Police officials do not profess to have any idea as to the purposes of the or ganization, municipally known as the board of police commissioners with an announced elected chairman and clerk under salary.
 Should the plans go through, it is reported, Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth will be assigned to succeed With Street Sergeant William C. Hart, now temporarily on desk duty, as signed to supervision of the detective bureau. Interference with the official supervision of the detective bureau, formulated by the obsolete safety board to satisfy an alleged grievance of a commissioner against Sergeant Bamforth, aroused such storm of protest from citizens and the public generally as to cause that de- partment to be excluded from inno- vations relative to the duties of de- partment sergeants.

Meskiu suggested that policemen on Main street beats can bring about a material benefit to the general public by keep ing the curbs and sidewalks clear of apparent loafers, especially on a Saturday or holiday night.
