cessary, the entire forces of the Pro-

spot; the extension of the criminal
investigation and scientific depart-
ments; a general scheme of superan-
nuation, in which all forces might en-
ter; and greater equipment of educa-
tion and knowledge for the men, giv-
en at a Provincial school—these were
some of the changes in the organiza-
tion of the police forces of Ontario

dressed the Police Association of On-

bers, for judging in the nation-wide

tish Columbia, Quebec and Ontario,
