Mai. Richard sylvester hopes he soon
will be able to increase the harbor pa
troll and afford a greater amount of
protection to the owners of realty and
boats along the river front.
The harbor precinct has been a
source of some embarrassment to the
department." said Maj. Sylvester. lin
that there has been a numerical insult
lciency of men to take up the many
growing duties which must be per-
formed a ong the Potomac river and it's
tributaries"
Ten policemen are on duty in the har-
Dor precinct, said the superintendent,
and they are divided between the day
and night services. An increase, he
said, is greatly needed, but the lack of
men prevents it at this time
Motorcycle and bicycle policemen are
deeply interested in the work of en-
forcing the traffic and other laws Most
of their activity has to do with the
traffic regulations. and. it is stated,
they are kept busy looking after vehi-
cles all the time they are on duty
The result OF their work during the
last fiscal year is shown in the report
of Maj. Sylvester as follows.

delay in the turning out of plans for

sress has appropriated S132,G00 the Of

Association last night
Following a report by c. NJ. Clark,
chairman of the school committee, that
plans for th@ new school building prob
ably would not be turned out under five
months. President John G.. McGrath de-
clared that he had received information
tending to show that the municipal
architects office could make more rapid
progress in turning out the plans if it
desired. He said that he understood
the specifications We're to be similar to
these for the Mott building. and that
he had b.eu further advised that there
was slackness in the work of the office
There is no excuse, he charged for so
much time being demanded for the
preparation OF the plans. and if reason
able progress is made the building, he
predicted, could be made ready for oc-
cupancy hy the beginning Of the next
school year.
At the conclusion Of the meeting, Mr.
McGrath announced that he would call
an executive committee meeting to dis
cuss what steps to take with respect to
having the school plans finished with
the least possible delay 1t was stated
that d delegation probably would be
appointed to take the matter up with
the Commissioners.
