1113 Hull Street,
The question OF the increase Of tho
police force IL one that is being generally
discussed, It has been recognised by the
general run Of oitsens that the force
has been too small for years. and the
work OF the department since the two
specials have been on duty has demons
strated that. Both branches have by q
majority vote determined to increase the
force by the addition OF two men,
In both branches, however there was
a. strong show Of opposition and when
the question OF an appropria ton for the
sustenance Of the proposed new men
comes up, hard fight is expected.
Tho advocates Of the increase will
probably win, and II that be the case,
the Board will lose no time In making
the appointments. Tho two men now
Purcell will be strong candidates. The
comm iss oners will meet tonight
