that our police numerous, that our streets are

them to do any mischief without being caught in

even have single days vacation. II was shown
that his bills were regularly audited and passed
BY the Supervisors, but That for more than year
and q half ne was unable to get his salary paid.

his appointment. ana that there was no apprOprl-
alton OF money IN the treasury from which he
could be paid Mr.. Malcolm Campbell,
