I moved that Frank Fee be reappOinted tru-
ant officer, and that the Board of Police and
| Fire Commissioners be 50 requested. Mayor
[ Dikeu An thought the Board of Police and
Fire Commissioners was quite capable OF
making the appointments. He thought
Fee was a good man but he did not want
this Board 20 obligate itself 20 the other
Board. Fee had been appointed last May
and If be was TO be removed the Board of
/ Police and Fire Commissioners knew what
I it WAS doing Trustee Fletcher
thought 10 was mis-
axe TO make a change in the truant
officer Fee was a very capable man
Trustee Sullivan did not understand that
. Fee had been appointed last May, that be
ing 80 he changed the re- olution 10 read
retained" Trustee Mills thought that
Fee was working his case up as it was a
sOft snap. Another patrolman named J.B.
, Johnson was trying 10 knock Fee out OF
I the iob. he thought it was necessary to
have some one who could speak the hol-
land language. Trustee Sullivan did not
care anything about soft snaps. He thought
Fee was efficient and the best man for the
place The motion was carried. Trustee
Fletcher moved that Trustees Reilly, Ulrlch
and Drury be appOined Ell a special commit

arisen in the building committee and re-
1 / port upon the same with all convenient

spoke in favor of the Board not
expressing an opinion until proper invest
