Henry Halpin Is Expected to Be the Next in Long List of Officers Who Will Have a Chance to Go Voluntarily. Another of the Old Guard of the po- Uce force retired to-day. Inspector , John H. Grant, who has worn the unt- form for thirty-seven years, handed ‘his resignation to Commissioner Part- ridge. It was accepted. Inspector Grant will draw a pension of $1,758 a year.
