At police court at Sudbury on Monday, Jimmy Pritchard, former truck driver for Wright‘s Delivâ€" ery at Sudbury, pleaded guilty to conâ€" verting $753 of his employers‘ money to his own use, and also to giving false information to the police. The false information was to the effect that he had been slugged and rocbbed. On the charge of converting the money illeâ€" gally to his own use, he was sentenced to three months definite, while for givâ€" ing the false information to the police he was given two months, this latter sentence, however, to run concurrently with the threeâ€"month term. In addition the man will have to serve another nine months if restitution of the $753 is not made. In making the sentence as lenâ€" lient as three months the court was considering that restitution should be made. Both charges were the outcome of what was first reported by Pritchard to be a holdup, near the Coronation Club on.the Copper Cliff road, on Januâ€" ary 7, when he told police he was slugged over the head by two men a‘nd his wallet containing $200 stolen from him. After constant questioning and inâ€" vestization by provincial police officers, and Jos Mulligan, of the McKim townâ€" ship police, Pritchard broke Saturday morning, January 8, and admitted the holdâ€"up was faked by himself to cover a shcortage in his cartage collections. Pritchard was originally charged with converting $297, but a check revealed the shortage to be $753. The charge was altered in court Monday morning. Pritchard told police at first that he was slugged and left on the road, but later admitted throwing himself to the ground and rendering himself unconâ€" scious by the fall.

P. Downey, are also included. An increase in the present strength to twentyâ€"four, installation of traffic lights, additional street lights in cerâ€" tain sections of the town, thirtyâ€"minâ€" ute parking in the busy downtown area, a heated garage for police cars and the adoption of a set of rules and regulaâ€" tions to govern the force, were the recommendations contained in the anâ€" rual report of Chief Constable Leo H. Gagnon to the Timmins Police Comâ€" mission at their inaugural meeting held here Monday night. The complete report, which outlines The complete report, which outlines in detail the above recommendations and a recapitulation of various offences investigated ard prosecuted, appears herewith. Rs:commendations (a) The Police Department has never had a set of rules and regulations for the information of members of the force. I think that suchn a set should be prepared and adopted as soon as pessible so that officers, in carrying out their duties, would know exactly what is required of them. (b) It is further desirable that the streets of the town be as well lighted as possible, and although improveâ€" ments in that respect have recently been carried out there are still a numâ€" ber of streets in the town which should be better lighted. This would, I beâ€" lieve, have a very definite effect in the prevention of certain classes of ofâ€" fences and would also be of assistance to the force in the apprehension of ofâ€" fenders. (c) Motor traffic is becoming a very| definite problem in the town and I’ think that "Stop and Go lights" should | be installed at the corners of ’I‘hir(l‘ avenue and Pine street and Third aveâ€" nue and Cedar street; Pine street should be made a through street; Kirby avenue from Pine street to Mountijoy | should be made a through street, (d) Parking rules should be altered to provide for thirty minute parking in the area bounded by Spruce street, Second avenue, Balsam street and Fourth avenue with the exception of the east side of Spruce street and the south side of Second avenue between Pine and Cedar. and to provide that no trucks may be parked on the streets of the town after seven p.m. unless in use. In this connection proper parkâ€" ing signs hanging from poles should be in stalled. ng signs nanging Irom poies snould D in stalled. (e) A heated garage should be pro vided for police cars and would, I be lieve,. result in some saving. (f) The present force is insufficient for the needs of the town. There should be at least one officer for every one thousand of population which â€" would bring the strength up to twentyâ€"four. If this were done a permanent moralâ€" ity squad could be established to deal with liquor, gambling and vite and the establishment of such a squad is very desirable.
