Contrary to the situation In years past, when the police department was flooded with applications, for Jobe on the force, the department Is finding It difficult In’ obtain policemen. It has now been found necessary to resort to the unusual procedure of soliciting for policemen through, the medium of the advertising columns of the newspapers. What hn*'caused thlp sudden lack of police fnatertal Is a matter of con jecture, but It Is believed that the gen eral scarcity of labor throughout the South Is uffectlng the police depart ment. It la also thought that the civil service examinations may have some- thing to do with the sortage. At the first examination, when seventeen men tried for Jobs on the force, only four were successful. Since that time, how ever, Ihe city council has reduced the required average from 70 to 60 per cent and those applicants who mnde more than BO per cent on the first ex amination were given Jobs.
