An increase of over $30,000 is not- 2d in the estimates of the police de- partment compiled today to be sub- mitted to the bourd of finance and ixation for action. The board wili equest an appreopriation of $138,496 with which to conduct the a the department for the coming year, whereas the amount granted for police work last year was $108,275. The amount asked for last year was several thousand in excess of the ap- propriation made by the board of finance and taxation. Items under(the caption of “extras” include a request of $1,000 for re- pairs in the police and city court room, the court office of the judsge and the office of Probatiton Officer E. C. Connelly; an item of $5,475 for the hiring of three additional patrolmen for regular duty, and a third item that will henceforth be a fixed ex- pense of the department, that of $660 as the police commission’s share for the conduct of the municipal garage. The expenses of the garage will be paid, it has been decided by the com- mittee in charge of that enterprise, jointly by those city departments making use of the building. Salary Increases. Salary increases amount to $22,000, that amount including the increased pay for the supernumerary force, which was also affected by the recent grants. Supernumerary policemen will henceforth receive the same pay as officers of the first year grade. The incidental fund is increased from $1,200 to $1.800 and the emer- gency fund from $800 to $1,000.
