LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.


To the Union and American: "a
| see that a bill has been introduced in
the City Council 10 remove police head
quarters to the wOrkhOuse, thereby saving
the city six thousand dollars annually. l
would like to know why the city pays
tYenty-One hundred dollars annually for a
CITY marshal and assistant when the police
could be detailed for the same duties with
out any additional outlay from the treasury.
By abOlishing the positions Of city marshal
and his assistant we could save twenty one
hundred dollars, yearly. This can be easily
done and should be done. as the city is in
need of every cent it can reasonably save.
