PROTECTION COSTS TOO MUCH

BESIDES BEING

UNNEEDED

Paris, Feb, 28.

The railroads of France have just notified the Surete Nationale

-the Contral Police Foren-that) they are discharging 72 of their .employees.

Tho police officers whom the railroads are able to discharge without having to worry about; whether the police approve or not, are the men whose duty it is to pro vent crime on trains, members of the police, but on the payroll of the railways. The arrangement was mado March 1, 1925, by contract between the railroads and the police, for a torm of five years, and ronowed in 1930. This year the rallways are not renewing it.

They explained to the Surete Nationale:

(a): That their depleted budgets require them to make economies;

(b) That they have an idea they can do better policing themselves:

And (e) that the police should furnish police protection in any ense to the railways na to everyone else without charge.

The police do not comint this last point. But they bewall the fact that notice was not given be fore the budget for the year was up, since now the police depart ment has not the necessary funds to maintain the special department of Railway Police.

Three French railroads alrendy minintain their own police systems in addition to that provided by the Surete Nationale-The State, The North, and the Paris-Orleans ; roads. Others may organise them. The present service coste all the railways put together 1,700,000 francs, which is cheap, considering that the three railways that have their own polico in addition pay from two to four millions cach for that department.
