GIVE KICKS" TO POLICE
Withdrawal OF Sanitary Force
Hampers Health Department.
ONLY 40 PATR0lMEN LEFT
Younger Men Assigned to Other
Duty, Leaving Work in
Hands of Oldtimers.

Fully 10 per cent Of the complaints re-
ceived by the Department Of Health are
now being turned over to the Police De-
partment by order OF Health Commits
slones Lederle, Il was learned yesterday.
While there has been little said about the
withdrawal recently OF thirty sanitary
patrolmen by Police Commissioner Waldo.
the action OF the Health Commissioner Is
taken to indicate that II the Police Com
missioner cuts TO almost yone-half the
sanitary police force Of the Department
Of Health II Is UP TO him TO look after
big number OF the complaints.
Health Commissioner Lederle Is in Can
ada on his vacation. but II was learned
that his order was that all complaints
about liquor saloons, piano playing. bo!s-
ferrous and loud talking and caoares
shows should be turned over to the Police
Department, under Section l632 OF the
Penal Code. Such noises constitute about
Is per cent Of the total CT complaints
made I'm the summer months.
II the Police Department Is invest!-
eating the complaints turned over TO II
its efforts are not entirely salutary, TOT
there are as many complaints being
turned in to the Department OF Health al
the present time about noisy liquor ga
looms, small cabaret shows and boisterous
persons as at any time heretofore. There
are now only forty sanitary patrolmen
assigned TO the Department OF Health. IL
was pointed out by the Sanitary Superin-
tendent q short time ago that TO 90 the
increased work there should be q force Of
more than q hundred.
On the request OF the Board OF Health,
the charter requires tho Police Commis-
sioner to furnish fifty or moro sanitary
II could not be learned yes
terday whether the Commissioner had OPP
posed the withdrawal OF the thirty pa
trolmen. A short time ago he sought ad-
dtional sanitary inspectors to help fill the
gaps.
The Department Of Health receives 500
or more complaints a year. To invest-
9ate some OF them requires many hours,
as large number come from out
living districts The Police Commits
sioner in withdrawing most Of the younger
sanitary patrolmen follows the pro-
cedure adhered TO In regard to the Cen
trail Park police force. where with few
exceptions the men are now all oldtimers.
The average age OF that station Is placed
at fifty-eight years.
