Detective Added to Police Force – December 28, 1896
Many projects were referred to the incoming Council; however they approved a 6 ft walk be laid on the South Side of Seaton Street (Hastings) from Burrard St to Jervis St, “to give the work to the most needy man in the Ward able to do the work.” Council established the job category of Detective at $80 per month, and approved purchase of six rain coats for the police force.
