CARGO PILLAGING.
PROPOSED POLICE FORCE ..PATROLLING THE WHARVES. Details of the proposed scheme 101* the establishment of a special polios force to suppress cargo pillaging on the, waterfront in Sydney have been, published. It is proposed that members of the force should patrol the wharves. At present it is designed to consist of 22 constables and two detectives, and the cost of maintenance is estimated at between £10,009 and £ll,OOO. The whole of the Sydney wharfage system, extending from Woolloomooloo Bay, would come under the survey of the new force. The big wharves cover between three and four miles of the harbour front, and in this distance there are eleven berths in Wool-' loomoolOo Bay, seven in Circular' Quay. 11 in Walsh Bay, 49 in DarlingHarbour, and 23 in Pyrmont and: Jones Bay. It is considered by some leadingshipping interests'*that to be effective: the force will have to adopt pl airclothes, and in some quarters it is doubted whether the force proposed would be adequate for the large amount of work entailed in the scheme.
