 All the members of the board of po- lice commissioners were present at lasu nights meeting. over the deliberations of which body Mayor Sargent presided. The first business transacted was the approval of the monthly bllIA and all went along swimmlngly until bill for sS for taking care of the patrolmsn'a bunk room for the past month was re. ceived from Mrs. Richard Coogan, wifs of the janitor of the building.
 When this bill was reached a general howl went up. and several of the com nissloners were immediately eager and jealous to save the city this unneces- sary expense. Commissioners Hmm stated that this was an excellent chance for the city to save $1OO a year and thought that under the circumstances when the city paid a janitor a large salary. sl,2O0. for the work of taking care of the building he should see that. the work was done without any extra expense.
 Commissioner clancey was of tho opihion that the work in question should be done by the matron and sue- gested that 1t be added to Mrs. Ire lands duties. Finally after a brief dist cussion the matter was referred to thA committee on finance to inquire into and report at the next meeting.
 Patrolman Charles O. Bowers of no- lice headquarters was allowed nav fop seventeen days. during which period he was unable to per form his duties in consequence of inj'1ries received while climbing to the top of the flagstaff on the central green several months ago.
 Patrolman John H. Moore, also of police headquarters, was allowed nav for siXty-one days loss of time in con, sequence of injuries received while in the discharge of his duties. The officer. apout the first of July, while trying doors in the discharge of his duties, re- ceived an injury to his right thumb. The injury proved of such a serious na- ture that at one time it was thourbt that it might be necessary to amputate his arm, and the officer has been unable to do any duty until October ?. A doc tors bill of $14795 was also ordered paid.
 In this case Dr. L. J. Gaynor per, formed most skillful operation and thereby saved the patrolman's thumb. He was assisted by Drs. Bissell and Me- Cabe. The case is considered a peculiar one in medical surgery. At one time amputation was deemed necessary, but after two months careful work on the part of his attending physician the injurd officer will soon be as we'll as ever and was able to resume duty on Monday last.
 On recommendation of Superintend- ent Smith, Patrolmen Trainor Frey. Hope and Cooper were promoted from grade D to grade c, the promotion to date from October ', 1884,
 A lengthy communication from Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth, president of the Law and Order league. which was printed in the Journal and Cour- fer several days ago, was read by City Clerk Martin. On motion of Commits sioner Clancey the communication was accepted and ordered on file. When the matter first came up Commissioners Clancey moved that the communication be laid on the table without reading. and the motion was seconded by Com- missioner Doolittle. Both Commission. CTS Hum and Prince seriously objected to this method of doing business, claim ing that it was not right, and in conse- quence of their efforts the communioa- tion was read in it's entirety.
 The committee on finance of the board was appointed a committee to prepare a list of estimated expenses for the com- ing year, and the board will meet again Friday night at 7:3O o'clock to consider the question.
 In executive session the board decided to detail Patrolmen Willis G. Wiser and J. E. Donnelly for permanent duty on the university campus These off, cers will be paid by the college authori- ties. Honorable mention was also made of Patrolman Thomas Colwell for faith- full services rendered in arresting James McKeever, who was found trespassing on and lettering about the premises of State Attorney Doolttle several weeks ago.
