The Flanders 90 which recently won
the First to Hazleton' medal arrived at
the hitherto unattained British Columbia
town Just as rise in the river opened
the short fall navigation season. As a
result, the is now on its way back
to seattle. +. E. Sands and the members
of his crew have been guests of the
Hazleton municipality pending the ar
rival of the steamer.
With the influx daily of motor cars of
those who have been spending the past
summer In the mountains and abroad
and the rapidly increasing number of
trucks and delivery wagons in the Ma
tional Capital the value of a traffic squad
in this city again presents itself more
strongly this year than ever before The
truck business is growing large and
larger every day. The past season has
seen the installation of several motor
cycles. There are altogether about sixty
Ice and, in addition, about fifty crossing
policemen. Suggestions have been made
that by placing man in charge of
these combined forces. with the relative
rank of captain, corresponding with that
of a precinct, high standard of eff
cheney could be obtained and excellent
results procured. AS it is al present the
men get their orders from the various
commanding officers of the precincts
where they are stationed. whereas under
the proposition suggested all of the men
detailed for this work would come under
one head he to have the same respon-
slbillty as the captain of precinct. All
matters or complaints relating to traffic
could be referred directly to him, and
quick results obtained in remedying err
rors of contested traffic conditions.
MAJ. sylvester, superintendent of police,
is keen to the situation in Washington
and VIII again endeavor to secure tt. ough
Congress traffic SQUAD to regulate con-
dltions here. In addition to having an
up-to-date traffic squad. he viii ask Con-
greSs to provide a motor vehicle for the
use of the detective branch of the service
such as is in operation in other cities It
is contemplated that such a machine be
kept at police headquarters in which to
make hurry responses to calls for detec-
tives when their assistance may be re-
qulred. frequently many times a day At
the present time they the street cars
walk, and in important cases call in taxi
ca BIS. The reasonableness for having an
expeditions service in this condition is
apparent Time saving counts for success
He will also ask for another motor patrol
wagon. and also motor car for the use
of the major and superintendent the
same as the chief of the fire department
has at his control in responding to fires
