PRIVATE ESCORT PATROLS
CHECKING SUBURBAN CRIMES.
MELBOURNE DEMAND INCREASING.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Rec. 10 p.m. Melbourne, July 14. The prevalence of suburban robberies and assaults on women has led to the formation of private patrols composed of unemployed returned soldiers, who for a small fee protect homes during the absence of the householders and will provide escorts for women returning home at night, meeting them at trains or trams. The demand for these men’s services is increasing in many suburbs.
