POLICE Relief

Unpaid.

Repeated rumors that the funds OF

are In bad shape. have caused consid-
erable unrest among police officers.
Il Is not denied by officers in the cen
trail police station that the society Is
considerably embarrassed, but II Is
stated that there is no cause for
alarm.
Lieut.. Thomas O'Grady says the as
easements have been raised tempor~
arily from so cents to 81. Ii is plan
ned 10 keep this increase in effect for
three months, when 1t Is expected the
society will be on its feet once more.
The recent deaths OF the wives OF
three patrolmen have depleted the
funds OF the society, SO that now
there is one claim unpaid. The so
ciety has $3.50 in the bank, but the
members have agreed not TO draw
upon that.
Recently, the payment of benefits
upon the deaths of officers wives has
been abandoned. The officers In gen.
cral feel there is no cause for appre-
hension.

Regarded from the standpoint OF

seems to have a bullish look. The

The demand for fresh pork was
hardly ever more active than at the

fact that laboringmen have plenty OF
work. Notwithstanding the general
bullishness of the outlook as noted
