The electric light bill will be about $3.50
How would you like it if $3.50 covered the cost for one

This like wild dream in these days where the
daily paper carries record of advancing costs
And yet the Potomac river which is now usad only for

Government engineers have figured on This nroiect but

Not many years ago RAY PULL
MAN and LOUIS BROWNLOW
were newspaper writers AMI had Of
fees together. Pullman had an obses-
sion for police department clippings.
He had a file ten feet high, or some
outra. .eous height, filled with clip
pings about police problems and ad-
nistration.
"If ever / become Commissioner
Of this District II make you the
superintendent Of pc ice," said Louis
Brownlow one day to Ray Pullman.
Mind you, they hadn't ever
iresmed that Louis Brownlow would
ever be appointed Commissioner.
But one day the seas upheaved and
the ear quaked, and the Democrats
won an election. and Louis Brown
low, IN the fullness OF time. coming
from a ,ong and honored line Of
Democrats In Tennessee. was made
Commissioner of the National Capt.
tai.
So Ray Pullman was appointed
police head.
Immediately he fell into an un-
dertow. He found out things were
not breaking right for him. He had
ideas Of his own which were differ
ent from those existing on the
force.
The first thing he and Louis
Brownlow found was that certain
peop'e could not bc arrested no mat
ter what they did. Ray and Louis
said that must be stopped.
