were allowed to live in areas of their choice, that new applicants for various City

situation unlike other cities who enforced the regulation requiring, particular
police officers, to live within the areas they covered.

that most of the City employees were aware of his opposition to changing the requirement

consideration would be given purely on the basis of what is most beneficial to the
