Move Quarters
OF Police Force
To Barq Building

The Pascagoula police depart
ment headquarters has been
moved to the Barq building on
Ker street following the leasing
of a portion of the building by
the city of Pascagoula for one
year.
The leasing of the new head
quarters for the police depart
ment followed recommendations
made to the mayor and city coun-
ell by the newly appointed po-
lice commission.
Holding of city police court in the
new building was being held up
awaiting a ruling from the states
attorney general on the validity
of the move. State laws prohibit
the holding of city police courts
in other than municipal build
ings, and it was undecided
whether or not. with the city
holding a lease, the new head
quarters would qualify as a mu-
nicipal building.
Expansion of city business
both in the police department
and in the city clerks office, ne
seccitated the move. The new
headquarters will give the police
department room to install neces-
sary files and operate efficiently.
Police Chief Farmer said. and at
the same time a portion of the
city clerks business, particularly
the gas and water departments,
can be shifted to that space in
Firemen's Hall vacated by the
