BOftCHESTER, MASS. NO NEAR-BEER FOR THE COPS IMPORTANT ORDER I88UED TO THE POLICE FORCE YESTERDAY MORNING BY MAYOR MILLER. actino recorder. While acting reorder yesterday morning Mayor Millar, In open court, instructed Chief of Police Westeott to include near-beer In the ltat of drtnka forbidden officer* when on duty. Thl* order wu prompted by the evi dence in a case where an omcer went Into a toft drink establishment and obtained a glass of near-beer. The mayor asked the officer if this as not forbidden by the regulations governing the police force, end the of ficer replied that It was not. An examination of the rules relating to officers In this respect shows thai under a recent deoiaion of th* court of appeals and according to ans opinion expressed by th* mayor on the bench yesterday morning in another case, the regulations fully cover near-beer. Rule 10 says: "Police officers and men are strictly forbidden to enter any public barroom or drinking room, except in the discharge of their duty, while wearing their uniform or any part thereof. Rule 1! saya: "All members of the force while in uniform or wearing any part of uni form, either on or off active duty, are prohibited from drink, ing any intoxicating drinks. Near-beer has been declared Intox icating by the court of appeals and therefore comes tinder th* head of the intoxicating drinks referred to In the rule. This will be news to the police offi cers, for the reason that they have considered near-beer as a soft drink and were of the opinion that they could drink it the same an they could go into a place and drink a glasa of •odawater. k As a soft drlnkery is a drinking room, hereafter the police cannot en ter the soft drinker!es except In the discharge of their duty. If the police have been violating this rule, it wse evidently don* under a misapprehension. * But In future they cannot enter a •oft drlnkery, or take a glass of near- beer, except in the capacity of a citi zen. ‘Vulcanite”' ls.lhntRoofinfi oN r frS MERITS) long ago won fof Itself ’the repu tation of being the Best Ready Roofing known.
