Efforts to Reiuvenate Force Meeting
With Poor Success.

Efforts of the city council to re-
juyenate the city's police force are
meeting with poor success, according
TO a statement by Councirfan Roy Al.
Good, commissioner Of public safety.
There are few applications for places
on the force. This condition is be
lieved due to the fact that the younger
, men the council had hoped to attract

in other lines of employment.
The council has hoped 70 take up

its regular meeting next Monday. but
fonfy one or two prospective patrolmen
have made applications for Jobs. Coun-
lehman Good has one returned soldier
in view who may accept a position as
motorcycle policeman auG he may rec
commend the employment Of two
mounted officers to bear the brunt of
patrol duty in the BUSINESS and adj
iacent residence district.
The council apparently is no nearer

Tchief Of the police department than it
was earlier in the week when other
Ncity officials were named.

The names which have actually set
