TWENTY MORE POLICEMEN.
A SCORE OF CHANcEMEN TO BE PUT ON REGU-
LAR DUTY IN JERSEY CITY.

LAR DUTY IN JERSEY CITY.
The patroIling force Of Jersey City will be In
creased to-day by twenty without increasing the
cost to the city. This has been accomplished by
the plan adopted few weeks ago by the Police
Board There were number Of vacancies in the
rank OF patrolmen. who receive $1,000 year. In
stead OF filling them the Police Commissioners de-
cided TO appoint and classify chancemen. Three
classes were established at $50 S65 and $40 month
This effected saving Of from sl3 80 TO s23 80
month in salary for each new man appointed. The
Board limited the first class to ten men, the
second 10 fifteen, and the third Is unlimited. The
force of chancemen was increased to forty, and all
will go on duty to-day, the same as patrolmen
Previously chancemen did duty only when regu-
lar man was absent
II IS contended that the new scheme is also ad-
vantageous because II prevents putting inexperi-
enced men on as patromen The chancemen will
be promoted for efficiency and meritorious conduct
Chanceman Schoppe, a Republican, was advanced
from the third to the second grade few days ago
for arresting two thieves who were breaking into
a store and had a covered wagon in which TO cart
aUav their booty.
