Police Department.
1 Waterbury, Conn, Feb 20, 1903.
To the Honorable Board Of Commits
sioners of Public Safety Of The City
| of Waterbury.
munication OF the Waterbury Herald
relative to the speed of street railway
cars, referred to me by your honorable
board, I respectfully recommend that
your honorable board request the en-
cheering department to furnish to this
office the distances between the several
cross-streets on the street car lines, 90
that the cars may be timed between
said cross-streets.
4 BY 50 doing the speed of cars can be
accurately ascertained by an officer
with stop watch riding on the car,
or by two or more officers stationed at
cross-streets within signalling distance
of each other.
Pending the receipt Of the informa-
ton herein requested this department
will make special efforts to enforce
sections A and OF the ordinances con-
corning railroads, as required by vote
OF the board Of aldermen.
Respectfully submitted,
G. M. EGAN,
Chief Of Police
\ This matter resulted In q discussion
as to the easiest means of getting at
the object desired Mayor Kilduff,
i who presided, thought the easiest way
would be for two officers to time a
/ cars speed between two certain points
and take the distance afterward. The
| stop watch idea did not seem to meet
/ with any favor. However, the chief
Of police stood up for his suggestion
| on the grounds that it was the best
and most accurate one and In the end
| the easiest one OF all. There would
be no getting away from evidence OBJ
4 tanned In that manner. The mayor
i informed the chief that he knew of a
place where the law regarding the
speed of cars is violated every time
car passes there.
/ Some of the commissioners openly
said that 1t would be practically I'M
possible to enforce the law, to which
/ the chief replied that IL once started
upon 1t would be necessary to keep at
| ii. He said that at present the sched-
ule in force on the suburban lines
would not allow of speed that keeps
within the law. The matter was fl
nally disposed of by letting the matter
rest between the chief of police and
the city engineer.
A communication was received from
City Attorney Kellogg to the enect
that there is pending before the legis-
| lature a bill abolishing the age limit
for appointments to the supernumerary
notice force. Mr. Kellogg's letter said
