with widely divergent effects.
A strong presentment that the pol.

concern that the force Is demoreized

without effectua restraint in certain
neighborhoods, was handed in by one
grand jury
on the heels of this came an opln-

that the police force was highly eff

simultaneously the special grand
jury named to investigate crime con-

Judge Rosalsky of the court of
