- Need of Police Station.
An effort is being made to have the mem
hers of the Anaeosua Citizens Association
for iscme time inactive. again get together
ard oaSitate the subject of improvements
which are needed there. and which can oply
be secured by the aid Of Congress. Among
the buildings which it is conceded are badly
wanted is a new police station. The struc-
tUre now in use was condemned as being
unSuited for the purpose fully twenty years
ago. and it has not. it is said. had any sub
Stantial improvement made to it during the
intervening period.
The late Sergeant Kirby, who was great
ly interested In the matter, ascertained by
investigation that as far back as 1873 Con-
gross. made an appropriation of ST. 500 for
the building of such house. The edifice
WAS not built, and it is presumed the
amount of the appropriation was covered
back into the United States treasury.
