The DISMISSAL OF Policeman brennan.

The URton pats the mayor ON the back
and says bravo for removing the veteran
Officer Brennan, and attempts in the same
breath to offer an excuse for his honor's
official act in this regard. That Brennan
was indiscreet to an extent warranting
severe reprimand none deny. The officer
voluntarily confessed his offense to the
mayor and it being the first time he had
violated the police rules in the least de-
gree in twenty years, he asked that his
punishment be anything but entire dis
nissal from the force. The ARGUS com
mends the mayors policy in attempting
to insure efficiency in his force and would
be more pleased were he to carry such
ideas TO other departments of public ser
vice under his control, but there are ex-
tenuating circumstances in Brennan's
case. He had recently undergone a Sc.
we're strain upon his system IN loss of
sleep occasioned by the death of his
brothers wife, which coupled with the
long hours of service broke him down and
this was the cause of his indiscretion. He
deserved reprimand and punishment
neyertheless, but one failing in twenty
years is not sufficient excuse for entire
dismissal. The mayor strained point in
Brennsn's csse-he borrowed an excuse
to carry out a long hsrbored desire.

resting his feet on the crude railing in the
Diamond 10 freight Office. he expressed
his sentiments about the wing dam work
being done at the foot OF Otter island
He thinks the wing dam Major Mackenzie

opinion of Major Mackenzie as a river en-
gineer. and says that most of the work
done on the river by that gentleman has
been very proper and useful to the steam
boating business. True, says the cap
tain, a great deal of injury has been done

ment thinkers, but the good work can be
readily separated from the bad. and Maj
