 SF Immediately President Thompson call sd the meeting to order-the clerk was tsked if he had any resolutions to read, Ind Clerk Southworth arose and read he following:
 : Tn view Of the recent serious viola lons of law in certain parts of the Eighth and Ninth wards, and the re- E Auest and evident need of citizens of hose wards for further police protec- ion, the police commission wishes to ssure residents in those wards that hey are anxious to take every possible te2 in their power to give adequate blice protection and have decided on he following courses:
 First-The force of patrolmen in those . Hards has already been nearly trebled y withdrawal of a certain part of Re day patrol from the center of the sty and the calling in of supernumer- fies and plain clothes men and such ervice will be maintained up to the Numerical limits of the department ithout neglecting other sections of the sty, and every effort made to detect hilty parties.
 Second- commission requests the i-operation of citizens in those wards view of their large territorial extent, fging them to telephone at once to blice headquarters in case of need, hen detectives and patrolmen will at Ice be sent to any desired spot at Ny time of the day or night, with il- Functions to leave nothing undone to scover and apprehend guilty or sus- nious parties and search for any clues. tizens are especially urged to keep cases of attempted crimes or disor- rly conduct secret, however unpleas- t the circumstances, but at once ac- aint the police with the facts. Too leh emphasis cannot be laid on this quest, as in certain instances the po- are often able, from apparently vial circumstances, to get on the kc:k of an intended criminal before erime has been attempted.
 Third-The commission request citi- as to at once inform the department the presence of any merely suspic- hs persons in any neighborhood, how er slight the circumstances, when de- etives will at once be put on their ck and where necessary, a special troI. day or night, be ordered, which Il be maintained as long as circum- nces demand it.
 Fourth Regarding street lights as a uable auxiliary to protection at Int in district so extended and Ih so many miles of streets and so Ich shrubbery, the commission will at ee request the proper authorities to tall and permanently maintain at st hundrew new street lights in
 wards in question, placing them at
 h. distances apart as will afford the t possible protection.
 Fifth-In case any complaints to the partment by citizens are not prompt and courteously replied to, the com Bsion request that they be informed bout delay. when the matter will
 promptly dealt with by the com
 sion.

 sioner Ullman moved its adoption. nmissioner Kelly seconded the mo- and the resolution was. passed lnimously.
