WANTS SOME CHANGES
In the HiIl Fixing tho Salary of tho
Police Justice.


commemorative Attorney Baum has
returned from Richmond. where lie has
been to suggest some changes in the
bill offered by MIR. Cooke. fixing the
salary of the Police Justice In this
city at $4,000 per annum. The changes
suggested by MIR. Baum are that the
bill also provide for clerk to the Po-
lice Justice at n salary of 500 a month:
that as the present police justice went
into Office under the fee system, that
the place continue as n present till July
LIST. 1886, when the next Justice goes into
office: that the Police Justice be made
a bonded officer and settle directly with
the State Auditor instead of as at pres
ent, which would save TO offenders
against the law $1.25 whenever a fine
Is imposed. which amount is now COL
lected from Offenders and paid to the
Clerk OF the Court for transmitting the
fine to the Auditor the Clerk sometimes
getting sl.25 for transmitting a 81 fine
Mr.. Baum is also trying TO have the
social club hill now before the Legisla-
ture amended so as to make the rooms
places" for social clubs and bar-keepcrs
as unsuitable persons" for officers for
such clubs. This change is suggested
in order to XIII off the numerous social
clubs that are simply adjuncts of bar
rooms. and do Il rushing Sunday bust
ness.
Other changes In the law will be sug-
gcsted by Mr.. Baum TO meet defects
that he has observed as Common
wealths Attorney.

Il when told
At the station-house the officers
claimed to know nothing as to the
proceedings of the board. and one of
the interested parties said at . o'clock
that he had not been notified of any
action of the board in which he was
directly Interested
The meeting of the Board was held
at the usual hour and Mayor Petit
was In the chair. Messrs. Verdier and
Bolton were both present.
The open meeting-to which newspa-
per reporters were admitted--was of
short duration.
The first business before the board
was the consideration OF a written re-
quest from Mr.. l.. Clay I<llby, treasures
of the Epworth League Church, asking
that the Police Commissioners swear In
their janitor a white man) rs a. special
officer 10 protect the church property
etc. The board acquiesced in the mat
ter. and directed the clerk to direct the
janitor to appear before them and thai
they would appoint him.
Then the reporters were asked to re.
tire. and the executive session was
held. 1t was behind these closed doors
that the action was taken which will
cause so much comment to-day. TIL.

doors were opened II was announced
