YORK THINKS IT WOULDN'T WORK.

Deputy Police Commissioner York said yesterday
that under the new law i; would require three pla
toons instead Of two. at present. The men
would have eight hours patrol and twelve hours
at home. except every third day, when they have
eight hours Of duty. besides the eight hours
of patrol
The eight hour plan, said Mr. York. had been
discussed for years by members Of the force but
Of the higher officials in the Police Depart
mcnt considered II feasible unless there large
increase Of the force. In Mr.. Yorks opinion the
plan would not work satisfactorily unless a large
increase was made in the number Of men.
