The People Surely
Aroused At Last!

Six policemen to guard Rock Island city of
$4,000 population, embracing six square miles
and 1000 homes! Think Of it!
At that it is three more officers than the city
has had during the closing year of the old ad-
ministration.
Commissioner Fitzsimmons has made an i'm
provement in the distribution of the forces at his
command and has done the best he could with
the men assigned to him, but the glazing, out
standing fact is Rock Island should have three
times as many officers on night duty as it has
now, and possibly few more on the day force,
including at least two traffic policemen.
The present number of members in the day
force is IL, which includes two plain clothes
men.
1t is quite natural, in the present state of af-
fairs, for the people to consider how to provide
for this essential protection-for it is essential if
the people care for the safety Of their persons
and their property.
There is but one way open to meet the situa-
ton adequately and that is by an increase of the
municipal tax rate, for year, at least, the pro-
ceeds to be applied in providing an adequate po-
lice force and also for the upbuilding of the fire
department, including the re-opening of the
closed station and the motorizing of the hook
and ladder truck.
1t is understood that Mayor Schriver is SER
iously considering putting the matter for sec
ond time before the people. No doubt by this
time they realize more fully the need of better
service at the hands of both departments.
1t is believed they will vote for the higher tax
as a matter of self protection.
