No Dark Lantern Work in Leavenworth Police Boards
Leavenworth March 22 report says Governor Lee wants no dark lantern proceedings in city police boards. Monthly reports of all receipts and expenditures must be itemized and open to taxpayers. President Freelingr says the board will follow orders and public records will be available. Since the new board cut patrolmen salaries to fifty dollars monthly, it will hire more officers within the saved funds.
