ITEMS OF INTEREST TO MEM
BERs OF THE FORCE.

The superintendent of police expresses
himself as much pleased to learn that
his original estimate for 100 additional
privates Of class one was favorably en-
tertained by Commissioner West. When
new cells and corridors for several Of the
precincts, new station house for Ana
costa, an increased contingent fund and
other items of increase were proposed it
was thought the advances would necessi-
tate reduction in the estimate for ad-
ditional men for the force to be consis-
teRt with the revenues Of the District
Mr.. West has determined to indorse the
hundred privates increase, which will be
in further keeping with the demands and
conditions in the District
Among the callers at police headquarters
yesterday was a representative Of the
New York police force, who is the in
ventor of revolver holster, SO con-
structed that the weapon cannot fall
from the holster when the officer is run
ming or while in the mounted service. 1t
is stated that many revolvers are lost in
this manner, and in some cities accidents
have followed where the arm has struck
on the hammer in the fall
New saddle cloths marked I'D. c." in
yellow have been issued to the members
OF the mounted police force.
The desk sergeants of police. those who
perform the clerical work at the station,
have been allowed Sunday night "off'' in
furtherance of a desire to reduce their

So soon as practical they will be given
further extension of time.
ment has recommended that Private G.
G. Auguste be retired from the force on
account of deafness. He has been on the
force for many years. but his disability
Is such as to incapacitate him for duty
where his hearing is necessary.
Maj. Sylvester has given instructions
to have the employees and guards at the
house of detention drilled in rescue work.
This embraces the unlocking and releas-
ing of the wire nettings about the WIN
dows and doors and the use of ropes or
ladders from the several floors of the
institution to the yard to be used in
case of emergency.
Members of the police force are making
preparations for the annual inspection
which is to take place next month, the
exact date not yet having been de-
termined. The inspection usually occurs
about the first or second week in No
vember, taking the place of the parade
which was formerly a feature of the
annual event. Last year the Georgetown
precinct won the flag. Policemen do not
display the interest in the inspection that
was shown In the parades shortly after
Commissioner John b. Wight provided a
flag to be presented to the winner each
year.
Maj. Sylvester last night directed the
captains of the several precincts to de-
tail ten additional bicycle men for duty
in the suburbs today. The extra detail

Extraordinary Improvements.

When asked for his opinion as president
of the board of Commissioners regarding
these estimates Commissioner Macfarland
said:
The Commissioners. in accordance with
the policy of the past seven years. have
asked for all that is necessary distn-
gushing and asking Congress to distin-
Sulsh between extraordinary projects OF
Improvement and current expenditures
Unless this distinction is made either one
or the other of these classes of eXpendi-
lures must be out and the progress OF
the District halted. The reason why our
schools. health, police, fire, street i'm
provement and cleaning, street lighting.
and other municipal services have not
had adequate appropriation, and SO have
been crippled and unable to keep pace
with the growth of the District is because
the appropriations for current expendi-
lures have been out in order to attempt tc
pay for extraordinary improvements out
Of current expenditures.
This is not done anywhere else in the
world in the case of large city, and
| cannot be done here without either con-
| tiscatory taxation or Gripping reduction
| in current expenditures. 1t cannot be
| too strongly emphasized that the natura
| increase in taxation. due to the natura
| increase in property and the values OF
property, gives us all we need to meet oul
| obligations for both extraordinary ant
| current expenditures.
! NO new taxation is or will be neces
sary. We pay now reasonable rates ant
| they afford ample revenue. But every
lc:tizens should understand and should hell
his friends in Congress to understand the
| imperative necessity of distinguishing be
| tween the extraordinary appropria ION
and those for current expenditures, in or
| der TO prevent cutting either and to in
sure their proper payment.
Separated In Estimates.
The extraordinary appropriations mus
be kept separate in the estimates, in Tn,
