| Commissioner Lewis stated that the
police officers are trying to get up
benefit for the widow of the late Officer
Chase at Turnverein hall. The COM
missioners were in favor of suspending
| the department rules so as to allow the
policemen to sell tickets for this chari-
| table purpose, while not on duty. 1t
was SO ordered.
| The mayor asked what rnle would be
| followed as to the appointment of Of
ficers to vacancies in respect to the
representation of the different wards.
The chief suggested that candidates
ought to be subjected to a mental and
physical examination before being
appointed. Mr.. McGarry, who was
present, said that he had never hitherto
| bothered the commission for a position.
He thought, therefore, that since the
two men who recently died were from
the Seventh ward, it would be no more
than fair to replace them from the same
ward. Mr.. Rhodes wanted to have the
selection of men left to the chief. The
mayor agreed with this opinion. The
matter was then referred to the chief,
who was instructed to give ward repre-
sentation some weight in his appoint
ments.
