WANT MORE POLICE.

Mr.. McGOnigIe Is going AROUND TOT
signers 10 a petition to the mayor
and council, asking them for an extra
policeman to patrol Broadway nights,
exclusively, from Bay Hill to Main
street. This idea is a good II as
we have too few policemen and their
rounds are long ones. One, or even
two more policemen will cause a very
little more to be added to each tax
nayers bill, but it would add to the
comfort of those residing on Broad
way and near it in the side streets
inst TO know that someone is on
guard not very far away.
