oUR POLICE AND THEIR PAY.


Ts important at all times that Wilmington be policed
i properly
1t is doubly important in these days, when public
and private property is menaced by German plotters
who will stop nothing which serves the interest OF
their Hohenzoern master.
With respect TO the salaries received by our po
lcemen we take It that it is question Of whether
the city can afford pay more, than one Of whether 1t
should pay The simple TRUTH Of the matter Is that
there never has been when the Wilmington police
man received salary in keeping with the faithful and
hazardous service he was called upon TO perform.
since war prices went into effect for all he essentials
of life the average policeman has been of
nomically than he has been. Every day adds to
the pinch In addition, the pay offered by industrial
plants is so much higher than the scale Of the Police
Department that there Is a constant temptation TO
policeman to don the uniform and put tho overalls
The effect Of such conditions the police force Is
shown by the fact that there fifteen vacancies now;
that nineteen eligible for retirement on pensions
and that many the not vet eligible to retire are
ialklng Of giving up police work and taking up other
pursuits unless bonus Of fifteen per cent be paid
them.
It is up TO City Council TO decide whether such con-
cesson should made to the experienced men who now
compose the force or they shall be starved out Of the
service TO make for green who doubtless soon
win make demands equally imperative, ar those which
now are being made by the experienced men,
Certain Il is that our Police Department should not be
permitted TO 80 fifteen per cent bonus rock
il will be much better to pay the experienced men
fifteen per cent bonus than to have them quit and
then be compelled pay that much more to mex
perenced men M the vacancies. There such things
as the prevailing cost Of living snd the prevailing rate
OF wages in our community and the policemen have
exceptional opportunities for knowing what they arr
and where desirable Jobs open for willing men.
Our Councilmen should not lose sight Of these things
when they are passing upon the trouble in the Polic
Department and seeking a cure for it.
