Bvanston has twenty-one policemen to a population of approx- imately 80,000, or about one to^ every 1,430 inhabitants. During the winter months the de- partment is able to take care of the city to gooof shape with the present force, t: But to the summer, when the complaints about dogs are numerous and there is considerable labor con- nected with the enforcement' of the dog ^license law, and when toe guardians of the city have to look out for the speeders; who make Bvanston a race track, the Inadequacy of the small force is felt. When any of the men are sick or on a vacation, or have to go down to the city on business} for4he-department,4t4nean» that the rest of the force, have to shoulder the extra work. It la not an uncommon sight to see the hard-working chief, Shaffer, doing sergeant duty because it has been necessary to send one of those officials out on special business. It is fortunate that Bvanston Is aiWr- iy law-ebiding city "or our police de> partment would have more- than: they could core for.
