premises OF No 109 0ia1gs street, that
has. been there since the 26th day OF
March, and also calling attention to the

tending to their duty. As the c1m.

the Finance Committee was inttructed
TO investigate the matter and report at

The Same gentleman also offered the
following:
WHEREAS The charge has been pub
Holy made by the press OF this city that,
contrary to all rules OF propriety and
decenoy, certain police officers took
keg Of Deer into tho police rooms and
drank the same In these rooms; and

licly exposed in order ID remove the
dissrace from the Innocent members OF
the force; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That a comm mittes of three
be appointed By this Council to investi.
gate suoh charges"
In moving the adoption OF the resolu-
lion ar. Chambers baid that Council
had spent soma $500 In improving
anotser mans pr psrty for the use OF
toe oficerE, and Are now payi0g about
SauO rent for It's use. A number ofl
public spirited citiEsnB have also con
tributed books, papera and other things
TO make II oom foTtab,s; he therefore
thought that sltEeagh it doss not be
ling 10 the city, 1t is under the control
OF Ccur ell. Hs als1 thought 1t DUTY
oued TO the may or and the officers who
did not part oipAts in these outrageous
proceediuPs, that the matter should be
fully Investigated and the guilty PAR
ties exposed.
Mr.. Baynsrd sSld that, while as .
general thing he was In favor Of all the |
hRht that could be thrown on the 40 |
eous OF any OF the city officials, he
could not say that he WAS in favor OF
the resolution. Theee officers have but
a ehort time TO serve, and IL would be q |
difienlt matter TO secure good men to |
take their places, and tho city would
also be nut 10 considerable expeEsa in |
furnishing them with uniforms. But
apart from this, there remains the fact |
shat there Is not o citizen of Whining.
