Manchester that the police force is not
large enough by at least four men. The
question was talked some time ago until
the people got tired Of hearing the tale
that moro police were needed. and to
ccunteract the appeal then there was
o cry for more street improvements.
Permanent street improvement was the
lobby of the people, and they forgot the
cal! for better protection OF :heir homes
from the desperadoes, who have been for
some time infestinG the city. rob5inG
homes where they saw fit, and in some
cases committing blaclser crimes. The
cry was started in Richmond about a
week ago that the force OF that city
was inadequate.
A gentleman of Manchester yesterday
said that il the force of Richmond could
rot cope with the thieves. robbers, muir
derers and hishwaymen, then how could
four men in Manchester look out Tor
the protection Of $1,000 people? You
might say two men, for there are only
two of them on duty at a time.
The ladies of Manchester took the mat
ter under advisement i little while ago,
and they said that they would see that
they had better protection, from the evil
men whom they are prey Of when their
husbands were away from home.
