Asks Protection.
TWO PATROLMEN NAMED


Joseph P. Short and John H. Dunn
were iast night appointed third grade
patrolmen BY the Board Of Police Com
missioners
The Board received an opinion from
Corporation Counsel Record to the effect
that as the Mayor had under the new
law appointed Health Board of ten
members. the Police Board was relieved
from all responsibility in the matter Of
building the new Hospital, and from mat,
ters pertaining to the Health Depart
ment. The opinion was received and
fled.
A communication was read from the
Merchants Protective Association COM
planning that the West Bergen section
was not properly protected, and that at
least two more policemen were wanted to
patrol that section-one by day and an
other by night. The communication was
referred to Chief Murphy with power
At the request Of Collins, Linnely &
Co, the police power formerly conferred
Martin scanlon was conferred on Clar-
ence Quinn.
Eleven policemen were arraigned on
various minor offenses. Nearly all of
them were failure to pull signal boxes on
time, ana the usual excuses were given,
such as momentary forgetfulness or
watches being out Of order. Some of
these delinquents got off free, ethers were
fined a days pay. The principle cases
were those of Patrolman James Dolan,
who sat on stoop waiting for the
roundsman, and Patrolman John Quinn,
who was an hour late in reporting for
duty. An additional charge was pre-
ferred against Dolan-thst Of failure to
pull signal box on time. Both men were
fined FIVE days pay. Part Of Quinn's
penalty was inflicted because he declin-
ed to offer an excuse. He said he saw
no use in doing SO.
Col. Gilbert Robinson, the clerk of the
Board, was absent from the meeting on
account Of the death of his wife. His
son, Roundsman William Robinson, act
ed as clerk.
