A material addition to the police
force of the city occurred one day
last week when Mrs. J. F. Costello,
wife of the efficient head of the
department, presented him with a
healthy pair of boys. The popular
chief walked on air for several days
and received hearty congratula-
tions from his many friends and
acuuaintances. Chief Costello says
he does not expect the husky lads
to go on the beat with him right
away, but intimates that it will not
be long before they will be able to
give a good account of themselves.
The same day that Chief Costello's
boys were born, a daughter ar
rived at the home of Mike
Schwartz, night policeman. It's a
fine girl, says Officer Schwartz, and
everybody connected with the affair
is feeling well and happy.
