• This unique.. advertisement Is being
.Inserted In the Atlanta newspapers by
the police department and tells a re
markable story.
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.
No Applicsnts.
There are now no applications on file

The meeting gives promise of being an
Interesting one.
The three restrictions now proposed
are; The Increasing of the retaj)
licenses to not less than $2,000 and of
the wholesale license to not less than
$1,000; the examination as to character
and ability of all applicants for
licenses; the prohibition of all beer
saloons In either the white or colored
residence sections of the city.
It Is highly probable that these re
strictions will be recommended, only
the licenses may be Axed even higher.
Other restriction* may he added.
It Is stated that the last two restric
tions are atready on the statute books,
but have not been rigidly enforced.
