No Changes Contemplated the First of

1t is expected that certain members of

Under the law passed at the last session of
Congress provision was made for an in
crease Of one laborer or janitor in the de-
partment no application having been made
for an Increase in the number Of police
men. Provision was made for the appoint
ment of three baiiffs at the Police Court,
which will mean that three policemen who
are detailed there will be restored to regu-
lar police duty.
Many members of the force have been led
to believe that number of changes are to
be made next week, but the police officials
say that there are no changes of any con-
sequence in contemplation.
