The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1905-07-12

Some time ago some one in authority
connected with the police department
went TO Washington, u. c.. where they
saw the natty-looking bicycle squad OF
that city, and when they came back
reached the conclusion that this city was
just dying for a bike squad. So within
a short time the residents OF this district
will have an opportunity 10 see some OF
the finest on a wheel, who will be ar
rayed In a uniform that may lead some
10 think that they are messenger boys.
The entire annexed district is TO be
patrolled nights in this manner, and for
the work Patrolmen Parker. German,
Toner Wilkinson. Bogue and Devine have
been selected. Patrolmen Bates and Nc
Laughlin will be made members OF the
day squad
The men have not yet been informed as
20 whether they will be called upon TO
furnish their own wheels, the repairs,
etc
Some OF the men are wondering what
they will do in case they are after a
burglar. etc. what they will do with their
wheels IN case the man that they are
after jumps a fence or lodges In an alley
way They are also much concerned as
10 how they will get along on rainy days,
and their thoughts also wander as far
ahead as the winter time when there is
snow on the ground.
No one has been found here who has
gone insane over the new idea, and in
fact all look upon IL as an experiment
