al people during the summer months, as well as increased number
from Mayport base that we need policeon duty 24+ hours a day.

authorized to hire and set the hours for a night policeman from
now through September 15th, 1956.

and other pertinent information need to be on file here at the Town

ments relative to reports , etc. and advise the Fire Chief and Town
