believe
that
the
talk
of
a

people
on

represented
the
bulk

on

He
believed
that
better

being
done
under
the
present
system
that
could
be
done
under
a

commission.
Aid.
Collart
pointed
out
that
the
cost
of
keep
of
prisoners
and
transportation
had
been
much
less
under
the
provincial
police
during
the
past
two
yean
than
It
had
been
under
city
policing.
This
could
be
only
taken
to
mean
that
the
city
was
In
a
better
moral
condition
U
day
than
it
had
been
before.
Another
advantage
of
the
provincial
system
was
that
officers
could
be
regularly
changed,
whereas,
with
the
city
policing,
there
were
always
the
same
officers.
He
felt
that
changing
of
officers
before
they
became
too
well
acquainted
tendered
to
efficiency
in
police
work.
In
view
of
the
fact
that
costs
of
provincial
policing
had
been
actually
less,
