 The police fioodiight is on again, for soon after the city government men turned down the request for increase in pay and working conditions of the members of the police department out comes a published statement to the effect that the request was made by a couple of cops on their own. volition and <hat they did not represent the other members of the department. Now what do you know about that? There was not peep from any cop against the proposition, and every one of them would have gladly welcomed a raise in pay; but just as soon as the project failed, out comes the clubmen and de- clare the committee of policemen were self appointed and only represented themselves!

When the mat ter came before the council for action every members had received a letter pleading with them not to favor the 1 Bogue brook plan but to support the Miller. pond idea and ignore the rec concentrations of the water board.
