Along with the addition of two more men to the force; a rear rangement will be made which will put three more men on night duty than there are at present, the Mayor said.

These steps will be taken as a measure of great er protection to property in the city and are expected to counter act tne activities ot motor car bandits and "local talent" house breaKers who have had a fair measure of success in the present undermanned condition of the po lice force. Will Increase Efficiency The addition of a night motor cycle otticer should result the apprehension of more night prow' lers and housebreakers, members of the commission think. The presence of a motorcycle man on the day force makes it possible to answer day calls promptly in emergencies, but there is greater need for quick action at night. Some years ago, Mayor Kreeck said there was tio Iowa levy for a sinking fund. The commissioners are at present building up the sinking fund, covering in part what should have been provided by former levies, to meet the demands which will be made upon it by city bonds that will mature in a short time.

This accounts for the increase in the levy for the sinking fund. PATASONI HAD INJURED ANKLE Letter Received at Haskell Throws Light on Failure to Place at Antwerp The failure of Amesoli Pata-soni to place in the 1,000 meter race at Antwerp in the Olympic games may have been due to injuries received while training aboard the ship enroute for Europe. A letter written just before the games by Patasoni has been received by Superintendent Peairs. Patasoni said in his letter that he had hurt his ankle and was doubtful whether he would be able to enter the race. According to his letter the coaches were making an effort to get him in shape but his ankle refused to mend.

As the letter was written before the races, it was not looked upon at Haskell as an "alibi."
