That Fourth POlicem an

7 ~AA~SAAAe1AA.
The fact that there are now four
policemen bothers the Transcript
and some Others exceedingly. From
the noise they make, one would thin k
tue. council had d one a terrible thing
in authorizing four policemen, and
that the mayor had committed high
treason in appointing another Of
ficer. 1t is asserted that as it was
not polite some months ago for tw O
OF the aldermen to vote for anothe r
officer, detective was employed.
AS far as the vote of the aldermen is
concerned, the transcripts opinion
is of no value, as it is known to be
antagonistic to them The may or
employed man to do detective e
work. He did it satisfactorily, aud
was paid. $88 for it. In doing this
the mayor was doing nothing new.
The city council on Dec. 1, 1897, al
lowed a bill of Mayor Tanner for a
special watchman, in the sum of
$1,000. Mr.. Tanner receipted for
the order 3ext day. That watch
man was put on with the consent of
the council, as was the man put on
by the present mayor. The Tran
scripts permission vas not asked in
either case. The transcripts state
q; a'.,llt7441Aout w.t. a. IDEAL arranged" is
based dngtEestimony from source SO
disreputable as not to deserve notice.
The people of this town, by a
great majority, are in favor of four
policemen. A petition for four Of
ticers was presented 70 the council
April Z, 1896, in which it is said that
the t'best interests Of the city require
four police'-"The city owes the en-
tire population protection" etc.
