He was answering sensational charge made by his democratic colleague. Victor Burkus, that there is not sufficient police protection in that section.
 "There is no police protection there whatsoever between the hours of 8 D. m. and a. m.." Burgess Burkus charged. He later admitted the motor partol came up during the night but said the amount of protection they furnished was neg ligible.
 "They only come up about once an hour, are not in the section more than 15 minutes at the most, and after they are gone anything can happen" Spring street has the rep utation of being one of the tough est streets in town, he pointed out, and yet there Is no policeman pat rolling it at night.

Warden DisarrceS

Warden sheridan said he had in- vestigated the situation thoroughly, personally, and said there Is enough protection against burglary, in his opinion. T don't intend to create any new expenditures as far as the police department gocs," he declared. "The people want me to keep the tax rate down and that Is what I entend to do. If need be we will have to rearrange the beats of the present force," he said. He indicated there certainly would not be the appointment of a new rogu- lar cop to partol there.
 Burgess Burkus pointed out that recently there was an accident on Main street and a riot on Spring street. Tt was impossible for the motor patrol to be in both places at the same time," he asserted. "lf we had q regular patrolman he could have taken care of the sltua- ton and tho motor patrol could have attended to the other" He denied any intimation by the war den that three or four new police" men were wanted. He said only one man to do this would benecessary.
 Warden Sheridan reiterated his statement no additional expendi' lures tor such a purpose would be made now, but said he would again look into the situation and if It needs correction, he promised, It will be corrected.
