City
Council
last
night
ratified
the
signing
of
a
new
agreement
with
the
provincial
police
covering
policing
of
the
city
for
1947
at
cost
of

an
in
crease
of
$2,400
annually
over
the
contract
which
had
been
in
effect
since
1943.
The
aldermen
authorized
the
Mayor
and
City
Clerk
to
sign
the
agreement
after
the
police

had

with
Police

'
A

was
requested
by
the
provincial

last
fall
on
grounds
that

greater

However,
the
boost
from

clause,"
declared
Alderman

"It
