Resolution by AID Clancy, in relation to the Hon.
James Guthrie late Secretary of the Treasury being
On visit to the city, and that the of the Govern
or's Room in which to receive his friends Adopted
The Police St0iion-Houses.-The report Of the COM
mitee to give the Police Sta,ion.ioases to the new
Police, being the special order, came up. Aid. Nc
Spedon offered an amendment that nothing in the res
fee lately appropriated TO the business Of bureau Of
the Street Commas iOners department.
p Alderman TUCKER opposed this amendment.
The city had been put to large expense for the Iele
would be at great cost as well as to obtain new
Office and in the time the city was III danger OF
fire and riot. Alderman FuLAER also opposed the
amendment. He was opposed to the new law. but 1t
,bould be obeyed, and he thought the law gave the
ne " police the right of the Chiefs Office.
AID. STEERS supported the amendments and thought
The rev Police could az wei have their ne lon
Mayors office, and require for the Street Department
AID. McSPEDos commended for his amendment The
City Hall was entirely under control Of the Common
Council. The telegraph apparatus had been removed
by Dir. RobinsOn, who owned it, and only the wires
remained.
Alderman Blunt was surprised TO find that the tele
graph apparatus had been removed Ii it had, it was
without authority, and would cost the Taxpayers ut
least so, 600 or $50, 600.
Aid. Tucker soid that the telegraph cost the city
over 100000 and he had yet to learn that Mr.. Robin
r, n owned it's handspring The Chief had often told
him that the Office in question was the only place for
the police headquarters but now that we have new
police the ruling majority here under the direction
Of the Mayor, deny the use Of the apartments to the
Deputy Superintendent The Police Commissioners
had the power to spend as much money as they
required but they had proper regard for the tax
payers and had waited patiently for the statonhouses
and sppurtenances but if the Common Council did
rot now give them up, the Commissioners would have
to get new stations telegraph apparatus and new
Headquarters and the Common Council would be
responsible to the public for this action.
AID. WILSON said the Committee had reported to
give the Police property entire to the new Police,
az he could not vote for the amendment. The law
gives them the right to the Chiefs office as well as
the other property, and Mr. Ring OF the Street De-
psrtment had no business with it. IL was petty
little piece spite to keep that ONCE aud inc sp
COZ stiuiional aid should submit 20 then. II was
no use for the Common Council 10 oppose them
longer; the only hope was to beat them a. the po.
The taxes would be increased the Police properly wa;
withheld. and the Common Council would be blamed
when the people came to pay their taIei. The Law
he thought outrageous, but as it stood it must be
respected and cbeyed. twas necessarily have tue
telegraph connected with The City Hall; he has a.
re adv found the new Police very useful and had 10
doubt the Common Council would lind then very
lever men. They would not contamina'e our ster
Ing Democrats, and there was no dagger
in having them near u'. lie t1ougst
flee for both Mr. Ring, the Superintendent Of
Repairs and Supplies as well as for the head-
ona,;ers Of he new Police. This Office had al
rays been the Police Headquarters, and citizens
would find any other Involvement. II tnis Doa,u
could do anything to induce the new Commissioners
to take into their Department those Of the CID ponce
in want OF such positions, il was their duty; and
wss customary for Democrats to take office under
Wigs as well as Wings to take office under Democrats.
Twas wrong TO expect that those o. the oid ponce
should nc, take Office nder the new Commissioners.
Aid ADAMS said he would vote for the repor, as
cdc. He believed our chartered rights had been H.
ysted blu: he thought the pro'ecii9p u ne ana prop
.ry Row quirtd them 10 give up the pence property
although he was no less party man.
