BITTER NEWS FOR THEM.
DROPPING OF THE THREE PLATOON POLICE
SYSTEM AMENDMENT MAKES SOME
PROMOTERS SUBDIVISIONS
ABOUT THE FUND

The announcement by leaders in the Legislature
that the amendment 10 the charter which provided
for the three platoon police system has been
dropped from serious consideration has been bitter
news for Republican promoters OF police esls-
lation and for some of the police agents who
have been active In raising a large fund 10 secure
the passage OF the amendment. Many Of the police
men of the city anxious 10 know what has
become of the fund already raised by the assess
ment of S15 levied each patrolman and rounds
man of the force The of $4,000 is too large
to be thrown away. If It is found that the police
rnen have been "buncoed' out of all that money
for the benefit of few city politicians who made
promises to get the three platoon amendment be-
FORE the Legislature, there will be much gnashing
Of teeth and will not be easy TO raise another
corruption fund from the bluecoats.
