Mr. Hutchinson reported that some of the residents of Bloomfield Street believe that at least one of the Police Officers should be taken off the night force and placed on duty at the Munroe School. The accident recently occuring to Mrs. Harold Hall' s boy caused unrest to the mothers of children in the neighborhood and they felt that something should be done for sufficient protection. It was stated by the School Committee that the janitors could not have time to leave their duties for one hour and look after the children. The Supt. of Public works stated that he did not believe the force large enough at the present time to do anything, but if suf- ficient amount is appropriated next year they might have the police protection. The matter was left with the Supt. of Public Works to work out with the Chief of Police some way to give the protection needed for the rest of the school term. Meeting adjourned at 11:30 P. M.
