REPORT OF ATTEMPT TO
CHANGE Police BOARD

II is rumored that in the coming
session Of the State Legislature a
bill may be introduced to increase
the Board of Police Commissioners
from three to five members. Just
who is preparing the bill or who
will introduce il is not stated. Thomas
n. Stayton, the present Democratic
member of the commission, will re-
tire from the board in May, and his
successor would be named by Resident
Judge Rice, unless the Legislature
should change the law.
10 is likely that some changes may
be urged in the law fixing the age
limit in the present police pension re-
tirement law. This matter was con-
sidered years ago by the Legislature.
An amendment Will be offered, it is
said, to change the present limit OF
% years service to 20 years, as neces-
sary before a policeman can be re-
tired and share in the pension fund.
1t is expected that a bill will be in
PRODUCED in the Legislature to license
legitimate clubs TO dispense liquor q
their members. Such a bill WAS intro.
duced two years ago but was defeated
Since then the courts have construed the
law as it affects clubs by ruling it is
unlawful for liquors to be dispensed FOL
profit to club members. Because Oi
that it is likely that a law providing q
method for licensing bOna-fde and recog-
nized clubs, will be urged in the Legis-
lature.
