QU|ZZ|NC Of CITY
POLICEMEN POINTS
TO CIVIL SERVICE
Chief Thinks Council Should Con-
slider Plans For Its Estab-
lishment Soon
HOLD DAILY EXAMINATIONS
Patrolmen Asked Pertinent Ques-
tions Regarding City and Cen
trail Pennsylvania

Early action toward the establish
ment of civil service in the police de-
partment is forecasted by daily eX-
aninations of patrolmen inaugurated
by Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison.
These examinations are now being
conducted by Captain Joseph P.
Thompson. They started last evening
at roll call.
Colonel Hutchison is of the opin-
ion that Council will soon consider
plants for placing the police depart
ment under civil service rules; but he
could not say definitely this morning
whether an ordinance would be pre-
sented within the next month or not.
He said the questions put to the pa
trolmen at roll call were for the pur
pose of finding out what they know
about Harrisburg and to give them
information that will help them an
swer questions asked by visitors.
patrolmen Questioned About the Town
The questions asked last night and
to-day at roll call were regarding Har-
risburg's population, number of miles
of paved streets. longest street, how
the streets run, numbers of houses in
certain blocks. provisions OF ordi-
nances governing traffic; licenses and
sales by hucksters; the location of
nearby towns. how they can be reach
ed, and so on. Many of the patrol
men were unable to answer many of
the questions off handed. They were
told to get busy and learn something
about the town.
The belief that there is more back
of the daily questions than merely
the drilling of the patrolmen in a
knowledge of their city is based on
the Instructions given the men to
study facts. not only about Harrisburg,
but in other branches in which a pa
hrolman should be versed. Colonel
Hutchison admitted there might be a
school of instruction for patrolmen
started in the near future.
