attention during the observance of Old
Home Week. The board fully realized
that the orders issued could rot be carried
out without some sacrifice on the part OF
every member OF the force. because OF the
many hours of extra service required, and
the uniform courtesy displayed at trying
periods Is deserving OF the highest COM

plaint OF failure to perform the work as
signed in n courteous and panstaking
manner, and the prompt suppression OF
disturbing elements upon the crowded
streets were particularly noticeable and
have been favorably commented upon BY
prominent citizens.
The board OF police commissioners feel
