Large sums have been realized by the
MORE POLICE NEEDED.
An important meeting of the Board OF
Police Commissioners will be held Monday
night 1t is generally conceded that more
policemen are needed in Manchester, and
the que stion Of increasing the efficiency
of the department may be settled at
an early date. While the members of the
force are regarded as faithful and e1iici-
ent officers, it is thought that better order
could be maintained throughout the city
with ore or two additional policemen. Such
a change in the force would be welcomed
by the people of Manchester and lessen
the work of the faithful officers. who are
now compelled to do almost double duty.
