! The committee was In executive ses-
| sion but as far as could be learned last
| night, they have reconsidered some OF
! their previous actions. 1t seems TO be
the opinion OF the members that the diff
ferent city officers do not get too much
| salary and that they VIII not recommend
any change for the present
The committee decided that Chief-of-
Police Lipscomb be relieved OF the duty
Of overseeing the street hands and that
| some other person be selected who can
! devote all OF his time 10 the work.
The report OF the committee will prob
ably be submitted TO the Council tonight.
