They should be paid by THE CITY, and not by any private interests. If the emergency is such that extra precautions are needed by the city, then the extra expense is a necessary result. The city is only inviting need- less trouble and worry by allowing its officers of the peace to be dependent upon the good will of an y private concerns.
