 The adjourned meeting of the board of police commissioners was held last evening, all members of the board be- ing present and Mayor Hendrick pre- siding. Paul A, Mautte and Joseph Gal lagher appeared before the board as candidates for appointment on the police force. Their applications were received and the two men were ordered to go to the police surgeons for exam nation. It was reported to the board that James R. King and John Carlton had been examined by the surgeons. Their applications were therefore ap- proved and ordered on file. The appli- cation of Thomas A. Ryan was laid on the table. MT. Keegan was given leave to withdraw his application, as he had been found unsatisfactory by the board.
 Superintendent Smith reported that Professor A. w. Phillips and Treasurer w. w. Farnam of Yale college had been down to the office and had praised Off, cers Wiser and Donnelly highly for the efficient work they had done on the campus the past year and requested that they might have the same two men another year. They stated that the men had kept their temper under all kinds of treatment the students having called them about everything but decent names. The department re- ceives $3 per day for each man from the college. The men receive $2.75 per day apiece. Superintendent Smith re- quested that he be allowed to use the surplus for sundries. This permission | was granted.
 Commissioner Moran said that he un- derstood there had been some trouble about the supernumeraries, so that 1t was thought best some of them should | be dropped The efficiency of the su- pernumeraries was referred to the com | mittee on efficiency with instructions to examine the list and report who should and who should not be dropped. Supernumerary Martin McAllen made application for remuneration for his clothes, which were torn in making an arrest on the night of July 3. The | matter was referred to the committee on finance.
 The matter of the appointment of | detectives was laid on the table.
 ! The matter of the transfer of Officer | Lawlor from station to station 2 and Officer Marshall from station to station came up for consideration. These l changes were made for discipline and Commissioner Prince said that he had | understood one of the men to have said that he would get back in spite l of the commissioners. "If this is so," he said, land this matter has heen 1 brought up as ruse want to know it." The matter was referred to the | committee on efficiency with instruc- 1 tions to enquire and report.
 ! The matter of the appointment of a l clerk of the board in place of the late 1 Charles T. Candee was postponed until
 the next meeting. As the superintend- l ent was obliged to have some one to
 assist him in the duties of clerk he
 was authorized to employ a temporary clerk to help him.
 l A meeting of the trustees of the pen l sion fund was held after the adjourn l ment of the board It was reported
 that $4,000 worth of Greenwich bonds had been purchased, as had been di- 1 rected at the last meeting
 SELECTMEN'S SPIRITED SESSION. l Selectman Bretzfelder was again very
 much in evidence at the meeting of the selectmen last evening and took occa-
 sion to criticise at considerable length the action of Town Agent Baldwin in paying bills contracted in the name of
 the town before they had been before
 the finance committee of the board. He particularly specified a bill of $3.5O for
 Lake Whitney cigars, one of $21 for extra services rendered by Arthur M
 Beebe, the janitor of the town portion
 of the city hall, and still another bill,
 amounting, he said, to nearly $1 000,paid to Town Counsel Goodhart.
 In reply Town Agent Baldwin said | that the cigars in question were used by the members of the board upon a recent visit to Springside farm and that
 Selectman Bretzfelder apparently en- joyed the cigars as much as any one
 else. Continuing, he said it seemed to him out of taste for the selectman to
 talk about the cigars which he had SC 1 thoroughly enjoyed. In reference tc
 the bill of $21 he explained that it was for extra services rendered necessary in order to put the hall in decent con- dition, as it was in a filthy condition 1 when the new janitors took hold, and he did not think it was right to tax
 this extra expense. It was also explain.
 ed that the bill was only about $6, while
 under former democratic administra.
 tions the cost of the same work had
 been $50. When Selectman Bretzfeldei learned of this he evidently did not de- sire any further explanations and the
 entire matter was dropped
 Three residents of Westville appeared
 before the board and claimed that the
 New Haven Street Railway company
 had not carried out the provisions o1 the Edgewood avenue branch charter
 in not running It's cars to the entire distance agreed upon through Westville
 They also claimed that passengers were compelled to walk quarter of 2
 mile. The residents were in favor o1
 making the New Haven Street Railway
 company take up its tracks and allow
 the Fair Haven and Westville company
 to cover the ground with their tracks
 In executive session it was voted to ta.
 ble the matter for week and secure
