charge of duty, his dress becomes soiled or disarranged, it shall be put in proper order as soon as circumstances permit.

14. Every officer on duty shall carry a copy of the pocket diary. An umbrella or a cane shall not be carried by any officer when in uniform.

15. Every member of the force and every male employee shall pay his poll tax not later than May 1 in the year immediately following that in which it was assessed.

16. Members of the force when in uniform, whether on duty or not, are forbidden to ride in automobiles other than those owned by the department except when the transaction of specific police business requires such riding.

17.

A member of the force in uniform and in a public place who holds a toothpick in his mouth or chews any substance in such manner as to be noticeable shall be subject to complaint and punishment for conduct unbecoming an officer.

18. When a member of the force has occasion to call the attention of a citizen to the fact that he is violating a law, an ordinance or a regulation, which presumably is not known to all persons, he should not do so by means of a question, such as "Don't you know that that is against the law?" or "Can't you read that sign?" He should inform the citizen, civilly, that his act is unlawful, and if practicable, should explain the reason; this without regard to whether prosecution is to follow or not. A question of this character is the most offensive means of opening such a conversation.

RULE 36.- PAY AND ALLOWANCES.

1. The salary and pay of the police shall be paid to each person entitled thereto, in accordance with prescribed rules and regulations, subject, however, to deductions for absence from duty.

2. No pay for such absences shall be allowed except as expressly provided in these rules.

3. Full pay will be allowed during the regular annual vacation.

4. When a police officer is absent from duty on account of sickness or injury caused by unusual exposure or exertion while on duty, and such sickness or injury is certified to by a reputable physician approved by the commissioner, full pay for lost time may be allowed, at the discretion of the commissioner. It is to be understood, however, that the mere fact that an injury was received while on duty does not necessarily justify the allowance of full pay. A police officer must take the ordinary risks of a citizen, and he is entitled to full pay · only when he suffers an injury while in the discharge of a police duty of a perilous character. A policeman, for instance, while patrolling his route may slip and injure himself without having a just claim for full pay; but should he slip while chasing a criminal or stopping a runaway horse, he would have a claim for consideration.

5. When a police officer is absent from duty on account of ordinary sickness or injury, and such sickness or injury is certified to by a reputable physician approved by the commissioner, half pay for lost time may be allowed, at the discretion of the commissioner, for not exceeding thirty days; but when the sickness ends in death full pay may be allowed, at the discretion of the commissioner, for not exceeding one hundred days lost in the last one hundred and fifty days immediately preceding the death of the officer, provided that it is certified by a reputable physician approved by the commissioner that such lost time was caused by the sickness which ultimately resulted in the officer's death.

6. No pay will be allowed under sections 4 or 5 of this rule if the sickness or injury is feigned, simulated, exaggerated, or arises from carelessness, improper or vicious conduct, excessive indulgence of appetite or other bad habits; or from improper, illegal or immoral practices; or if the sick or injured person shall fraudulently, by concealment, false statement, or otherwise, seek to deceive or mislead the attending physician or

surgeon in relation to his case; or if the member shall not remain at his residence, unless permitted by the commissioner to go elsewhere; or if he refuses or neglects to conform to the instructions of the attending physician or surgeon.

7. Pay for not exceeding three days may be allowed at the discretion of the commissioner during absence from duty to attend funerals, provided the relationship between the decedent and the applicant is that of a father, mother, wife, wife's father or mother, child, brother, sister, or wife's brother or sister. Applicants shall state explicitly the relationship existing between the decedent and the applicant, where the funeral is to take place, and the time and place of interment.

8. Officers detailed to perform duty in other cities or towns, who have been paid for their services and expenses by such city or town, will not be paid by this department for the time they are absent.

9. No police officer or employee shall sell or assign his pay, or give power of attorney for the collection thereof, except by permission of the commissioner.

10. Time rolls shall be made up and forwarded to the chief clerk as follows:

For headquarters and City Prison, weekly, by the superintendent, except that the pay roll for clerks shall be made by the chief clerk.

For employees in the signal service, weekly, by the director of signal service.

For matrons and employees in the house of detention, weekly, by the chief matron.

For officers and employees in the several divisions, weekly, by the commanding officers of such divisions.

Weekly time rolls shall be forwarded on Tuesday of each week, and shall be made up to include the following Thursday; monthly time rolls shall be forwarded on the fifteenth of each month, and shall be made up to include the last day of the month.

Time rolls shall state the number of days each officer or employee has been absent from sickness or other

cause, and be accompanied by physicians' certificates and petitions for pay. Every petition for pay must be accompanied by a statement of the facts in the case.

11. When an officer is transferred from one division to another, the officer commanding the division from which he is transferred shall give him a certificate showing the amount of time he had lost from sickness or other cause, and how much, if any, pay he had forfeited during the current week. The officer commanding the division to which he is transferred shall note on the detail book the time at which he reports for duty, and shall place his name on the time roll for the current week as though he had been a member of the division during the whole week.

12. When a member of the force loses a badge, a revolver or any other property of the department previously entrusted to him for his individual use the deficiency shall be supplied by the property clerk on requisition, and the cost of the article shall be charged to the account of the member. On subsequent petition approved by his commanding officer and the superintendent, the member may be reimbursed whenever it shall appear to the commissioner that the loss was suffered in the actual discharge of duty, without negligence on the part of the loser; and injuries and repairs to similar property in excess of those involved in ordinary use will be treated in like manner. Reimbursement wholly or in part will be allowed under the same conditions to any member of the force whose clothing, whether uniform or plain, is injured or destroyed while making an arrest, while saving life or property, or while engaged in any other duty involving unusual danger or exertion.

RULE 37.- ABSENCE FROM DUTY.

1. No police officer shall be absent from duty except in case of sickness, or during the annual vacation and the legal day of relief under the rules and orders of the department, without the consent of the commissioner or the superintendent.

2. The annual vacation shall be taken in accordance with the terms of general orders issued from time to time by the commissioner.

3. All applications for leave of absence shall be made to the commissioner through the superintendent, and shall set forth the purpose for which such leave is desired. In emergencies the superintendent is authorized to grant leave of absence for a period not exceeding three days, and he shall report such leave forthwith to the commissioner.

4. When a police officer is injured or sick, so that he is unfit for duty, he shall immediately report to his commanding officer. Should he be unable, on account of such disability, to report in person, he shall send word to the station house as soon as possible, and the commanding officer shall immediately investigate the case. When an officer is absent from duty for a longer period than forty-eight hours on account of disability, his commanding officer shall investigate and report the facts to the commissioner, and reports shall be made weekly during the continuance of such disability. When an officer becomes sick during his tour of patrol duty he shall at once report to his station house, or to his sergeant.

RULE 38.- REWARDS, GIFTS.

1. No police officer shall accept a present from men under his command, and no police officer shall contribute or solicit another police officer to contribute to a present or reward intended for a member of the force, unless specifically authorized by the commissioner. Any such present or contribution made to a member of the family of a police officer, either directly or indirectly, unless so authorized, shall be deemed a violation of this rule. No police officer shall allow the use of his name at any fair, festival or exhibition, for the purpose of selling tickets, setting up or promoting a raffle or gift enterprise, or having a present voted to him.

2. Police officers shall not collect money, or receive anything else from citizens or others for the purpose of
