Greene Will Not Appoint Any More Detec-
tive Sergeants.

Police Commissioner Greene yesterday examined
four roundsmen and twenty patrolmen who are
candidates for promotion sergeants and rounds
men He will not make the appointments until
Monday however. The Commissioner says that
tho denartn7ent is badly in need of more rounds
men, as while every precinct ought to have, 10 his
opinion at least four roundsmen, many Of them
now have only three. He does not think that three
roundsmen do the work Of a precinct, and, as
he has sufficient money left from his appropriation
10 make tie promotions. he will do SO Monday.
Commissioner Greene says that he does not IN
tend TO appoint any detective seTgeants before
he leaves office. When former Police Commissioner
Murphy left office. two years ago, he appointed
bout an bour before he gave UP his desk sixty
additional detective sergeants. BY the decision OF
r. Crnrt of Appeals Commissioner Greene was
conpelIc1 to retain these men. and to keep them
ornpioyed had to detail them to desk DUTY IN the
