A pair of bloodhounds, to cost not more than $300, are to be added to the detective force of Nassau County to aid in the capture of burglars. The county supervisors voted Monday to supply the canines to Sheriff Joseph H. Foster, who asked for them.
Tbe county at present has only one regular detective, Phineas A. Seaman, who is attached to the district attorn¬ ey's office. This is the same number as when the county was established, over ten years ago. The county has grown rapidly and burglaries have like¬ wise multiplied.
Attempts to capture the knights of the jimmy have, in numerous in¬ stances, been unsuccessful, and it" is believed the bloodhounds will be valu¬ able aids to the service.
