IMPORTANT MATTHIAS.
viii the police force be increased?
This question is doubted very seriously
now. and the tide of citizens which once
We're cIamoring for protection of homes
from burglars IS gradually turning To
lie more reasonable and logical side OF
The question and thinking OF the improve
1nent OF the streets, The real estate and
The Fire Department. and last but not
least the adding of more room TO the
school building.
Several months ago, when Mr.. Wake
field, the active member of the City Coun-
ell from The First Ward, offered a resolu-
ton in the Council asking for additional.
police the matter was referred 10 the
Finance Committee ana was forgotten by
q number of people, until the recent rob-
berries in the city and the utter inability
of the. present police force TO cope with
The mysterious thieves, when the mat
1zr was very forcibly brought to their
attention and Mayor Maurice asked the
Council to increase the force, stating IN
The communication that, while he had
nothing but praise for the four men now
on the force, their number WAS IN
adequate for the demands made upon
thcmqlcy the citizens.
INCREASING FORCE.
This feeling OF increasing the force ran
high for some time and the police COM
missioners were kept busy answering
questions from people rs TO when the new
men would begin their duties, aQd from
several applicants for the position of po-
licemen.
The School Board at their meeting last
night brought the question up as to ask
ing the Council for more money to carry
on the school and also for the building
OF additional school room. This Ques-
tion was one of much Importance to the
members of the I3oard, and should be TO
time. if more room is not added to the
school, scholars may have TO be turned
away.
Paving the streets is another question,
and it is a settled fact that the City Coun
z ell cannot do all of this out of the $l5,Ocv
which viii be saved Ivy the free lights
given l,y the Richmond Passenger ana
Power Company. j an attempt is made
to answer all the appeals of the citizens
the city VIII find themselves in a deeper
debt than they iaaye been for some time.
The tide from the policemen fever Is
slowly vet surely changing, and the edu-
cation of the children and room Tor the
school is supplanting it.
To lend moro effectiveness TO the doing
away OF the police and the helping of the
school. there appears now that the thieves
have gone to other fields for operation and
left Manchester.
