tome of very readable article for your

232 men made up for the purpose OF
policing the entire rural section OF
New York from Montonk Point
to Niagara Falls which is good

to the ST. Lawrence which is more
than 300 miles II you need police help

Your space and my time iorbidS the
enumeration of the multiiariouS duties
which this organization, only six
months old, performs and the response
is always immediate. Modelled after
the Pennsylvania ConStabulary it took
an agitation Of four years to start the
thing. Permit me to quote the words
Of William Muldoon, who came as the
representative Of the Westminster rural
residents "a policemans usefulness
depends upon the authority back OF
him If every lawabiding, decent
citizen in the state is back OF that
policeman, and he represents the state
his authority will be respected If he
is merely a policeman in a village or
in community and given little
authority, nobody pays any attention
to him. If it were possible to have
five policemen with the United States
Government back OF them these five
men would do more good in Westches-
ter County than 100 policemen backed
only by the authority Of the county,
Respect is paid to Federal authority
You know that the Federal authority
goes after you You all take off your
hats to that authority, What the rural
police must have is the power of the
State back of him"
