GENER4L BJNGU4N'S PEOTESTS

In the current number of The North Amer
lean Review" Police Commissioner Bingham
reiterates his statement of the reforms which
in his judgment are necessary to the regenera-
ton of the New York Police Department. Four
chief requisites are enumerated: % ten year
term of office for the Police Commissioner,
who shall be dismissable during that period
only upon publication of the reasons for his
removal; (2J a secret detective service; 81
establishment of a ratio of one patrolman to
four hundred inhabitants, the ratio to he ad-
justed automatically by annual census and
a. strict police regulation of pawnbrokers,
Junk dealers and all who sell weapons With
the exception of the third. these demands are
not open 10 any deep reaching criticism. and
their fulfilment might perhaps be secured by
persistent and skilful effort. But whether the
proposed ratio of patrolmen to total popula-
ton ought TO be accepted and maintained by
the method suggested is at least an open oues-
ton
Nobody will deny that large increase in the
patrolling force would, under General Bing-
hams mana cement, benefit the city in many
respects. But could not the same results be
gained in some much less expensive way?
And, if not, could this debt ridden city afford
TO maintain the extra regiments called for? If
General Bingham is right in reckoning New
York's present population at 4,2S5 245, his ratio
force of more than ten thousand men, or
about twenty-five hundred more than he now
has. 1t would therefore cost about S3.OOOOOO
extra TO establish that ratio to-day, and with
each succeeding year another extra 100000
or more. This is not a trivial addition TO man
datory expenses in these times, and only stern
necessity could warrant It,
That this necessity does not exist is suggested
both by General Bngham's own admission that
only eight hundred more patrolmen are truly
indispensable and also by the police ratios of
other large cities. London has patrolman TO
every 400 inhabitants, Boston one to every 500
Philadelphia one 10 every 511, and Berlin one
10 every $40, while New York has only one to
every biz. The extensive functions Of the
Berlin police, embracing great variety of
work done elsewhere by other departments, in
creases the force considerably that direct
comparison of the Berlin ratio with that of
New York cannot be fairly made In compar-
ing our own city with the others mentioned
we are inclined to place more weight than Gen
era Bingham does upon an important fact to

become, in transit sense, as accessible as Har-
lem and far more accessible than The Bronx,
and the long endured hardships of travel over
a single overcrowded line of communication like
the Brooklyn Bridge will be happily ended The
uncertainties and miseres of travel across the
bridge have long acted as a positive deterrent
TO Brooklyn's growth. With the opening of the
subway to Flatbush and Atlantic avenues, the
construction of a loop system making the Will
iamsburg Bridge really available as q third link
between the boroughs, and the completion of the
new Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyns isolation will
be broken, and that borough can begin to take
its proper place as a constituent of the greater
city.
1t has been unfortunate that the proper IA
cillties Of intercommunication have been so
slow In coming. large fraction of New York's
the last decade because of the East River bar
rier, and the city has thus lost many potential
citizens and taxpayers. With suitable transit
| facilities many of these exiles would have been
attracted to Brooklyn. which offers much the
same advantages New Jersey in the way Of
breathing space and moderate rents. There is
| room for vast development In Kings and
Queens counties, and the city will more than
| make up in increased tax valuations for the
cost of any investments which it has made or is
about TO make in effacing the East River bar
rier. The boroughs across the river justi-
fed in predicting the arrival of a new era OF
progress with the lifting of the grievous handi-
| cap of inaGessiblity. The whole city will re-
| joice in their hopeful prospects, for the pros
| perity of any section of the city must rebound
In the end TO the advantage of all sections.
