The motorcycle which he now uses. it was explained could not be used during the winter and the board wanted 10 acquire a small car in which he could travel extensively all the year round.
 A new coach will be purchased for Use or Traffic Sergeant Aldie Bre- ault during the daytime and for use on the new outlying beat at night The new outlying patrol will prob ably be covered by Officer James Burns, who will not be able to do motorcycle work this winter.

The mayor was authorized to pur- chase the new machine.
