ness as the only economical
means Of transportation in the
city is being realized by the
local police officials, and the time is
drawing near when the horse patrol wag-
ons will be discarded and motor vehicles
substituted in order to maintain it's
present standard of efficiency. The writ
er last Sunday spoke of the progress be-
ing made by the various municipalities,
both large and small, in, equipping their
ire departments with motor-driven appa-
ratus and the manner in which the horse
was being rapidly eliminated all over the
country. Today another branch of the
municipal government is referred to and
Illustrations presented showing how the
police of other cities are keeping pace
With the fire departments SO fer as
equipment is concerned.
Maj Richard Sylvester, SUPERINTENDENT
II the local police department, is DESTROYS
hat his department shall keep abreast of
he times and be equipped with motor
atrol wagons similar to those in other
METROPOLITAN cities. At present the de-
artment possesses but one motor We
nicle-a Franklin patrol wagon-in serv-
ice in the second police precinct This
vehicle was installed October so. 1909,
and has not. only performed efficient
service, but has been a big saving to-
mis- branch of the government.
In view of this satisfactory service,
Maj. Sylvester is now endeavoring to Sc
cure additional machines, and If his rec
concentrations are approved and he sue
ceeds in securing the necessary appro-
priation, he hopes to provide one for each
of the eleven precincts. It necessarily
follows that the chief of police should
be equipped in a similar manner as the
chief of the fire department. with an au-
tomObile instead of the present horse
drawn vehicle which has been allowed for
several years past. His presence is gen.
orally necessary at big fires and acct
dents. especially when police from sew
eral precincts have been summoned. On
a number of occasions he has been trans
ported to various points in automobiles
owned by private individuals in order to
properly detail his forces. In his annual
report, which Is now in the hands of the
District Commissioners. it is also recon-
mended that an automobile be provided
for the members of the detective force

Men who know, used last year 400 y521 Goodyear

This years demand is three times last years %

Motor car makers know most
about tires. And l27 leading
makers this year have contract
ed for Goodyear tires. That's
twice as many as last year.
That is the simple result of
experience. Over 100000 of these
tires have now been tested out.
They have proved their claim
to cut tire bills in two-proved
it hundred thousand times.

No Extra Cost

These patented tires used to
cost one-hfth more than other
standard tires. That's true no
longer. They cost but an equal
price.
Tires that can't rim-cut cost
the same as tires that do. Tires
10 per cent oversize cost the
same as tires just rated size.
Avoidance of rim-cutting, as
proved by statistics, saves 23per
cent.
