Department Hopes at Least That
New Council Will Increase
Present Force.

When the new Council begins its
work in September, the Police De.
partment hopes to have Its present sI,t
increase which 1t requested some
months ago. More patrolmen are
needed for South Richmond. where.
with population OF more than lS.e@7
people. there are now only six officers
Ia captain, desk sergeant and four
patrolmen-to serve In shifts on night
and day duty. Dividing the number
by half for the day and night tours OF
duty, respectively. 1t will be seen that
South Richmond has not the protection
which the department claims 1t should
have. ,{
The department is also DESTROYS OF
placing more men on the north side
OF the river, where. on account of the
long beats and the number Of impor-
tant ones and the far outlying districts
which came into the city BY annexa-
The shortening Of beats would also
mean that there would have to be
more patrol boxes, and IN the Eas St

POLLOCK thinks
ALLEY GAN CLOSE
Believes Court Will Dissolve
Temporary Injunction When
Facts Are Presented.

According to Councilman Gilbert IS:
Pollock there Is no doubt In The world
about the City Council having the
right to close Scott Alley or any other
alley In Richmond If it chooses. The
only thing at issue In such cases Is
what damages are sustained by the
abutting property owners.
In discussing the temporary in1unc-
ton granted to N. w. Bowe and others
against Fred W. Scott and others. re-
straining them from closing Scott Alley.
Mr.. Pollock said: There IS no donpt.ln
my mind about the Council having the
power to close the alley. The city
charter gives he Council that right.
Tho question that arises when such
action is taken. Is whether the OBJ
jectors have been damaged. If so, then
it is a matter for a jury to pass upon.
II am Of the opinion that Mr.. Scott
will ask for hearing Of the case on
Its merits within the next few. days
While have no desire to anticipate
Judge Grinnan's decision, feel sure
that the injunction will be dissolved
when hetfacts in the matter have been
considered"
Mayor Richardson, who vetoed the
ordinance, recently approved one CIV
ing the Virginia Railway and Power
Company the right to close street If
