Members ct the city police force

the report this morning that after all

proximately $1,000. The program,

swelling the fund.
With overcoats costing in the

will leave a smnll balance which will
probably be used for other articles Of

that the funds in the treasury would

would bear. AS tcphow low a rate he
could make without handling the traf-
