PoLICEMEN's SALARIES.
Fifteen Members of the Old Force
Sue fer All the Money,

Fifteen Members of the Old Force to
Sue fer All the Money.
From April l, 1888, TO April /, 1889, the
city had police force of fifteen men, all
of whose terms-under the custom in
vogue of electing officers annually-ex-
pired April 1, 1890. But the Police Com
missioners, acting under special law
passed by the Legislature at that time,
elected force of twenty-five men in April,
1889, among whom were the fifteen men
who had served the preceding year. The
Supreme Court has decided that the special
Act was unconstitutional, and that only
fifteen men should have been appointed.
While awaiting this decision the city did
not pay the salaries OF her policemen last
year.
Now fifteen of the men who were re-
elected last year propose to sue the city to
recover the money remaining in the police
salary fund for the pay of the old number
of policemen. They are the men who
served during the preceding term, and
seem to think that they are entitled to the
money The claim will probably be made
that, inasmuch as the special Act was not
constitutional, there was no election in
1889, and that they should be regarded as
ho6-overs.
At Yesterdays session of the City Trus-
tees attorney Charles I. Jones appeared be-
fore the Board and stated that he was
about to bring suit in behalf of the fifteen
Original" police officers for their salaries
from April, 1889, TO April. 1890. He pro-
posed, however, to notify the Trustees and
find out whether or not they would sub
NIT that question 10 their attorneys. He
said he believed they would concede that
the fifteen men were entitled to their sal
aries, and the cost of a suit would thus be
avoided.
The Board agreed to meet some evening
during the week and have a consultation
with Mr. Jones, Hon. Grove L. Johnson
and City Attorney Hart on the subject.
There is law which provides that
policemen regularly chosen shall hold
their positions until discharged for good
cause, after a proper hearing and on
charges filed with the Police Commission
ers. If the fifteen men who served in 1889
should plead this Act in subsiantiation of
their claim, and the Courts should sustain
it. it would seem to open up long line of
similar claims by policemen who were
dropped at the end of each year without
hearing, and against whom no charges
were preferred.
There are those who hold that all the
TWENTY-FIVE men chosen in 1889 were ap-
pointed on equal footing, regardless of the
fact that some of their number had served
the preceding year, and that the 500
month raised by taxation for fifteen men
should be apportioned among them

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
The Mayors and Trustee McLaughlil
Views on Collecting Water Rates.

The Mayors and Trustee McLaughlin's
Views on Collecting Water Rates.
1t will be remembered that couple of
months ago Mayor Comstock and Trustee
Mclaughlin voted to discharge one of the
water collectors. Since then the receipts
have fallen off about one half. At yester-
days session of the Trustees, Mr.. McLaugh
lin wanted to know whether or not the col
lection smade by the Clerk of the Water
Works were falling off or being increased
since the discharge of one of the clerks.
The Mayor said the collections were not
as large as usual, but he believed the en-
ploves were at fault, and that if they had
attended TO their duty they would have
succeeded in making better returns. He
was told by lady that she went down to
the Clerks Office last Thursday and found
the Office locked. No business house would
tolerate employees who would act thus.
Mr.. Mclaughlin wanted to know why
the Mayor was casting reflections on the
Clerk of the Water Works. Why didn't
he prefer written charges and try him, if he
believed that official guilty of misconduct
The Mayor said he had good reason to do
SO, and might at some future day.
Mr.. Mclaughlin then submitted pro-
posed ordinance authorizing the Clerk of
the Water Works to appointtwo additional
deputies. who shall hold office at the pleas
ure of the Board of Trustees. and receive
salsry each of 800 per month; their duties
to be to collect water rates in the First and
Second Supervisor Districts, and report TO
the Board monthly all of the persons who
were delinquent in payment.

nance provided for dispensing with the
services of the Water Inspector.

Yesterday afternoon an autopsy was
held by DR.. c. B. Nichols, City Physician,
on the body of John Sullivan, who died on

ture Of the skull caused by fall from a
wagon. The examination was made in
the presence of Drs, G. L. and 6. c. Sim
nous, Or. ". 4. Briggs, and Dr. Sntliff.
The fact wss revealed that the exact local
ity OF the fracture, owing to its peculiar
character, was not apparent until the skull
had been barred; also that death would
have resulted from the extravssatiou of
blood on the opposite side of the head,
even could the fracture itself have been OF
