POLICE SITUATION.
Proposed Eight-Hour System Still in
Hazy Atmosphere.

Little progress is being made IN the
plans for establishing an eight-hour system
for the police department.. Chief Black
today reported that no designations have
been received since the two that were
filed last Friday 1t became known today,
however, that more designations would
have been rendered by some Of the younger
men of the department if some OF the
older ones had not advised them TO wait
a little longer in the hope that the eight
hour system may be established IN the
near future.
The matter will likely be brought up
tomorrow at the meeting of the Board Of
Police Commissioners. One day last week,
5. X. Smith, president Of the board and
Commissioner William b. Megear held a
conference with. Chief Black and today
General l. Pusey Wickersham, another
member Of the board had talk with the
chief. What was discussed is not known

eight-hour plan.
