men. He spoke OF the fact that the
city is not properly patroled, but said
he is doing the best he can.
When the chief was asked what he
would request of the aldermen this
year, he said that the city should
have at least one patrolman for every
1000 people, and that this would
mean at least thirteen or fifteen more
patrolmen. He will ask for another
plain clothes man; that the call sys-
tenn be put in the new station house,
and that the city patrol wagon and a
horse be kept at police headquarters.
The chief may also recommend one
or two mounted men, He is of the
opinion that one mounted officer on
the outskirts of town could do as
much as three patrolmen; also one
mounted man during the day.
