made by Mayor Albee last night:
"The enforcement of the prohibition of ths great army of vacationists Is
law in Portland will be as rigid as is the Aan of Congressman Taylor of
possible, considering all' conditions.- Colorado. He argues that with the ln
ouch as the comparatively small num- creating coat of summer homes, due to
ber of men in the bureau of police and the exploitation of seaside and snonn
exceptionally large area of territory to , tain places by private owners, ths na
be covered.
To Act Impartially.
"Chief of Police Clark has orders to
enforce, the law fully and impartially
and he has made arrangements ac-
cordingly. It Beems to me regrettable
that it was deemed by the majority of
the members of the city council neces-.
eary to reduce the number of police
men this year, but this was done and
the work must bo forward to the best
pogslble execution with the force at
our command. 1 am confident that the
men Will render faithful service and
that they will Rive a Rood account of
themselves from the start.
"I sincerely hope that the people of
Tortland will assist us in1 the enforce
ment of the law by reporting sus
plcious rlacea or in otherwise, when
within their power, rendering aid m
the form of furnishing evidence neces
sary .to 'the conviction of 'any possiblo
violators of the statute." ;
