the Union depot caused consid- erable discussion. Special mention was made of the work of the latter, who arrested one of the men because he acted suspiciously. It turned out that the arrest of the fellow led to holding all three of the men, as the money taken on the train from a MT. Judd o1 Walingford was found on the prisoners person. The prisoners, who are knowr as professional crooks, were held tc await the converting of the superior court.
 Commissioner Clancy moved that Patrolman Dunlap be promoted from grade c to B.
 Commissioner Ullman did not think that it should be the policy of the board to recognize by promotion tC higher grades patrolmen because they do what they are hired to do. He die not think it the right policy to pursue He had no special objection to this case, but the line must be drawn some. where and at some time.
 Commissioner Moran, who seconded the motion to promote Patrolman Dun lap, thought that the case was ont which deserved such recognition.
 The vote was passed after being amended so as to include PatrolmaI Loughlin for special conmendation fol the part he took in the arrest of thu | men.
