the same as for members of the regular
force. The applicants will be required to be
at least feet inches in height and of APP
propriate weight in full physical health
and vigor, and between the ages Of twenty
three and thirty-five. The requirements as
to. moral character and personal courtesy
will remain as at present. The railway
crossing policemen now on duty will not be
required to pass the examination. But there
are some 200 applicants whose applications
are on file, and any of themswho desire to
be considered for appointment hereafter will,
