Police Protection May Be Sought, Supt. Sallee Threatens.
City Park Supt. A. C. Sallée said
today that he will make a plea for police supervision of parks in the near future following a recurrence of vandalism last night. Mr. Sallee said that he had, on several past. occasions, asked the police department for assistance, but the method seemed unsatisfactory. He indicated that plans were being made for a separate park police force of eight men. He said that in view of the thousands of dollars damage that is being done by vandals the expense of a separate force would be justified. No item for expenditure for a separate park police force is incladed in the 1937 city budget. Chief Morrissey said that a lack of sufficient police has handicaped him in supervising the parks but that general orders to patrol parks
