POLICE AND FIRE SURGEONS.
A Rule Promulgated Defining More
Specifically Their Duties.


Specifically Their Duties.
According to a statement signed jointly
by Richard Sylvester. Major and Super
intendent OF Police, and by Joseph Paris,
Chief Engineer Of the Fire Department,
and forwarded to the Commissioners, the
Police and Fire Departments are embar-
raised from time to time by the question
Of the physical incapacities OF the mem
bers thereof. In some instances they say
there is loss of time with a probable
but no positive reason forthcoming there
Tor. as viewed from a medical standpoint
In view Of these facts the writer's OF
the statement TO the Commissioners are
OF the opinion that the Board Of Police
and Fire Surgeons should possess sever
ally as thorough a knowledge as posi-
bic OF the physical condition and eapaei-
ties OF the members Of the two depart
ments. especially when they are sick or
partially so. To this end Messrs. Sylves-
ter and Paris have recommended TO the
commissioners the approval and promul-
gaticn OF the following order:
The several members of the Board Of
Police and Fire Surgeons will hereafter
give the members of the police force and
or the Fire Department at least the same
medical attention as is given by the
medical profession in private practice II
is expected that the surgeons composing
the board will not only certify as to the
inability of the members of the force or
OF hremen 20 perform service, but they
viii visit them from time TO time dur
ing their illness and certify to their SUI
periors when they are sufficiently we'll to
be able to perform duty.
This construction is placed upon the
several paragraphs Of the Police and Fire
Department Manuals appertaining to the
duties Ct the surgeons"
The recommendation has been approved
by the Commissioners
