POLICEMEN FOR FAIR TIME.
To the Board Of Trustees: 1t is my in-
tention, pursuant to Section l34 OF the
charter, to appoint fifteen special police
men during the two weeks from Sep
Lember Zd to September 10Th, during
which time the Native Sons celebration,
the electric carnival and the State Fair
VIII be held. In view Of the fact that there
will be u larger crowd of people in the city
than usual during said time, l am OF the
opinion, after consultation with Chief Of
Police Drew. that it would be wise 10 ap-
point these special policemen the week
preceding September I'd, or the COM
menccment OF the fair, SO that they could
become accustomed to the duties OF their
position and render good service when
the city shall be crowded. L further
recommend that their number be in
creased from fifteen 10 twenty-One, as 1t
viii be necessary to have a number Of
extra policemen TO keep the streets clear
during the professions. 1t would be
well, also, TO authorize the Chief OF Police
TO detail a mounted force, if necessary,
for this purpose. Respectfully submit
ted b. \. SrEINMAN Mayor.
CITIZENS REQUESTS.
L. 7. Hatfield. for the Electric Power
and Light Company, presented copy Of
the ordinance asked for allowing the
company TO carry fruit, vegetables, ETC.,
over the road as well as passengers, and
asked that it be- acted on next Monday
night.
J. *. Foster addressed the board, saying
that the citizens in the neighborhood Of
l. street near Tenth asked relief. The
Pacific Street improvement Company
has fixed It's engine on l. street for the
purpose OF fixing the street. The resi-
dents did not object SO much when they
thought 1t only a temporary arrangement,
but they found now that the company
has made arrangements to keep II there
permanently while doing work in vari-
Gus parts OF the city. The smoke and
whistling OF the engine is a great nui-
sance and the citizens would like TO have
it moved.
1t was ordered that the Mayor be re-
uuested to have the machine moved to
some suitable locality. so that il should
not remain III one place all the time.
Ievine said he thought the Thirty-frst-
street canal would have to be cleaned
out, and he thought the county would
probably put up half the cost Of cleaning
II out, SIS the water is settling around
Last Park. he thought Street Superin-
tendent Murray should have the canal
cleaned out.
He presented plan for decorating the
offices, which he thought would cost
about Sl25. The bank company would
contribute SO and Devlin Bros. Will also
contribute. The matter was referred to
the Building Committee with power 10
act.
Bragg said that the street railroad and
East Park people are willing to do most
OF the work Of cleaning the canal, and be
moved that the Superintendent OF Streets
be instructed 10 put to work two men for
that purpose tor one week.
DeVIne moved that committee of two
lie appointed 10 wait on the Supervisors
TO sec how much they would contribute.
The motion Of Bragg was carried, and
that OF bovine was also carried, and
Iozer ana Kent were appointed as such
committee.
NATIVE sons PARADE.
\ committee from the Native Sons, con-
sisting OF Alossrs. SkeltOn, Greer and
Eilers. waited on the board aud asked
that, in ORDER TO add to the parade and to
let visitors know how fine ire depart
ment the city has, the board would allow
the tire d9Dartment to turn out in the
parade and a.so to have the police force
turn out Is an escort to the parade.
Leonard opposed the request. The fire
department Is Il portion OF the business
part OF tho city government and should
be in Its place and ready for duty. He
hoped the board would not grant the re-
quest.
Davis did not see any harm in letting
the department parade, as 1t had in past
years.
Chief Engineer Guthrie hoped the board
would not consent to the request. He
could remember when fire had occurred
ana the department did not hear the
alarm until it was too late. The engines
should Ue in their places, and the men
read for action if needed.
Kent advocated granting both requests,
and moved that the Chief Engineer be
instructed to have the department turn
out. and bring down the extra engine
and hook and ladder truck to leave in the
eugine-houses for duty if needed.
Leonard still opposed the motion, and
il was lost by vote OF to 4.
Leonard then moved that the request
with regard to the police be granted, and
the motion was carried.
PATROL WAGON MATTERS.
Leonard said the Police Committee had
been abolished and the whole board is
handling the matters of that department.
lie wished 10 state that the new patrol
wagon was nearly finished, and that
Kent had picked out pair of horses for
the wagon which he would like the board
to pass Judgment upon. He moved that
rack tor washing wagons, 10 cost not to
exceed So. be constructed in front OF the
patrol wagon house. SO ordered.
Bragg said that as there was no longer
a Police Committee no one seemed to
be looking after the building. If the
building Committee is to have charge OF
IL he wanted copy Of the specifications.
SPECIAL. POLICEMEN.
Devine moved that the Mayors re-
quest be complied with and that twenty
one special policemen be appointed three
days before the fair commences. The
motion was carried.
