<br /> 9th - "It is a Well kno%m fa ct among municipal officials, that no de
<br />partments in a ny city's service receive the public's praise or condemnation quicker than the I
<br />Police and Fire Departments. Fire-fighting practices and devices are changing constantly and
<br />most cities are conducting educational classes ma the subject, to better inform thor local
<br />fire departments.
<br /> Laws are being passed constantly which govern the operatmion and ~
<br />
<br />procedures of ~he Police Department, and it is highly Lmportant that the police personnel be
<br />kept currently infoEned on such matters.
<br /> I have g£ven considerable thought to the Police and Fire Depart-
<br />ments in Portsmouth, and I belieVe there is a great need for a trained person to serve as Di-
<br />rector of ~ublic Safety. I should like the City ~ouncil to auMmorize such a position at an ma-
<br />nual salary of $~,500.00 per year.
<br /> If you approve this recommendation, I Fnould like for you to ap-
<br />propriate $750.00 Lu order that this appointment can be made effective November 1st, 1948."
