M OO AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION . . . the Matter of Policing POLICE or city police, if it comes down to a choice between PROVINCIAL the two forms of maintaining law and order within the corporate limits, will raise a first class issue for local discussion. The question of cost may well be a decisive factor. The commissioner of British Columbia police has suggested to the city council that, in view of rising costs, it may be necessary to charge the city more for the service when the time for renewal of the present agreement expires. One answer to this, of course, would 'be to reduce the police service now being given and thus reduce the cost, Whether or not the city, by embarking upon its own policing, would be able to give service comparable with that provided by the provincial police would be a matter of speculation into which many factors some quite hypothetical would enter. Whether the personnel could be obtained at idl at a reasonable cost the provincial police is not noted for the high wages it pays is another question. There would also be the expenses incidental to setting up a complete new police organization The city would be expected to take all these factors into consideration with tfre same attitude of meticulous economy which it exercises in other matters due to the fact that its financial resources are so limited. There may be a more or less unreasoned feeling abroad that the form of city policing might well be due for a change. Against this should be fairly weighed consideration of whether, by and large over a period of some twentv-five years now, the city has not received good policing from the British Columbia force. The big argument in favor of city policing is the more direct control the municipality has over a department which none can deny its has every right to control. On the other hand, there is., nothing to indicate that, if the city was not satisfied at any time with the way the provincial force was carrying on its duties, recourse wouldr not be readily available and necessary changes made. Against any advantages that .might accrue from straight city policing, it would be well not to forget that there would be certain problems, difficulties and possible distasteful unpleasant-ries at times. - It is easy to say that it is time for a change but it might not be so easy, even if we may not be altogether satisfied with what we are get.ing now, to establish without doubt that we would be any better off if the change were made. The Daily News makes that statement, realizing that this paper itself has in the past, when the occasion appeared to justify it, criticized the policing of the city by the province. About all we can suggest now is that the matter.' of policing be considered from a business-like and realistic 'standpoint. The service we will get is all a matter of conjecture. No one can say whether we would get better service by assuming the complete jurisdiction of policing in our own autonomy Or continuing to let the contract for policing as we have been doing for so long now. The issue involves to some extent the old question of whether it is imro economical and efficient to do a job by day labor1 or contract. Much depends upon the kind of labor we are able to get or the kind of contractor. In policing, at least, we are fairly well acquainted with our contractor. If we made'a change, we would have to take a-chance, on the, .kind of labor we would be able to employ. We mighY or might not be justified in taking the chance. let down these people by indulging in unseemly or wanton acts; If those who would play tricks would think about what they are doing and do as they would be done by there may be no fear of anything untoward happening. If every person, young and old, would be his awn policeman for the night and no one sneaks around surreptitously doing uncalled lor or unpleasant acts out of sheer sneaky vandalism, it will be an evening of good-natured fun for all.
