WHISTLES BLOW
 LAST TOOT-TOOT
Police Board Bids Auto- matic Devices
 Goodbye
SEEKS REINSTATEMENT

The automatic whistling traffic lights that caused considerable commotion among autoists' here during the past several weeks have been silenced, probably for good according to a report given at yes- terday's meeting of the board of police commissioners.
 Commissioner Michael Noonan brought up the question asking when the time limit for their trial here expired. Chairman Harry Minor said their operation was stopped over a week ago and that there was no specified time for their trial here. The traffic com mittee was instructed to report as to what should be done with them. Several comments made by the board members indicate they would not be whistling again be- cause it was felt the noise impeded rather than assisted traffic.
 An application for reinstatement was received from former Patrol man Clarence Wheeler who resign ed in 1923. The application was placed on file. He was charged with being asleep on duty when he resigned.
 The board also placed on file the application of James R. Wagner, Jr, son of Lieutenant James Mag ner, to be made a supernumerary policeman. The board received and referred to the committee on rules and regulations, applications for pensions from Mrs Mary V. Dowl- ing, widow of Sergeant John Dowl- ing, and Mrs Mildred E. Hickey, widow of Lieutenant Timothy Hickey.
 The following were granted leaves of absences: Albert Lacey october 1 to 21; Daniel Namack July 15 to August IS: Charles Hurlburt, July to 25; Michae F: Carroll, August 20 to September 9, and Joseph McEvoy, August 1T to September 5. These represent the authorized days off each month that the patrolmen have been sav- ing up for a year.
