the direction OF the Commissioners
and will report to the Superintendent
of Police.
The New York league is not armed
and 1t is not the purpose to arm the
members OF the District league.

however. night sticks would be is
sued and the guards would be given
badges
Among the first questions to be de-
cided will be the type of uniform.

help reduce the number of street acci-
dents, and q third time. during the cpl
demic of infantile paralysis, to aid in
sanitary patrol.
Each time. II was stated, the league
rendered excellent service.
