Police Suffer From Heat.

The Board Of Police Commits toner's VIII
hold it's regular session this afternoon
when It is hoped that action viii be taken
in regard to allowing the policemen 10
wear comfortable attire when on duty.
The people OF Richmond through haV-
ing their attention drawn 10 the matter
bv the numerous mentions In the papers,
are fairly wrought up in regard 10 what
many citizens probably justly term the
"lnhumanity' that the police are com
pelled to suffer during the torrid spell
Il is a sight too common TO see big
policeman striving 10 look neat under the
stress of tall white collar. while his
shirt bosom, whose immaculate expdnse
has taken on the appearance OF dish
rag. clings in clammy folds TO his par
boiled skin beneath the sweltering dou-
ble-breasted coat.
The sympathes OF the public are be-
coming outspoken for the patrolmen, and
promise TO take decided shape unless the
remedy IS forthcoming from logical
sources
As the matter stands the policemen are
required TO wear stiff shirts and high
collars and to wear vests buttoned up.
The top button Of the coat must also
be buttoned.
