POLICE SQUAD
TO LEA CAR
PLATFORMS
Board Orders Men Detailed
/ From Each Precinct.
Departments Pay Day.

In an effort to enforce the city ordi-
nance against the overcrowding of real
platforms of trolley cars, the Police
Board yesterday afternoon held a spe-
tcial meeting and decided that six men
be detailed from each precinct for the
work. They will be present this after
noon at a special meeting to be held
for the purpose of i%nstructing them on
Just how they are to proceed. The rear
platform squad will devote its time
exclusively to seeing that the provisions
of the city ordinance are enforced.
One-third of this force of thirty men
will endeavor to be on duty from 6 a.
m. until 2 %. m. h other ~two-thirds
of the detail will be on from 4 p. n.
until midnight.
To each captain is to be left the
selection of posts for men in his pre-
cinct.
There will be a special meeting of the
Police Board at 4 p. m. today, at which
the men detailed to the rear platform
squad will be instructed in their new
duties.
Police Captain Oscar Vogel, of the
Fourth Precinct station, selected Po-
licemen Charles Fessler, George Krom-
elbein, Owen Gilroy, Adolph Lindaman.
Color Alliston and Edward Schroeder
as the Trolley Squad on the Hill sec
ton. Alliston and Schroeder are also
members of the bicycle squad, but will
serve on the new squad until spring.
There was much comment in police
circles today over the action of the
Police Board in instituting the new
squad.
''They named thirty men in the five
precincts" said one official, land thus
half of the number recently appointed
were taken from the several precincts.
I feel it is the duty of the Public Serv-
ice Corporation to look after that end
8of It, and hire special policemen to
keep the platforms clear"
The commissioners denied that pro-
motions or changes in the department
were discussed.
City Auditor Forman appeared in
connection with the plan to pay po-
licemen's salaries on the first and hf-
teenth of the month. He said to do SO
might cause confusion as the fire de-
partment being paid on those days.
1By paying the police department at a
idlfferent time danger of a mix-up in
accounts would be avoided. He will APP
pear before the board at the next regu-
lar meeting and make a more formal
presentation of the case.
