W|CF|ELD TO ASK
FOR ANOTHER COP
Burgess Trying to Get Better
Police Protection For
Taxpayers

Although the borough council failed
the police force be increased by the
addition of a motorcycle policeman
and several patrolmen, Burgess Wig
field has not given up his efforts to
secure for the taxpayers better police
protection.
At the next meeting of council, he
announced this morning, he will ask
that he be given authority to hire
another patrolman to act as a substi-
tute to officers who are sick. disabled
or on their vacations. For over a
week Patrolman Clinton Jones has
been off duty on account of sickness.
There Is no patrolman to take his
place and as a result his beat" is
not patroled-unless some of the other
patrolmen are forced to take larger
beat"
According to the burgess, he will be
forced to give the borough less police
protection for several weeks during
the vacation season IL council fails to
give him a substitute patrolman. Each
patrolman, he says, is entitled to a
weeks vacation and the Chief of Po-
lice and sergeant each two weeks.
When the vacation season starts there
will be no one to take the absent
coppers place, If substitute is not
hired. That means that, with one man
on duty at the police station, there
will be only three patrolmen to cover
the entire borough at night and none
during the day.
Burgess Wigfield said this morning
that he has already taken the matter
up with the chairman of the police
committee of council and that he be-
lieves favorable action will be taken
on his request.
