POLICE DEPARTMENT.

Maj. Pullman has submitted his an
nual report and estimates for the fiscal
year 1916.
And now he hopes Congress will act
favorably on the several new items" "
said a member of his command
One of the chief items of interest to
the superintendent, it is stated, is the
one which is intended to put the police
pensioners in position to get 100
cents on the dollar, or every cent to
which they are justly entitled.
Another item of interest is the re-
! quest for more pay of certain officials
of the department and the telephone
operators in the central bureau of the
department.
The operators" said member of
the department, certainly should get
an increase in salary They hold posi-
tions of considerable more importance
than some of the higher salaried men
IN the department., and the bureau is an
institution through which much of the
more important business of the de-
paftment passes.
And the operators must necessarily
be men of honor and integrity" he
added, and men who are fully capable
of handling the business of SO impor-
ldHt Il DTdHcn Oh the service.
