FEW MEN APPLYING
FOR PLACES ON The
CITY POLICE FORCE
Still so Vacancies and Only Three
Applications in Sight for To-
morrow's Meeting.
EFFORT TO BE CONTINUED

Only three applications have, been re-
ceivcd for positions on the ponce force to
be acted upon at the meeting OF the Board
of Police Commissioners tomorrow nfter-
noon. This number is rather Disappointing
as il was expected that there would be a
much larger number presented tomorrow.
At a recent meeting there were thir-
teen applications received and 1t was
thought then that the force would not be
long in filing up, "a the change to the
eirht-hour system is dependent upon n
sufficient number of men being secured to
enable the change TO be made.
One police official said today that at
the present rate it would take about a
wear to fill the force to the required
strength. He said that the present short
age numbers GO men.
Observers of the police situation arc
greatly disappointed that the number oil
applicants is not greater than IT has been,
as il was expected that when the an
nouucement war made that the system
would 90 To the eight-hour plan, that there
would be rush for places on the force.
IL is also known that some of the re-
cent applicants had not expected to
work under the present system, but under
the proposed eght-hour arrangement.
The failure. Of these men to go on the force
will also act as deterrent 10 others
planning TO apply for positions.
The members of the force themselves
have been making efforts TO secure adj
ditional men, the plan being that each
man on the force would try TO interest
one applicant and that in this way there
would be little delav in filing the force TO
the recently authorized quota.
However, the effort will be continued,
with the hope that il viii succeed. for only
in this way will the city get the protection
20 which IL is entitled.
