recommending that the police force of our city

adopting the measure was presented, which
came up for final action on Thursday evening
last.
Messrs Bellah and Plunkett expressed the
opinion that however advantageous the uniform
ing the police might be, there were other ways
in which the money could be expended with
equal profit and the demand was more pressing
Mr.. P. said we had city prison not fit to con
fue dog in, and the council should take i'm
mediate measures TO improve il.
Mr.. HoFner said be had no objection to adopt
a uniform dress, but the council had necessarily
expended good deal of money the past year,
and as this expenditure was not an actual
necessity he thought it would be expedent to
dispense with It Mt present.
Messrs Pusey and Pierce also made remarks
in regard to the inexpediency OF the proposition,
after which the whole matter was indefinitely
postponed.
