part as follows:
"On account Of the constant temp.

beset police officers, there IL q con.

laxity Of discipline and inefficiency In
that department. For many years
this association has endeavored to
keep in touch with the police situa.

abuses and helping to maintain and
increase the effectiveness OF the 20.

Being to some extent aware Of the
generalization which has prevailed
In certain portions of the police de-
partment, we are In position to fully
appreciate the great importance Of the
work which you have been doing in
the direction Of exposing and punish

King was on visit to his imperial
