Chief King was responding to a question from Mayor Deb', Shewfelt who told the com- 24, mission he had heard a number of complaints from ratepayers about incidents of vandalism. Mayor Shewfelt said the East an4Kingston street areas seemed to be • suffering the. most: Chief King told the meeting that there had been a number of reports of broken windows and other damage resulting from thrown - stones, bricks, sling shot attacks and even a hurled gas cap. He added that the grandstand area had also been the scene of such ac- tivities. One business premise on the Square also suffered a broken window, it was noted. Chief King told the com- missioners that such van- dalism was difficult to prevent. There was ap- OPP get new unifornit greater flexibility. It features a pleated back, giving the officer a greater ease of movement. The Sam Browne Belt will be worn under the jacket rather than on top, with areas cut away at the bottom of either, side for the officer's gun holster and handcuff pouch. The jacket will be worn for work purposes only, with the Commissioner H.H. Graham of •the Ontario Provincial Police is pleased to announce that during April the public will begin to see inrembers of the OPP in a new all -season uniform.

The unleaded fuel would mean somewhat higher fuel costs for the Department, however, as the Police have traditionally used fuel from the town pumps and those tanks only provide leaded fuel. The commission decided to study further the wisdom of continuing with leaded fuel or asking for a new tender to supply unleaded fuel for the new cruiser. In other business the commission accepted a tender to .sup,ply footwear from Ross Shoes at $30.00 per pair. (plus provincial`' sales tax). This tender will supply each officer with either two pair of boots or shoes (his preference) during the next year.
