POLICE N PARIS
COST CENT A Day
TAXPAYERS PROTECTED AT UN-
USUALLY HIGH COST, YET
SYSTEM Is EFFICIENT.

PARIS, Aug. 31.-For one cent
day the Partisan is protected against
crime, theft and fire. The Partisan
budget amounts to A million francs
($8,S00, 1000, which works out at 10
francs ($3) per year per head. For
those persons who find this expen-
sive there is the suburban region,
where practically nothing is spent on
police; a paltry three million francs
($600,000), 1t may be added that the
suburban policemen, although they
are scarce, are not oVerworked, and
1t speaks wonders for the high stand
ard of orderliness and honesty of the
French that it should be possible for
large agglomerations of communes
to exist without more than a dozen
policemen. The expense of policing
the suburbs is mostly provided for by
tax on alcohol. Thus by poetic JUS
tice the drunkard who is taken up by
the police is paying his captor out Of
his own pocket.
Police expenses In the provinces
are considerably less than in Paris.
Nice pays most in proportion to the
number Of inhabitants; about
francs ($1.20) per year per head.
This is accounted for by the number
of foreign visitors who have to be
specially watched after or over. or
the other cities Marseilles pays
francs GO cents, Bordeaux francs
ESQ cents) Toulouse, 2 francs (56
cents); Saint Etienne, francs (43
cents and Lyon, cheapest of all,
franc so $50 cents.
The Paris police costs so much
more for a variety Of reasons. For
one thing, the police authorities have
to pay for the sanitary service, the
inspection of markets and the upkeep
of the anthropometric department
which though maintained by Paris is
utilized by the whole country. Be-
sides this, all the master criminals of
the provinces come to Paris to hide,
and the organized bands Of malefac-
tors have their headquarters at Paris
for there alone can they find receivers
for stolen goods and brokers for atol-
en- securities.
