Combination Patrol and Am
buIanCe and Mounted Ser
geant Are Wanted
by Chief Kerr.
PUMPING ENGINE NEEDED
STATES CHIEF SIBREL
Would Aid in Fighting Fires
in Outskirts Where Water
Pressure is We ak.
Needs Aerial Truck.

Mounts for the sergeant patrol
man and an additional combination
police patrol and ambulance were
the principal recommendations for
1916 made by Chief of Police Mil
lard L. Kerr at the meeting Of the
board Of safety Friday morning.
Chief Irving SiDrel of the fire de-
partment urged the addition Of s.
foot aerial motor truck and an auto
pumping engine in his recommended
tons which were also submitted to
the board.
In discussing the recommends
ton regarding horses for the patrol
sergeants, Chief Kerr declared it to
be almost a necessity because of the
great amount of territory that must
be covered by the men. He believes
that by mounting the sergeants,
work Will be facilitated and that the
department Will be made more eff
cient He quoted as example cities
in California, where all the patrol
men are mounted, showing that a
greater amount of work can be done
with a lesser number Of men in a
more proficient manner. He also
pointed to the movement in Kansas
City and other cities where aut0m0-
biles are being provided for the pa
trolmen, two men to a car
Need Ambulance.
Chief Kerr's recommendation for
. second combination ambulance
and patrol is expected to be consid-
cred seriously 10y the board in the
near future. The same recon-
mendation was made in 1875 but
was tabled by the board. The reason
given by Chief Kerr for wanting the
new patrol is because of emergency
work Of all kinds which cannot be
handled by the present equipment.
In his request for a 75-foOt aerial
truck Chief Sibrel declared that the
present three-hOrse truck was prac-
tically worn out and was in a bad
state Of repair. He believes that
the upkeep Of the new truck would
be about half what the present
equipment costs.
That a motor pumping truck
would aid in saving much property

substance of Chief SibreTs reasons
for asking for the pumping APP
