Important Change in

There was also large lobby who
speculated on the chances of the different
candidates for the two new offices which

ever, by practically adopting a resolution
which will probably do away with the
new Offices.

tion of Commissioner Kaufman, referred
to the chief for certification. The claim
OF Policeman Hammond for refund of
thirty-six days pay was referred to the
Committee on Finance and Salaries The
pay roll. amounting to S5,340.S6 was
passed. The report of the License Inspec-
tor was received. The charges against
Policeman Goode were dismissed, as Max
Duncker, the principal witness. did not
put in an appearance.
Commissioner Utz then offered the fol-
lowing, which created quite breeze:-
Whereas. The manual adopted by this
Board at its last meeting and now being
printed, contains the words Captain"
and Inspector" and as neither of these
offices now exists, and as the retention of
the words may lead to a misapprehension
on the part of the Board or it's successors
in Office as creating two new and addi-
therefore be it
Resolved, That the words Captain and 'In-
spector," wherever they may appear in said
manual, be stricken out and the printer notified
to make the correction.
On motion of Commissioner Coyle the
resolution was referred to the Corporation
Attorney to ascertain If the proceeding
was proper. The Board then adjourned
