The Metropolitan Police.
Mr.. Shaw said he had an ordinance which
on account of its Importance, he desired to
be read, though its passage was not asked
for at this meeting. 1t was an ordinance
proposing settlement of the questions be
tween the city and the Metropolitan Police
Commissioners by the Police Commissioners
| issuing no further warrants receivable fol-
taxes and it amounted practically to paying
the police in their turn the same as any
| 10 off tba limo |,
for first and second reading, with the un,
derstanding that if, by next Tuesday, the
Board of Police Commissioners would agree
to issue no more warrants payable for taxes,
the Council would adopt it. This would ex.
| plain the fact that the trial did not take
place in the Eighth District Court yester-
day. He considered it practical concession
on both sides.
