Board Yesterday

The regular meeting of the police com
missioners was held yesterday morning
Chief of Police Glass reported favor
ably on the application of James Mackle
who desires transfer of his saloon H.
cense from No. 347 to $3.50 South Spring
street. But there was a vigorous pro-
test
Chief Glass stated that Mackle ha6
bought the "Mellwood," at No 347 South
Spring street, and within short time
was compelled to move because the
owner of the building pulled it down to
make room for another structure.
Mackle thought he would be able to Sc
cure lease of the new building, but he
was unable to do so. He has kept his
license fees paid, hoping to arrange the
matter.
There was no charge against
Mackels manner of conducting a saloon,
but upon finding himself unable to Sc
cure his old location he concluded to
cross the street. and there he struck IA
nest of drinkeries. the proprietors Of
which. aided by the business men in the
vicinity, hung up" the transfer by the
protest at issue.
Several speeches were made for and
against the proposition, and the matter
was finally continued for one week

are said to be rather unfriendly to Mr.
Church and his deputy. and the reasons
assigned therefor were given by Mr..
Judkins to a Herald reporter yesterday
afternoon.
LITTLE'S SKINDERGARTEN
Mr.. Judkins unbosomed himself as
follows:
''For quite long time there has been
great dissatisfaction among applicants
for positions as engineers. The men,
old in years and service were unable to
cope successfully with lot, of, younger
men, who seemingly had no trouble in
obtaining licenses to ply their vocations.
The board of examining engineers was
at a loss to remedy matters, and al
though cur questions were not difficult to
answer, none but the young men were
able to pass. Our manner of examin-
ing was like this: We prepared 11o
questions taken from late scientific
works, but which were plain and easily
understood. To the applicant answer
ing thirty-five of the questions correctly
we gave a second-class license. The
applicant who returned proper replies tC
65 questions got a first-class license
while the person answering 80 received a
chiefs license.
''The plan worked very well for time
and there was little dissatisfaction
Finally we noticed that the applicants
answered the questions in precisely the
same language. We quietly investi-
gated matters, and soon ascertained d
that Mr.. Little, Boiler Inspector Church S
deputy, had gotten hold of our list, and
there were Others That is about all
care to say now. Although l have no
war to make on any one personally,
must do my duty. Yesterday we were
confronted with a numerously signed pc
tition to abolish the board. That. of
course, is matter for future considera-
ton.
