M. .Myers, asking support in'furtherance of a proposal for. the appointment of women police. Mr. Myers replied that he w.ould confer with the-Hon. A. L. Herdman about it. Personally, he thought it highly desirable that' women should be appointed-with power to deal with certain phases of life touched upon by the speakers. :Ho could not, however, : support any proposal that such women 'police be given the power of ordinary policemen. He would not approve, for instance, of their arresting a man.

Tlie work of women police would be supplementary to that of the existing Force.
