Introduced the

meeting of the com-
..sking the committee which
:. appointed to tend to the affair
.Ast had been done.
Mr.. Andrews said nothing had been done
more than to discuss the matter.
Mr.. Baldwin then made motion that, un-
I'll some action had been taken by the com-
mittee, the superintendent be instructed to
secure the services of Mrs. q. W. Babb Of Al
Elm street, whenever matron was needed.
Mr.. Benton said there was surely an occa-
sion for calling In the services of q matron.
The question whether Mrs. Babb should re-
oeive $2.26 every time she was called to the
police station or whether she should be paid
for the time che was employed was dis
cussed.
Mr.. Chancey thought the matter of secur-
ing police matron had been disposed OF at q
previous meeting.
Superintendent Bollman said he had acted
upon President Andrews opinion and had
not availed himself Of the services OF MRS.

had called In some one from the neighbor-
hood.
The result of the discussion was the adop-
ton of Mr.. Baldwin's motion.
