Don't Want Kenny.
BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 10.-At the
meeting of the Town Board tonight the
town officials made their reports for the
last fiscal year. after which the matter of
appointing Fire Chief came up for con-
sideratIon. The Peralta Fire Company of
the Fourth Ward, through its presi-
dent, presented communication declaring
Kenny as irresponsible for the position,
and Q. NJ. Murdoch of the Oakland de-
partment also sent a communication
highly recommending Kenny. After lis
tening to both of the communications the
board decided to defer action indefinitely.
This move on the part of the board is con-
sdered practical throw-down for Kenny,

the seven fire companies of Berkeley.

crease in the scholarships awarded to
bows.

this year.
