    § 93. When  police matrons to reside at station houses.  When only one
  police matron is attached to a police station, she shall  reside  there,
  or  within  a  reasonable  distance therefrom, and shall hold herself in
  readiness to respond to any call therefrom at any hour  of  the  day  or
  night,  and  each matron shall, during such hours as may be fixed by the
  head of the police department, remain in such station and  hold  herself
  in  readiness  to respond to any call therefrom. So long as any woman is
  detained or held under arrest in a police  station  to  which  a  police
  matron  is  attached,  it  shall  be  the  duty of such matron to remain
  constantly thereat, ready for service; or if  there  be  more  than  one
  matron  attached  to  such station, then one of them shall be constantly
  ready for service.  A police matron shall, subject  to  the  officer  in
  charge  of such station house, have the immediate care and charge of all
  women held under arrest in the station to which she is attached, and she
  may at any time call upon the officer in  charge  of  such  station  for
  assistance.  She  shall  be  subject  to  the  authority of the board of
  police, or if there be no such board, then to the chief of police in the
  city where she may be appointed, and to the  rules  prescribed  by  such
  authority,  but  at  a  station  where  she  may be on duty she shall be
  subject only to the authority of the officer in charge thereof.
