CITY NOW ENTITLED
TO MORE OFFICERS,
But PAYS TOO Low

Richmond's population having been
fixed at approximately $4,000 by the
new census, the city is now entitled to
maintain a police force OF 81 men and
five officers.
1t Is not believed, however, that the
board of police commissioners will au-
thoriZe the department to be recruited
up to its new maximum strength.
Chief of Police Wenger has not ad-
vocated that the size of the depart
ment be increased, and he frankly ad-
mits that even If this were authorized,
difficulty would be experienced in Sc
curing new policemen.
Men who contemplate making ap-
plicatiOn for appointment to the police
force come to me continually and
when they ask what the pay is and are
informed that the salary is 500 a
month for the first six months and
S105 thereafter they state they can
make more money in three weeks in
other lines of work and walk away
without making application Chief
Wenger remarked.
No Appreciation Of Veterans.
Veteran members of the police force
complain that the citizens of Rich
mond, whose lives and property they
appreciation for their faithful service.
They point to the fact that after years
of service they receive no more salary
than the officer who has just COM
pleted his first six months on the
force.
These men have urged police
wage payment on a sliding scale,
whereby their salaries would be auto
matically increased after certain per
iods of service. They point out that
practically every city in the United
States has established this system.
Under the wage system that OBJ
tains fere there is no incentive for a
man to continue on the police force" "
remarked one of the officers.
Just why our best interests should
be ignored l fail to understand, for
every citizen will admit the great i'm
portance of the city maintaining an
efficient police department. This ef-
ficiency cannot be maintained so long
as desirable men are discouraged from
making application for appointment.
Firemen Also Affected.
The same complaint voiced by the
veteran members of the police force

uancy of service-fnds echo in the

as difficult to keep it's fire fighting
force to maximum strength as it does
in maintaining the police department
on the same basis.
Members Of both the police and the
fire departments also believe that the
establishment Of retirement funds for
the two departments would be an ad-
ditional incentive to attract men to
the two services. but such funds can
not be created until they are author
iZed by state law.
