The AnacOstin Assignment.
The citizens of Anacostsl We're considera-
bly, agitated yesterday when they learned
that Lieutenant Gessfords had been reduced
to the rank of sergeant and assigned to
duty in that section They believed Ser
geant Andersons interests would be ma
teriaily affected thereby,
The assignment makes the newly de-
tailed officer the senior or ranking
geant, and he will do day duty while Sergt,
w. T. Anderson, who has done duty in
AnacSstia for a number of years, viii have
charge of the suhprecinct att night. Major
Sylvester made this change in order to
give the people of Anacostia and the sur
rounding county a better police service.
Sergeant Anderson has been in the habit of
doing about eighteen hours duty out of
every twenty-four, and Major Sylvester be-
lieyed he could not do justice to the people
and the department when kept under such
constant strain. Doing duty in the dav-
time Sergeant GeSSford will not be mount
ed, and his attention viii be devoted chiefly
to the more thickly populated section. On
the other hand Sergeant Anderson will re-
main mounted. and he will be expected to
pay more attention to the outlying districts
AS yet there will be no other changes in
Anacostia, with the exception of the mall
guration of the SiX-hour system Major
sylvester hopes that the new order of
things will benefit the people east of the
branch.
