Session 710, Minutes August 20, 1962 Page 25 afternoon, Mr. Ellman, Director of Finance, had advised him there are a nigher of things which will undoubtedly raise some questions and he wants to prepare a report regarding the entire memo and each of the points that are raised. Hayor Kaufman said he would like to find out about the golf permits. The Hayor suggested that the last paragraph of the communication be submitted to the Library Board concerning recommended use of a mechanical gadget for collecting book fines. COOPERATION OF POLICE DEPAR~iEI~ - WASHI,TON UNIVES$ITY: Hayor Kaufman called attention to a memorandum from the City Hanaser re- lating to a letter received by Chief Demos from the Superintendent of Police of the St. Louis County Department of Police, Raymond W. Hensley, requesting the services of the University City Police Department in the event of an emergency -- suggesting that in times of emergency the Univer- sity City Police could answer calls from Washington University until such time as officers from the St. Louis County Police Department could arrive on the scene.

For the purpose of the record, Hayor Kaufman said perhaps he should suggest that he received a communica- tion from Mr. Edward E. Murphy, Jr., St. Louis County Council, and he has suggested that the County Highway Department has been negotiating with
