Tributes To A Brave
Officer

Archie Hart, police commissioner
Officer Meenan was one OF the most
reliable men on the Rock Island po-
lice force. AT all times he was ready
TO obey orders, regardless of the char
acter of the work and whether it was
in the station or on calls. He was
always cheerful and he had a way of
making people like him. His absence
will be greatly felt

ing my police experience / have never
known an officer who was more loyal,
fearless and efficient than Bud" Nee
nan II made no difference what sort
OF a case he was sent out on, We were
always sure ne would get results. He
knew how to handle people and he
never lost his head. The department
has lost a valuable man.
