Council meeting this week was held in
City Hall. The spectators gathered early
in perfect jam. When Mayor Crisswell
began his report on police affairs, Mr..
Reid objected to Roeder occupying the
chair, as he would probably be party
concerned in the charges. Mr.. Bippus
took the chair. The Mayor read all the
ordinances and resolutions OF the Council
bearing upon the subject before he stated
his case, which would have left all in the
dark, had they heard nothing OF the mat

they would. The Mayors "savtng" the
taxpayers he summed up thus: In the
Mayors pocket ST so; in Policeman

pocket only 81 90. according to the
City Solicitor, these fees are not paid at
all except the fine be paid in cash that is,
the officers get no fees at all when the
fine is worked out. while the city gets the
stone broken.) Mr.. Highleyman charged
various things on the Mayor and on Mr..
Roeder, and his honor showed q constant
disposition to interrupt, although Mr.. 81.
had kept perfectly quiet while his honor
was speaking. Mr.. Roeder began reply
very calmly but soon got very much ex-
cited. The City Solicitor made plain
statement of the case, showing that the
policemen had probably misunderstood
the situation and that all the Council had
to do was to approve or disapprove the
Mayors action. At last vote was taken
and the Mayor was not sustained. The
Mayor tLen jumped up and declared that
he would forthwith suspend the police
men for another week, that he would not
be made cats paw. Query-The Mayor
can suspend "for cause" The Council de-
Cided that the cause was not sufficient. The
Mayor suspended the policemen for an
other week. Now, cannot the policemen
make the city pay them for this week, as
the Council has already said the Gauss was
not sufficient?
The Mayor has appointed temporary
policemen, as follows: First ward, Shan
non Archer; Second ward, Alb. Fowler;
Third ward, William Crozler; Fourth
ward, none; Fifth ward, Isaac Crisswell.
