Fines paid through the agency of humane societies shall be transferred to their credit if they are incorporated under the laws of Illinois.

The general superintendent of police shall have power, upon the written application of any society for prevention of cruelty to animals and children, incorporated under the laws of Illinois, to appoint not to exceed 25 special policemen whose names shall be set forth in such application, who shall be recommended by the president of such society. He may remove any persons so appointed without assigning any cause therefor, and he may appoint other persons upon similar application and recommendation to take the places of the persons removed.

The above provision is on the condition that the city shall not be liable for the compensation of such special policemen, and that such compensation shall be provided by the society requesting the appointment.
