ENRIGHT DISCARDED IT.|" Now He Asks: City to Give} Him $52,000 for New ‘kh Machines. | An application made by the Board f Purchase to the Board of Alder- men Yor $52,000 for Ford automobiles to be used by the Police Department thas caused the men in the depart- Ment to intimate that Commissioner Enright, after four years, is going Back to the methods of his prede- eessor, Commissioner Arthur Woods, which inethods he serapped soon af- fer Mayor Hylan appointed him Po- Nee Comm ssioner. On no other theory can they figure that Commis- BSioner Enright wants $52,000 worth of machines unless it is to go back to the plan for handling hold-ups and taxicab thieves, worked’ out by his Predecessor. The application was to have come up before the Hoard of Al- @ermen yesterday, but was not re- Ported out by the committee, Among the members of the force who have been smarting somewhat because of the criticism due to fre- quent hold-ups, the return to the methods of Commissioner Woods will | be welcomed. Heretofore everythin done by that Commissioner has been undone as much as possible and they fee] that this has been due to an in- | explicable obsession on the part of | Commissioner Enright. At was in 1908 that the first use of @ taxicab was made in the commis- sion of a hold-up. The strike in Oc- tober of that year had brought in as @trikebreakers some pretty tough characters, as chauffeurs, from the Morris Tennenholz, a jeweller, 755 Lexington Avenue, was of a diamond ring. The pair that did it shot him in the abdomen and made their getaway in a taxicab. Tennenholz recovered. The possibilities of the automobile being used extensively by crooks was the subject of a conference between Deputy Commissioner Woods and In- spector McCafferty. They decided the thing to do was to plan to meet the situation at the jump and discourage the use of machines by crooks. Then began the use of machines in the de- partment. WOODS'S GOOD WORK UNDONE BY ENRIGHT. It was in 1914, when Commissioner Woods took charge of the depart- ment, that the motor equipment was increased. Woods's success in keep- ing down the auto thieves was good. ‘When he left the department there was a thoroughly organized motor force for the combating of crime. It ‘was distributed as the judgment and experience of tfe Commissioner and Inspectors ‘ccided. The records of Jan. 2, 1918, show forty-cight autos im the department. Eight ‘of these ‘were seven-passenger cars, three were five-passenger machines, two were work trucks and three runabouts, and thirty-two Ford touring cars. There ‘was one car assigned to the Mayor, and that was the only car not subject to call at any time by the detective of No. Five Ford cars were used by roundsmen in outlying districts for patrol, and eight were used by In- spectors to see that roundsmen on foot were doing patrol work. Eight ‘were assigned to important branches of the detective bureau. Two of the big cars were kept in the garage And were fitted for emergency work. These carried searchlights with weventy-five feet of cord, jimmies for emtering buildings where necessary, @ finger print outfit and anything that experience had shown to be of]; eervice in an emergency. The plan ‘was when « car was needed for d tectives to get into one and “go. There were no Hm es in the de- partmenty and it was not’ an infre- quent thing for the Commissioners to be seen riding to work in the sub- way. Lieutenant Enright was opposed to Commissioner Woods, This was Known, but reporters were surprised on March 5, 1918, when in a talk with them he announced: “ET have just transferred thirty ehauffeurs back to patrol duty. Phere are too many automobiles at- ending to this and that little thing. My God, four years ago there were emly four autos in the department. My God, there are fifty-four now. ZT will dispense with thirty of the machines. Some will be sold and others will be held in reserve.” © That was the ending of the system worked out by Woods and his Inspec tors for checking thugs in the town.
