May Be Forced to Sell House.
One policeman who has been on the

paid at the higher rate said yesterday
that he had paid In the past several
years about $4,000 on a house. Il

"and l don't see any way out, but to
try to sell the house. If I am unable
to do this l am just that much the

ments with the extra expense we have

In Washington live in precincts other
than the ones in which they are as

come so unbearable to a number of

PAYING Of FARES
BURDEN TO- POLICE
Members of Force Loudly
Complain of Street Car
Ruling.
SALARIES ARE so SMALL
PENNIES MUST BE SAVED
One Officer Declares Expense Will
Force Him to Sell His
Home.

The police of the city, almost to a
man, are making strenuous objection to
the hardship imposed on them by the
recent ruling of the utilities commission
which compels them to pay a fare when
ever they ride on the street cars, even
though they be in full uniform.
The public generally, a number of po-
licemen have pointed out, has little idea
Of the extra expense this will impose on
the members of the force. Most people
have the idea that two fares a day is
the limit of the expense to which a po-
liceman will be put, they say, one ticket
to ride to the station house when he re-
ports for duty, and another ticket to take
him home when his work is done. The
use of eight or nine tickets daily
would be nothing unusual. it is declared
by members of the force.
Illustration Is Given.
II a policeman happened to be riding
on a car and some disorder occurred
which necessitated an arrest. which is
not at all unusual, duty would compel
the policeman to take the man off the
ear and to the nearest patrol box, it is
Then another car would have to be
boarded, meaning another car fare. Re-
turning to the station house for reserve
duty the same day and then going home
would add two more, making total of
five Going to court the next day to
prosecute the charge the following morn
ing would entail an expense of another
fare and returning afterward still an
other. bringing the total to seven fares,
and any special detail during the time a
policeman was on duty or reserve would
bring this number Of fares to eight or
nine or possibly more.
Every Penny Is Needed.
MANY policemen, according to their own
statements, are reariig families. and a
surprising percentage Of the members of
the force are buying their own homes on
the installment plan. With a family to
rear and payments on the house to be
made. the police point out, every penny
must be counted.
JYsipr from six to ten car tickets in
a dav would mean, in a month, an
exnense of between $3.50 and $3.50.
Most of the privates on the force are
paid from SIS to 500 a month and 1t
