The Town Manager presented a letter from Mr. A. H. Walker, outlining
a proposal to furnish a police service to the Town. There aws a
lengthy discussion of the subject from all angles and as an abstract
question everyone was of the opinion that some form of police pro-
tection would be a great advantage.
The discussion indicated that the added cost would require between
a. half mill and three quarters of a mill in taxes on the present tax
roll. Also discussed were related questions such as creation of a
court, appointment of a judges need for a jail and many related
inc id end al s .
After much discussion, by general agreement, the commissioners de-
