Larkin, formerly superintendent Of
street cleaning, and close friend to Will

the inside track for the job of police
sergeant held by the late Sergt. John
g. Brinkley. Larkin Is being boosted
for the job by Milton j. Anderson, ac-
cording to rumors among politicians.
The names of James Taylor, emerr
gency policeman, also has been mem

splendid record since he became q
member Of the police department three
