Long Under Contemplation
While III" Director j. Interested pri-
marlly III working nlI u plan t. eaten
bandits. he is also Interested IN getting
shelter booths for th" train" policemen.
who have 20 stand our in the bitter cold
for hours az u time during many days
of winter. During III" last days of
1920 Mayor Moor" signed nm ordinance
aprrOpriatinG so. 900 for shelter
houths for tratiir policemen The fol-
lowing year various members Of N"
Bureau OF Police got together and cX-
chnng"I IDEAS rs to the best kind Of
Il shclr'r booth that could be built.
\ sample booth was constructed Of
pressed steel, with six sides and us
many windows. SO the policeman, pro-
,crted from the storm. could So" evcry-
thing that went on about him. An
"loctri" somNphore was mounted or the
top Of the booth, and n "tio- Stop"
sign was so arranged that it could be
operated from inside the booth.
This hn"th was impractical, said
Director cortelyuu in discussing N"
sample booth I'VE haven't completed
our plans. but we intend 10 have booths
that arc more substantial. II might b."
better to have them built Of concrete -
However. the money Council appro-
rrnteI 10 the department for shelter
booths has merged. and We VIII be un-
able to 60 ahead with our plans until
we get an appropriation.
Council win not be asked for an ap-
preparation until next year. At pres
ont the RUroari of Police is trying TO get
the synchroni,ed traffic system per;art.
and then will take up the matter Of
shelter booths.
