RATIO OF POLICEMEN
HIGH IN NEW YORK
PatroLmen's Data Seeking
More Pay Clues Figures.

The Committee on Non Partisan Facts
OF the Institute for Public Service, 1925
Amsterdam avenue. issued a statement
last night declaring that New York has
more patrolmen In proportion to the
population than such cities as Chicago,
Detroit. Cleveland. Baltimore and Los
Angeles. The authority for this asser-
ton, the statement says, is the recent
report OF the patrolmen of New York
as presented to the Legislature when
asking for an increase in salaries.
"On page 81 of the policemen's report,
the committee statement says. lit IS
shown for January, 1922. that there was
a policeman in New York for every 563
of the population. In Chicago there was
a policeman for each 734 of the popula-
tion In Baltimore one for each S72, and
in Los Angeles one for each 1.060 people.
'In area covered by patrolmen, only

to cover more than three times the
