District Attorney's Office Would Op¬ erate Station Cn Twenty-Four Hour Schedule — Communities Have Agreed To Install Receiving Sets In   Police   Cars
A request for the puirehiase and In¬ stallation of a sh'jrt-wiave jiolice radio brixidcastlng station was miwle to M'lintgdtmery County Commissioners l.ast week by .District Attijrney Fred B.  Smllllle.
Mr. Smilie has .also llled with Coun¬ ty Oon'troller Willlaim C. Irvln, a nor¬ mal legal opinion In whieh he sup- tiorts Ills belief ihat the pui'Ohiase can be legally made.
In the request to the coimanlssloners, Smilie estimates Uhe cost of the pro¬ ject iilt $7,500 'to $8,000 for the inatal- la.ilin of the transmitting unit, and states that hook-uii will lie "virtually One hundred percent offootivo in all parts oi the county."
This opinion is based on the sup¬ port pledged the move by the Chiefs of I'l-liee Assooiation of Montgomery county, the 'momb6i'.-i of which liave stated thiat aill their re.'ipective com- muniltles would finance the Installa¬ tion 'Of receiving sets in police cars and  poliKse steitlons.
Tthe district attorney indicated, in his appeal fl';r the radio, his Intention of having it operated "frum anu by" his offlce in the county court Iiouse at Norristown. His propo.sal Is to have four men assigned to it, one of whom shall be a relief man, and the 'jtliers to work lin thi-ee shifts of eight hours each, so thait tho radio will be In uso tvvoijty-ljour liours a  aay.
In his letter to the county commis¬ sioners. SniUie said, "I believe t'hat there i'.i no more reason for refusiin.g thlis reciuest for the wdio than theire would be for reliising a telephone In the district attorney's 'office. Both are modern mc^arns i^i! c-nnnmunicaitlon, and the iMjdio is becoming increasingly recognized as necesa.try. The only dilToronce Ils one .if price, and with Montg-i.imery county so ine.ir the large centers cf liopulation, it is necessary that our citizen.^ have .all thc protec¬ tion  avail.ilik^  IVir   thom."
M'ith lliis olFiclal application lor the r'ldio, Smilie .akso tiled his .siieclti- catlons with the expilaniition that the riPCiolficatJons need not be a.dheii-ed to too closely to the exclusion of any manuCacturer fimm  the  blddinsf.
County Controller Irvin has so lar '0.pp I'sed tho purcha.io of the rndi.i pending the ia,pprova.l of the court on the legality of the e.vpendlture.
