tions received by him from the COMMITTEES
in relation to placing the names OF the
ten suspended policemen on the pay roll.
The contents Of the communication could

urer this morning bore the following en-
dorsements In addition to those OF last
week:
There being no appropriation for pay
Ing special office officers. n,ndu.I and no .n6 a",
the number of regular officers being
sufficiently large for the needs OF the
city, aud no necessity existing for procur-

The COMMITTEES do not approve the pay
Toll of the officials. rs they claim that
with the ten policemen appointed by
acting Mayor Davis while Mayor Carroll
was away, and which the mayor has sus-
pended, the police force Is ample for oil
ordinary purposes without special men
performing duty.
Under this payroll the regular men
will probably be paid tomorrow, as the
treasurer, not being prepared for the re-
ception Of the payroll to-day, Is unable
TO accommodate himself to the circum-
stances la so short time.
This morning the police pay roll which
was returned TO the Chief OF Police last
week as incorrect by tho committee on
accounts, was placed with the city treas
urer, and 1t was ascertained that this
was what occupied the attention OF the
committee so long last evening
It will be remembered that this pay
roll was returned to the chief last week
because the names OF the ten policemen
suspended by Mayor Carroll were left of
again sent to the committee last evening
without alteration, accompanied by the
following communication from Chief or
Police Perry:
