oPPosEp BIZ POLICE oFFICIALs HERE.

Commissioner Murphy and other officials of the
Police Department last night expressed much op-
position 10 the proposed charter amendment which
would compel a change in the hours Of duty OF
policemen and establish arbitrary system under
which patrolmen could not be compelled to per-
form more than eight hours Of duty in the twenty
four. They said there were many reasons for
opposing the amendment that II difficult
enumerate them. By shortening the hours OF
duty and placing three thousand men the
force. they say. there will not be patrol duty at
any time many trained policemen as are pa
trolling the streets under the present system.
1t is said by the police officials that, considering
ordinary times, the salary OF a patrolman 81 400 a
year is larger than he deserves 10 get II certainly
is much larger than the average policeman could
in any other position. Most policemen have
such easy life that they grow fat and become
lazy. They may become fatter and more indolent
If they have TO perform only eight hours of patrol
duty day.
Al the present time there are several thousand
waiting to get the police force and the
number of applicants for appointment has been in
creasing each year. Applicants who do not have
often seek for such influence and offer 10 paw for
It. Many Tammany politicians known to make
considerable money every year in this way. With
the massage OF the amendment tighten the al
ready easy duty of patrolmen, the police officials
say the eagerness OF young men TO secure appoint

When the rush for appointments the police
force IS great. il cannot be said that there is
any reason for sympathy with the police.
