BOYS WANT POLICE TARGETS.
But Maj. Sylvester Says the Depart

There are eight targets stored In the
seventh precinct police station for which
the High School boys have asked, but
Maj. Sylvester says the policemen need
practice with revolvers and some day the
targets may be utilized in that way.
The High School boys have been trying
to establish rifle and revolver range for
some time past with poor success Mai.
Sylvester says the targets now stored in
the police station were bought by the
police money, and that some day he in

II do not think he says. that the
material could be safely used at the
High School by the boys to shoot at with
rifles and the police with revovers, with
