zee on police; pay for sickness IN family and
oIner causes are not contemplated b. tbs ordi-
nance OF police regulations and time 50 lost has
not heretofore been allowed In the opinion Of
the unuers gned, the granting of the petition
could be based only upon sympathy for the mis-
fortune OF the petitioner, and whio the un-
us5slgned feel as deeply as Others for the
of1cer IN his misfortune, yet they do not con-
sider that such feeling should influence the ac-
Hon OF the committee. when the interests of
the city and the discipline Of the police force
are at stake.
Under these facts the majority OF the com
mttee report adversely. MERRIlT W. DIXON,
HERMAN MYERS.
MINORITY REPORT
dissent from the report of the majority of
the committee in the case of Policeman Neid-
hnger. II seems TO me that his petition ought
TO be granted. The correctness of its state
ments abundantly appears from the certificates
OF Drs. Brandt and stone. There is absolutely
no room for the theory that the petitioner was
teigning or endeavoring to shirk his duty. HUI
manity demanded his presence at the bedside
OF his wife; the obligations Of a husband en-
phasized this demand.
Under the undisputed facts, cannot consent
to the Withholding of & part of the ofice,'
salary. GEO S HAlNKs
