Dumas said Mrs. Barron failed to

Referring to the matter Of the city pc

TO us bv both the Chief Of Ploiice and the

Of Police reports twenty four policemen
and the City Secretary twcnty-SiX police
men. We find nine men reported on the
Chief of Police list, which do not appear
on the City Sccretary'S list which makes
a total of thirty-fivc policemen. These
lists were given from memory by the
CITY Secretary as he stated to us that
he had no records and none of these ap

CITY Council for the past eighteen months.
This condition is deplorable and shobld
be rrmcdied by the proper authorities.
We believe that in order to secure great
or efficiency among our peace officers in
all departments. both County and City.
that every man holding a commission be
required to read. write. and speak the
English language. that he may property
serve all legal processes and we respect
fully recommend that this be complied

an ornament and a credit to the county.
We find the new County Jail well con-
~Structed and kept in a good sanitary con
dition. The prisoners quarters are we'll
ventilated and are neat and comfortable.
As to the management of the jail we
do not approve of the manner in which
many prisoners are made TRUSTEES with
the privilege Of carving the keys and Of
allowing them TO bring intoxicating
liquors into the jail at VIII. We find that
it has been the custom Of both %iailorS To-
absent themselves from the premises n
the same time, leaving the Jail in the sole
custody of the TRUSTEES. We recommend
that one Of the %iailorS be compelled to
remain in the premises 1T All times.
