of police commissioner of this city are
Incompatible with the duties Of direc
tor or owner of street car line of this
city; therefore be it
Resolved. That the position of police
commissioner of this city now held by
Charles Forman be declared vacant.
This resolution was seconded by Coun-
Gilman Grider. when Councilman Math-

the resolution be filed, which motion wac

parks and the market master. He in

caused by General Forman, and that the

charges are substantiated, then ma

moved.

trouble had been caused by General For

Forman had not been put on the COM
mission by the Democrats, and he
