that the invisibility Of the underwater

Having practically completed his

departments OF Richmond. Expert =.
J. Driscoll of the New York bureau
OF municipal research, left last night
for New York. II is not certain that
he VIII return.
Mr. Driscoll yesterday afternoon
conferred with Mayor Atnslie and
Chief Werner. and went over the out
lines Of his report, The report Will
embody many suggestions of detail
and there will be number OF recon-
concerning the concentration OF cf-
forts IN the police department.
IT was said last night that the re-
port would recommend the elimina-
stion OF the police court. Part II. the
consolidation OF Juvenile and domes-
tic relations court with police court.
and the adjustment OF the probation
officers. OF which there are three,
connected with this court. and the
return OF them to active service on

dated or clerks at small salary be
appointed TO handle the work. and
the policemen now detailed for this
work be restored TO the force for reg
ular patrol duty.
Minor Details.
Many minor details in the conduct
Of the department. It Is said. are dis
cussed In the forthcoming report.
with recommendation OF further con-
solidation with the result Of more ef-
f1ciency and more men on active duty.
Several hours were consumed in
the discussion of the report, which
Of course was of a private nature.
The ofical draft will not be made
public until all the departments shall
have been fully surveyed. But II
was said around City Hall late yester-
dav afternoon. that the above sug-
gestions were among those to be
made by the bureau.
IT was also stated that few changes
would be recommended for the health
department as that part OF the city
government stood very high in offi-
cial circles throughout the country,
and Is looked upon from many direc-
tons as the great example OF perfec-
ton.
One of the important suggestions
to be made concerning the fire depart
ment. it is said, will be a consolida'
ton of company stations and the
adoption of a complete motor system.
Figures compiled by Sc c r ct a r
Jones show that the fire department
working under the motor system may
save the city much money and extend
the efficiency of the department as
well.
The experts are now busy complet-
ing the work OF surveying the en-
cheering department and proposed
consolidation of the water and gas

establishment of purchasing de-
