The appointment of a provincial man for Kingston and district, will be greatly appreciated. At the press ent time, Frontenac county has a police force of one member--a high county constable. There has been a great deal of trouble throughout the county over thefts, and it has been impossible to cope with the situation. The appointment of a man from the provincial force should be a great help to the city police, as thers is great need of co-operation between the gity and the county.

A warning is issued by the presi- dent of the Burglary Underwriters' Association of Canada, regarding persons claiming to be insurance in- spectors. The notice states:-- "It has come to our knowledge that certain persons have been cal- ling at résidences, claiming to repre- sent burglary insurance companies, and asking to inspect the premises, making enquiry particularly as to where jewellery, furs and other valu- ables are located. "The public are advised under no circumstances to allow any person to inspect their property without first | making absouletly sure that they are | properly authorized and seeing their | credentials, as it is thought that sus- | | picious characters may be using this | | means to gain advance knowledge of premises they intend to burglarize."
