CHANGES IN POLICE FORCE.
Commissioners Agree to RECON-
mend that Two Sergeants be
Appointed for Force.

AT the regular monthly meeting 0
the police commissioners which wa
held last night there were present al
the commissioners with Mayer Paff il
the chair. Tie most important matter
discussed was the proposed change in
the organization OF the force. For
some time the commissioners have
been considering the matter and as the
legislature OF the state will shortly
meet, the commissioners last night
agreed to recommend to City Councii!
That changes he made in 90 -
the civ tn nrn-:uc Tor two Sergeants
instead OF one lieutenant rs the law
now permits. Under the present sys-
tenn there is only one lieutenant and
the mayor has been designating Officer
Roberts to alternate with Lieutenant
Belts at the station house. This de-
tail has caused some slight friction as
there is a difference between the COM
missione-s as to the authority which
officer Roberts has when he is iu charge.
Commissioner Bryant thought that
the titles Of the two officers under the
chief should be sergeants instead Of
licuteuants and this opinion prevailed
in the board.
The mayor was asked to arrange a
meeting between the police commits
sioners and the committee on police OF
council when the subject will be gone
over and steps taken to have the mat
Ter brought before the legislature at the
coming session.
IT the views OF the commissioner
prevail the two sergeants will be known
as first and second sergeant respec-
lively and will be selected from the
members OF the present force.
The board considered the question OF
substituting caps such as are worn by
the Washington police instead OF the
helmets which are now in use and
Mayor Paff was requested to commune
cate with the chief and if the men
have not already purchased their win.
ter helmets to substitute caps.
The semi-annual inspection OF the
force will be held on Saturday, Novem-
her %, at 8 O'clock IN the station house
and at that time the smeu will be in
structed in the rules governing the force.
Hereafter all members OF the police
force shall notify the chief at least one
hour prior to the time OF the roll call
in the event they intend 70 be absent.
The foregoing was the gist OF a resolu-
ton adopted by the board. This &C.
ton vas taken following the report OF
Chief Goods, which, among other
things, set forth that three members
had been absent from the force. All,
however, gave illness as the cause.
Nome, however, was compelled to have
The services Of a physician. 1t was to
obvia,c such matters that the foregoing
resolution was passed.
