CRIME
Is Materially Reduced by Use
Of Many Street Lights,
,syi Says an Expert, az

Captain Thomas p. Flahive Of the
Kansas City police department, testi-
flying in the Kansas City supreme
court says that street lights are as
important as policemen in preventing
crime. Hi
Captain Flahive is credited with be-
ing the best informed person on police
matters in the west. He said that the
need Of policemen is greatest when
there are fewest lighted lamps in resi-
derce and business districts. Captain
Flahive's testimony supports what
noted police authorities have said for
years-that one lamp was equal to
several policemen.
