RICYCI.E POLICEMEN

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Permit me to call attention to the pressing need of another bicycle police man for Orange street and Wooster street. The present policeman, MT. Lindsley, is very efficient, but he has to patrol Wooster street all the way to the railroad crossing near Steamboat dock, besides taking care of Orange street. Now this beat is plainly too much for one patrolman to deal with. There should be two for this beat Why could not Patrolman Thomas R. Bright, who is an expert rider or some other one equally fitted, be detailed in order that Orange street may not half the time be exposed Yours, Safety.
