MORE MONEY TO Be ASKED

Needs New Boat and Wharf and
More Men in Order TO
Meet Demands.

Commissioner West will ask the Board
Of Commissioners to include In the next
annual estimates for the District budget
that provision be made for the increase
Of the police force in the harbor patrol
service.
Recently the large number of thefts
from launches, yachts. and other river
pleasure craft has directed attention 10
the necessity Of an Increase Of the har-
Dor police patrol.
With a view Of securing an appropria-
ton for the establishment OF an all night
patrol OF the harb0r Commissioner West
will ask for an additiopal engineer for
the police patrol boat. The Vigilant, and a
number OF additional officers.
In addition to this. a new and larger
boat for the service IS needed. The pres
ent boat Is too small for the work re-
quired Of IT, Lieut.. Sutton. in command
Of the harbor patrol station. says that a
boat suitable for the service could be
built for $4,000
In all probability the Commissioners
viii include an estimate for money with
which 10 erect a new harbor patrol sta
ton and wharf, both Of which are badly
needed The quarters OF the station are
small, dilapidated and insanitaTy.
