ing that the policemen and f1remen

trict of Columbia, unless they resided
out of town before the bill was passed

The members stated that If the po-
licemen and firemen were paid by the

could see no reason why they should
not pay taxes here. instead OF to an
adjoining State.
The body went on record as favor
ing the erection of a police school for
the policemen and policewomen OF
the District, at a cost of 100000, to

necessity of the establishment OF a
