THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TTED VETO A T, A liftjwr m. !7. TWO STATIONS FOR ITS POLICE" Chief Turner Declares En largement of Force a Neeessitv. "It ta nimply Irnp'WdlMo to prevent Climes such as that of this morning until a reformation Is made in Fulton county," stated C’hlet Turner, of the county police, Wednesday morning he was discussing the ussault by negro on a woman at Hattie Hill earlier in the day. "Until the people of this county vote to have two headquarters, one In the south i^nd the other In the north of the county. It wl)l % be Impossi ble for the county police to do the work which the public expects of them. “Two headquarters, with men on duty night and day. would give the county such protection that crimes like that of this morning would be almost un heard of, because the police would he on the spot at once. And the expense would be no greater than at present, because with the added protection to their wives and daughters the farmers would be perfectly w tiling to pay a lit tle more taxes. “Another necessary Improvement which should he made for the protec tion of the county farmery Is the pur chase of a pair of blood hounds. I do not believe that those available In this county are worth their salt, when It comes right down to tracking negroes. If a cat Is run across the dogs are not satisfied until they have chased her up • tree, and It Is the same with rabbits or other animats. The county does not pay out h rent for these dogs, and, of course, can not expect much from them. What the county commlsslon- # era should do Is to pay $500 or so for * a pair of blooded dogs and keep them trained to hunt criminals. Until this Is done we are under a serious handi cap, and It Is really surprising that we do os well as we have In the past."
