letter, which was read at last nights meeting of the board of po- lice commissioners, is as follows:
 After a careful check up we find that our police protection in the vii cinity of our bank is rather made quate and it would seem now that more protection is needed than heretofore due mostly to our new bank as well as for the protection ,, of storekeepers at this end of the town and we are writing you to use your influence, if possible. in pro- curing for us patrolman, who might devote his entire time to our particular corner.
 May we not have your ideas in this matter?"
 With the appointment of another patrolman, arrangements will be made, it is understood, to cover beat No. 16, which would provide for protection in the vicinity of the North Side Bank x Trust company between the hours of p. m. and a. m.

The Do- lice board last night expressed the ] time could be materially improved upon and it will be the new ser geants duty to make suggestions when his investigation is con- { pleted.
