Same Police PrOtec-
ton as City

ger

The board of police commissioners
held a called meeting last night in the
office of Mayor J. NJ. Duncan when
three new policemen were elected.
They are Henry a. Taylor, Russell
Thompson. and fanny Trigger.
This will bring the police force up to
twenty-one members, city council at
recent meeting having adopted "A
resolution providing for the election
tof three additional members of the
police force.
The board received ten new appli-
cations for the positions and they also
considered five old ones One Of three
men chosen formerly served on the
force, that being fanny Trigger.
II was decided by the board to IN
crease the motorcycle squad to three
men. who will alternate on each tour
Of duty. This, therefore, will give the
city one motorcycle policeman at all
times both day and night. Under ex-
isting conditions only two men on mo-
torcycles are on duty and then only
during the day.
Mayor Duncan announced that he
would AZ once rearrango the schedule

The Library Fund

What is the Library Fund for
which the upper grades of the ele-
mentary schools are working?
This question, which has been asked
by some of the patrons of the school,
is one about which every citizen should
be informed.
The children are working for in
creased library facilities in the grades
and are attempting to get the State
aid provided for school libraries by
meeting the requirements of the
School library law. This law provid-
es for school districts tn" size of Alex
andria that the sum of $500 raised
bv the schools or its friends shall be-
matched bv the local school hoard
and supplemented bv the State board
70 tho extent of 5000. thus making
possible an $500 library.
The Retail Merchants Bureau of
the Chamber of Commerce generously
offered to give 500 OF the required
$500 if the school children would raise
the other 5000. It is for the raising
Of this 5000 that the Save and Earn
Campaiqn has been inaugrated. The
pupils have been instructed not to
beg the money from their parents or
others, but to earn or save 1t them
selves. It is felt that this method ia
culcates habits of thrift and at the
same time provides opportunity for
doing something for the school as a
whole. thereby develoning among the
students the public spirit which IS so
essential to good citizenship.
