MORE SQUADS PERISH.
Commissioner Bingham Threatens
Three Platoon System also.

Police Commissioner Bingham got down to Null
berry Street early yesterday morning and abol-
ished some squads" and "cut down. others.
1t was bad morning for squads and closed
with a threat which positive state
ment that the three platoon system. established
by Commissioner McAdoo. would be abolished.
The "vagrant squad" sometimes known as the
"mendicant guard" was abolished and its men,
bers ordered patrol duty.
The traffic squad" received gentle blow in
the transfer of Roundsmen John Dehan and
Alfred Reid to the Newtown station, Long ISL
and. This was taken as an intimation that the
Commissioner proposes to "cut down the. traffic
squad"
Are you giving serious consideration to
change in the present platoon system2' the
Commissioner was asked.
II am was the response
1t is generally believed that the Commissioner
and his experts have found that the three
platoon system is an encouragement to indo-
lence, and fosters neglect of duty on the part
of the police. 1t established in fulfilment Of
a prediction pledge made by Mayor Mcclellan
during his first campaign for the Mayoralty.
Commissioner Bingham admitted willingly yes
terday that he had the subject under serious
consideration" and this is considered In police
circles equivalent to a positive statement
that it will be abolished.
Complaints coming in from time to time
about the negligence Of police, and the numerous
robberies and Waylaying OF citizens all tend to
prove the weakness of the three platoon system
as far as the duties OF the police to the taxpay-
eTs are concerned. There has been a persistent
rumor about Mulberry Street that it would be
abolished, and the prophets already see the
handwriting the wall.
