-In my estimate for conducting the

a muchffeded Increase in the numeri
cal strength of the department, and If
this procedure would cause me to re
ceive a leas number of men or If It
will reduce the wages or lengthen the
hour of the men. I do not approve of
It. otherwise I would recommend that
It be passed, provided that It be
amneded to read 'patrolmen and all
other employee of the police depart

The police vacation question came up
bejor the wsys and meana committee
at Its meeting yesterday afternoon, but
no action waa taken on it- Councilman
Daly insisted that every man Is en
titled to one day off a week, and aald
he does not believe the needs of society
require any citizen to work seven days
a week.
Councilman Burgard said If the sala
ries were fixed on the basis of men
working seven days a week, they should
not be given six days a week at the
same salary. Councilman Menefee said
there are no funds available for em
ploying extra men. Councilman Wal
lace declared he did not think the re
quest for two days off a month origin
ated with the men.
Acting Chief Slover asserted that tha
only way he could comply with such a
provision would be to let balf the force
off one Sunday and half the next. Ha
aald he believed tha result would be
that crimes would be committed Sun
days by criminals that they might avoid
detection.
