And Col. Spencer Cosby. Superinten-
dent OF Public Buildings and Grounds,
stated that II 1t was discovered that
keeping the coats buttoned worked a
hardship on the men they would be per-
mitted to leave them open.
Il have heard no complaint and re-
ceived no request from the men in re-
gard to the general orders that they
snail wear their coats buttoned," Col.
Cosby said last night
I'VE have recently bought light sum-
mer uniforms for the men. The orders
are that the coats or blouses shall be
worn buttoned. This is not an invlola-
BILE rule, and IL we should find that it
works too great a hardship on the park
policemen. II might be set aside
Members OF the park police have found
wearing their coats buttoned in the past
few days very uncomfortable. It is said.
and it Is expected they will make
formal request to be relieved OF the
order. Some of the bicycle squad in
the park police have to travel long dis
tlnces. and upon them chiefly. II is said.
the buttoned coat has been a heavy
burden.
