Mayor to police city with specials despite council delays
Mayor Steely reorganizes police coverage naming four special officers alongside the chief. Specialists will work nine hours daily at two per shift, with a single officer on duty from 4 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. The plan, opposed by a council that rejects a regular force, cites a minor monthly cost increase and calls for future force expansion. Officers named are Charles Poppleton, R. A. Van Oram, W. Siherweed, and J. F. Ford.
