TION, Burgiars keep abead ef safemakers, Bowmanville bank burglary is the talk of hunan cial circles, Bankers look upon recent burgiaries witb cousiderable alarm. Bank burgla.ry epidemnics are due in Canada about eveiy ten years. Ten vears and 20 years ago Canada had a series of bank burglaries. Detectives in big cities soon learu ot the arrivai in Canada of noted crooks. Managers et banks trequently receive notice that suspicions uharacters are beading' lu thlii direction. Bankers blame municipal authorities for inadequate police protection. Should tewns pav more for the pro- tection of banks than is necessary for the rest ef the town? _t owns cannet maintain a big force for watching bankssoeç Better meaus should be provided la every town for alarming citizens. liebberics are as earefailyplanned as a business man plans his business. Burgiars kuow the town, building, policemen, character ef safe-ail abou't what te doîbeforc, they attempt te rob a bank. Organizatien for emergencies should exist lu cvery tewn se that persous hearing an unusual distarbance cau r.aise an alarm. Tt was recents- demenstrated that by taking a goed sîzed piece et wood and givîng a c ouple et vigorous jabs at the lock the hoîts were thrown back and the cash lay within the operator's reacli, J. V. Care, the Chicago banker, says at least ten et the Chicago banks are equipped as -%as the one just r 'eferred te, and that millions could be secured bv auyone gettiug- access te the vanîts, But while this is true, it must be ad- mitted that the time lock forms at least a portion et au ail round pretectien,and helps te bring the danger te a minimum. -Daily IL rald. In addition te the flrst-class sate, tbe best et electric protection is nsed bY the more important institutions la cities. A ý%vatchman is engaged by the bank and if ho is a man te be trusted, can eight eut et ten times do more te save a bank from robbery than anything else. A deg on the promises is aise groatly te bc desirod. Then there le the time lock, but thîs did net save. The banks as a ruie take cver.v pro- caution possible.
