FORMER PATROLMAN IS
NOW TOWN CONSTABLE

TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 3O:-
Policemen upon retiring from the
police department of the city of
New York after twenty-five years
service seeking other vocations have
entered upon various duties such as
becoming private detectives. watch
men, special officers in banks and
bonding houses. while others have
gone up the state to become farm
ers. Patrolman Charles F. Hall,
retired from the Sixtieth precinct
station, T%ottenville, several months
ago. is in the class of the latter.
When his time was up Charley made
application for retirement and his
wish was granted at once by Com
missioner Enright and the former
patrolman with his family. who re-
sided at Huguenot Park, moved to
Erieville, N. Y, where he purchased
a farm. This was in the early part
of April.
Erieville like most of the small
towns in the Catskills where it is
situated, has no police force. but
instead the guardian of the peace
Is a constable who rules with an iron
hand. Residents of Erieville on
learning that Charley was a New
York 20 who had come into their
midst, called a meeting of the town
council and unanimously decided to
make him chief of the staff of con-
stables of the place. Charley has
accepted the post and has been pre-
scented with a gold star, according to
word received here from that place.
Letters of congratulations are al
ready being forwarded from his old
comrades here still on the Job at the
local precinct.
