CommissiOner WiSht's Objections to
a Pending Measure.

District Commissioner Wight. who has
immediate charge of the police department,
has recommended to his associates that
an adverse report be made to Congress by
them on House bill 1851, providing that
eight hours shall constitute q full legal
days service in that department. and that
each and every person in said department
shall be entitled to full compensation for
such days work. Mr.. Wight bases his
recommendation on the ground that the
present size of the force is entirely made
quate TO allow the eight-hour service in all
the precincts.
The BILL he says. would not, perhaps,
be Objectionable if the force were sufficient
ly large to admit of such an arrangement,
but il would probably require double the
present number of the force to properly
patrol the streets and the county, with only
one-third of them at work each eight
hours. II will be readily seen, therefore,
that it would be most Hnwise measure to
adopt at this time. and the Commission
ers" Mr.. Wight suggests, should earnest
~ request that the bill be not passed.
1t is believed the suggestion made by Mr..
Wight will be approved by his associates.
