Resolution opted On 
 Committee Fovors
 Aiding Policemen
 on ExnaneAs
on Expenses

The city will provide patrolmen and regular officers with uniforms If c resolution passed at a special meeting of the Police Board pur- chasing committee is approved by the Board of Aldermen. The appro- priation will become effective January l. l04e.
 The measure also provides that each Supernumerary policeman pur- chase his own first complete uni- form, but renewals would be pro- vided out of city funds.
 The Board Of Police CommiS- slonerS was also asked by the pur- chasing committee to include In It's annual budget an amount sufficient to cover uniform costs.
 Police departments in several other Connecticut cities provide uni- form allowances for police, 1t was reported, and the uniform of New York'S Finest" practically identical to that Of the Waterbury Police Department, Is provided for by the City ot New York.
 The cost of c Police Uniform including necessary extra pair of pants, several pairs of shoes, an oVercoat, and the brass buttons which the men themselves are forced to pay for, amounts to a rather high priee-$i46 to Sl60-and this figure excludes the brass buttons,
 Several years ago suits were pro- vided by the city for the plain clothesnlen, but that Is not the case today.
 The general impression gleaned from conversation with several members of the force Is that; The provision of uniforms by the city would be ar extremely good measure" but perhaps, "too good to be true"
