ance of citizens present In the Aldermanic
chamber at the city hall. They were at
tracted by the announcement In last
nights TRIBUNE that appointments OF
importance were to be presented by
Mayor Moies for approval by the Board
OF Aldermen. There were also number
present who were curious to see what
action would be taken regarding the re-
fussl Of the Common Council to concur
in the amendment to the salaries bill
passed at the last meeting OF the Board.
The frat business to come before the
Board was action on a communication
from His Honor, the Mayor, nominating
members of the police force for the ensu-
ing year. These nominations did not
change the present make up OF the force,
except the addition OF two more patrol
men. The new patrolrneD are OH.
GERS Bloomfield and Lambert. The
nominations were approved without
discussion.
Clerk Crawford then read another COM
munication from Mayor Moies, nomina-
ting David Goldsmith as Chief OF Police
and Merrill LoukesDas Sergeant.
Alderman Eastwood of the First ward
moved that the nominations OF the Mayor
be confirmed and 1t was SO voted. The
promotion of Captain Goldsmith had been
expected and when 1t was known that he
was to be Chief of Police the fact created
no surprise. A communication from the
Mayor nominating number OF special
% police constables was also received.
These were also approved upon motion OF
Alderman Eastwood.
A communication from the Common
Council was then read, stating that that
body had voted at, its last meeting not to
concur with the Board OF Aldermen In
the amend ment to the salaries bill whereby
the salaries of the members OF the Board
OF Tax Assessors we're raised from $l6O to
1900. Upon receipt Of this communica-
tion Alderman Martin INDUCED in quite
a protracted discourse on the amount OF
labor which the Board OF Assessors would
haye to deyote to the city, and thought
that the remuneration offered by the
lower branch of the City Council ridicu-
lously inadequate.
Mr.. Schiller said that 1t would take the
assessors three months to properly per-
form their duty and that the pay would
be only about $1.50 per day, which he did
not consider flair remuneration for the
time they would have to devote to their
labors. He said he had no personal In
terest in the matter, and was not &C.
quainted with any of the assessors, but
persisted IN the stand he had taken as
simple matter of justice. He compared
the work of the assessors with that OF the
assessors in Providence, where their pay
is much higher than 1t Is proposed to
make 1t in this city.
Alderman Martin moved that the Board
OF Aldermen insist ON the amendment
and the motion was carried by unani-
nous vote. Aldermen jolly and Martin
were appointed delegation to be present
at the next meeting Of the Common Coun-
Gil and explain matters with q view to
securing satisfactory action on the part
of that body regarding the matter.
