therefore recommend the folowing increase
of salaries. Patrolmen to be increased to $90.00
per m onth. Lieutenants to be fixed at $100.00 per
month. Captains to be $115.00 per month.
I would also recommend the creation of a
Detective Department to be under the immediate
control of a Chief of Dectives who will
receive orders from and be subordinate to
the Chief of Police. The salary of the
Cheif of Dectives to be fixed at $125.00 per
month and the salaries of subordinate
Detective Officers be $100.00 per month.
I submit these recommendations to the
consideration of you honorable body
withfull confidence that should it
meet with your approval and support
it would not only have a salutory effect
on the discipline if the force, but greatly
increase its efficiency.

ex Chief of Police.
