The Council committee on police has
discovered that the police fund will last
only until the last day of November, and
that it will have to apply to Council for
an appropriation to pay the salaries Of
the police for December. The commit
tee on finance was warned Of this dam
ger when 1t Topped $2,029 off the appro-
ptiation asked for by the police depart
ment, but did the Topping nevertheless.
Bills aggregatiDg $106 10 for the po-
lice department and $500 3S for the city
prison were ordered paid. Carl Fulton's
petition for pay for the twenty days he
was disabled from work by an attack
made on him by the patrol wagon
horse, was approved, and Council will
be asked to pay the amount out Of the
City's contingent fund.
Tho appointment by Chief McNiehol
of August Mayer, vice Officer Stanley,
discharged, and the appointment OF
Henry Snyder az extraman was APP
proved. The appointment by the gu.
perintendent Of the workhouse Of
Thomas Finnegan as guard. vice Harry
L. Carenbauer, resigned, wa approved.
The monthly report for May oil the
doings of the department., prepared by
Lieutenant Gaus, pleased the committee
so well, that it has decided to grant
him and Lieutenant Terrill $40 a
month each, for clerical work, and
| Council will be asked to approve the
committees action. The lieutenants
| are doing work that was not required OF
them before the new police ordinance
| passed, and the committee thinks 1t is
Just that they should receive proper
compensation.
The committee on ordinances met
yesterday evening and passed the an
uual so and 10 cent levy ordinances. The
city collector was instructed to prepare
an ordinance, prohibiting and pre-
scribing penalties for the malicious de-
struction of electric arc light globes.
Col. George B. Caldwell presented to
the committee on claima a petition re-
citing that the Hubbard property, Nos.
8119, 1921 and 1928 McColloch street,
had been damaged by the change Of
grade of that street made in 1880, the
houses having been built according to
q grade established by ordinance in
1870. The cost of raising the houses
was estimated at S2l5 and Of building
new foundations at $3.50, and petition
ers asked the city to stand the expense.
Colonel Caldwell said the city Of Park
ersburg, in two cases, had been COM
PEELED by the court to pay damages re.
suiting to property from o change Of
grade from one previously established
by the city. The members OF the COM
mittee decided to meet on Wednesday,
Mt 9 p. M, at Thirty-third and McCoi-
loch streets, to view the premises.
A petition from Peter Maurer, asking
pay for work claimedto have been done
| byhim for the city away back in 1886,
was laid on the table, it developing that
MIR. Maurer had sued for this amount
some years ago in a Justices court and
had been defeated.
MI. Filan called the committee's at
/ tention to the fact that no action had
been taken in the claims for damages
/ alleged to have been sustained by prop
erty owners near Caldwell's run by the
/ grading OF the Terminal Railway Com
pany, and the committee decided to
take another look at the property.
