TO EXAMINE POLICE, TOO.
Search for COnsumptiUes 4mong
Them.

1t leaked out yesterday in the course Of the
examination of employees Of the Street Cleaning
Department TO ascertain how many affiict-
ed with tuberculosis that similar examination
is TO be made Of the members of the police
force.
The order for the examination has not been
issued but it is understood that il Will be sent
out In the future. and that the examina-
ton Of the policemen will be begun as soon as
the examination of the street cleaners is ended.
At Police Headquarters last night and at the
various stations. when the news that ex
animation would be ordered became known
there considerable surprise and some trept-
dation on the part Of the policemen. While the
number of cases found far in Major Wood
bury's department has not justified predictions
made prior TO the examination. sufficient have
been found to show that there is some danger
to the men from germs in the streets. The eX-
animation Of the police will be based on the idea
that they, too, are more likely 70 be infected
by the germs. since they spend much time amid
the dust Of the streets.
