Sa
Portland Is without adequate police
protection. Lnleaa 100 patrolmen can
be added to the department no im
provement in the crime situation can
b expected. To make matters worse,
the city lacks money and is unable
to Incrcasa its revenue by added tax
This condition Is admitted by Mayor
I-akrr. who says that the raisins; vf
SI 50.000 by popular subscription to
Improve the police department looms
as the only possible solution of the
problem.
At the present time there are only
:7 patrolmen In the Portland police
bureau. From his personnel must be
selected desk men. traffic officers and
men for special duties. Those re
maining are placed on beats.
Task Rather Large Oae.
At times recently there have been
as few as II men on the first night
relief. Portland covers 6 square
miles. The problem of properly pa-1
ironing- such a city with a force of
Ir.ia than 50 men seems a difficult one
to the mayor.
"Even with the handicap under
which the police department is work
ins." said Mayor Baker, "it is proving
efficient. There Is less crime in Port
land by two-thirds than In any other
city of its siie in the United States,
and I am willing: to allow a commit
tee of any kind to check on these
figures.
The police bureau Is every bit as
emcieni as couiu De expected with
the number of men in the department.
I intend to ask the council for men.
but I know the city has no money
available fur any increase. If the
council cannot furnish more men I
will ask the people to subscribe a
fund of IU0.000 to pay for 100 ad
ditional men in the police department
lor one year.
Farce Seriously Short.
"A check shows that under exist
ing conditions, if everv man In th
department were available, we would
have but 70 patrolmen on each relief.
But with daya off. men on the desks,
and .vacations to which all men in the
department are entitled after one
ear's service, we have as few as 60
men."
Strikes and other unusual events
In the daily life of the city, the mayor
explained, drew on the department for
police officers. Several weeks ago as
many as 100 men were on strike duty.
Whenever It is necessary to furnish
police officers for special events, men
must be taken from, beats now pa
trolled by the minimum number.
When discussion of the police sit
uation was directed to the attention
of members of the city council yes
teraay, city commissioner Barbu
spoke In favor of calling a special
election to ask the people to vote
additional money for the conduct of
city atfairs.
Relief Held Xeeeasary.
"We asked the people to vote a two-
mill levy and the proposal was de
leated." said Mr. Barbur. "We have
no money in the treasury to relieve
the situation. The condition exists
nd is dally becoming more acute.
Some relief must be obtained and I
believe we should go to the people
ana ass, tor more money."
