wednesday and Thursday evenings the
police station was In very damp con-
dition, and was no fit place for person to
be compelled to pass the night. 1t was
made doubly uncomfortable from the TACT
that 1t was impossible to have steam In
the building for the very reason that there
was no coal In the building for fuel pur-
poses. The condition of the building and
the fact that certain portions of the police
force were compelled to stay there all
night was noticed by member OF the
City Council who was sufficiently humane
to volunteer to see II the proper authorities
would not furnish some for the purpose.
The Councilman waited upon Councilman
Fales. chsirman of the COMMITTEES on City
Property, and explained the situation and
the urgent need of IRE In the building.
Seemingly Mr.. Fales did not look upon
the project In favorable light In asmuch
as no coal arrived at the station.
When the matter WAS drawn to the at
tention OF the TRIBUNE reporter he waited
upon Mr.. Fales to see II such was the case
Councilman Fales admitted that the mat
ter had been brought to his attention, and
furthermore agreed that 1t was not right.
In explanation, however, he said that he
had been blamed In the past for dispensing
with the usual red tape process, and he
had concluded in the future to let matters
take their regular course. Continuing he
said that there had ought to have been
some temporary place fxed up for the
. police department immediately after the
fire, but he did not wish to take 1t upon
himself as he was not certain whether the
authority to do these things rested with
the Committee on Police or with the Com
mittee on City Property.
In the meantime while the Councilmen
are In doubt the police are compelled to
remain In damp building, when the pur-
chase of half ton of coal would render
the building comfortable.

Herbert Francis Spaulding and Miss
