Present One, Wanser Blocks
the New.
GREENVILLE STATION HOUSE.

The Police Commissioners held a short
session yesterday afternoon. Prior to it
a conference was held which lasted more
than an hour, to decide il possible upon
the selection of q sergeant to ill the va
cancy caused by the death of Sergeant
Moore of the Seventh precinct. In this,
however, the Commissioners were unsuc-
cessful. Candidates are numerous aud
each man is bringing all the friends posi-
be to the trout 10 intercede in his behalf,
AS matters stand the vacant place will
probably be filled by Roundsman Flan-
nelly of the First precinct. Policeman
Coyne Is also hustling for the place. There
are three candidates in the Secoud pre-
cincr, and several in the Four. h, Third
and eveuth. The appointment belongs
10 Commissioner Kelly and it is highly
probable that IL First precinct nun will De
the fortunate one.
READ HIS MAYOR wANsER.
The dilemma i'll which the Commits
sioners find themselves in relation to the
SCI geantship is now second in import to Il
FRESH dilemma that made its appearance
yesterday. John A. Etfray. owner OF the
building now occupied by the Fifth Pre-
ciLct police in Grtenvllie, has seiyed Il
notice of ejectment upon the Commls-
sioners. He demands the vacation OF the
building within three months, aud just
what course to pursue is pGzzling the
Commissioners. Contractor Condor has
been awarded the contract for the con-
struction of the new police building in
Greeuville, but since Mayor Wnnser's
partisan attack III on him in connection
with tie building of the Public School
No. 20 he has taken no stems toward the
construction of he building. Contractor
Condon objects s~trenuousiy to dong
work and then having to enter into legal
complications to get his money.
Mayor Wanser is wrong in this mat
ter said Commissioner Van I1curen yes
terday afternoon. Mayor Wanser could
insist npop the appointment of a reliable
inspector for The police building and no
trouble would toe experienced. Mr.. Con-
don could be made To carry out the speci-
fcat rils, aud as his bid is a low one |
shonIl think the Mayor would now insist
upon him carrying out his contract. The
new building is needed badly. and this
delay is aoing to cause US considerable
iroGnle."
III" Board directed Clerk Robinson to
communicate with the Street and Water
Commissioners with IL view TO solving the
Il .fliCalty.
