POLICE NEED MONEY
Maj. Sylvester Submits Esti-
mate for the Year.
AN INCREASE OF $l25,762
Showing of the Strain of
work Upon the Present Force. and
Shameful Condition of Cells in
Several of the District stations.

Mai, Richard Sylvester, superintendent
of police, yesterday submitted TO the
Commissioners the estimates OF expenses
of his department for the next fiscal
year, total Of Sl,o96, 5lSS5, an increase
of $lE762 over the appropriation for the
current hscal year Provision is made
for an increase Of fifty privates. FIVE
additional men to a precinct, which the
superintendent says is a modest estimate
in view Of the rapid growth Of the city
and the continuous demands for police
protection An estimate for two addi-
tiOnal sergeants is also included.
An appropriation OF $500 for an ad-
ditlOnal clerk in the police department
is requested, as it is stated the police
department has never had afforded # the
needed clerical stan. and members OF
the force have been relieved OF street
duty and assigned to inside work as a
matter OF necessity. Recommendation is
made that the salaries Of the three pres
ent clerks be increased from $500 to S1,00O
each.
OverwOrked Telephone Operators.
The major strongly urges an increase in
the salaries Of the six telephone operators
at headquarters. These employees" he
says, have never had an Increase in pay.
although their work has probably doubled
since the establishment Of the bureau in
which they operate They have no sun
days, holidays. or days off. In view Of
the continuous calls on their efforts they
are surely deserving Of such relief" He
also recommends an increase Of from
5000 TO 500 in the salaries Of the two po-
lice matrons. With regard TO the recon
struction Of cell corridors and the in
stauation of cells in the First, Fourth.
and Sixth precincts stations, the report
says:
For several years the department has
invited attention to the gloomy. ill-venti-
lated, insanitary condition of cells and
corridors at several of the stations. They
are ancient and sickly places for the con
fnement of human beings. Indeed, when
at times they are crowded with unfortu-
mates, the penalty Tor almost any ordinary
offense with which any Of them are
charged is undergone 10y restraint IN
these cells. They are cleaned and painted.
and every conceivable thing is done To
afford relief, but it is impossible 70 af-
ford that humane and civilized treatment
which belongs 70 these days of progress.
The cells and corridors at the stations
named should be modernized."

penses aggregate S990J5 and include rent
