Congress having provided an additional

1t is the aim of the Major and Super

captain of police for every 100 members
of the force. which, at the present time,
would call for six captains, of which
number four have been provided.
This would permit two precincts to be
included in a district with about 100 COM

or celebration would provide for such
commands, and effect complete organi-
