At n special meeting Of the City

narks In the course Of which he said
4. found the duty Of appointing the
>Dumlttees somewhat dlsagreeable
sk He had consulted with prominent
namhers of both the great political
,art,es respecting the matter and the
rsensus of opinion was that the COM
mntees should be made up of those
opmprIslng the party In power Inc
20 NJ last November had elected
Republican Mayor and a Republican
council. 1t was natural to presume
nat the heads Of departments to be
yet named by the clty's chief executive
4 you'd be all Republicans That being
M case wisdom and economy sug-
rested the naming OF committees that
&ould work in harmony with these de-
mar, ments. In making up the list OF
cpmmittees he had endeavored to be
"a In and impartial. a number OF the
committees. II was true, were OF minor
hnnortance. and while he could have
riven the craftsmanship Of such to
members representing the minority, he
PERSONALLY felt ii would have been an
INSULT had he done SO. After carefully

OFFICER DILLON'S DEATH.
Chief Of Police Hilton sent in a COM
notifying the Council Of
Police officer Dan Dillons death. II
read as follows;
Il very much regret having to report
to you the death Of one Of our most
efficient officers, Mr. Dan Dillon. who
died Thursday evening at 1870 o'clock
OF pneumonia, after only few days
Illness. Mr.. Dillon has been connected
with the department the past seven
Years. and In all this time he has at
tended strictly 10 his duty, and the de-
partment viii miss his services very
much. Owing 10 this fact, and that he
has left q widow and family who We're
dependent on him for support, | think
y only proper that the city contribute
20 paying his funeral expenses and doc
FOR bills. Therefore. | recommend that
Pie sum Of $3.50 be placed on the appro-
Briatlon list 10 the Mayors contingent
Fund, that his honor, the Mayor, may
pay these bills.
II also recommend that the sum OF
10, his salary for the month Of January,
p made payable TO Annie Dillon, his
Eife"
Chief Hilton also submitted a draft
pr resolutions deploring the sad affair
end suggesting that they be adopted
by the Council.
Robertson moved that the sum OF $3.50
Pe placed on the appropriation list to
FoVer funeral expenses and an addi-
Vonal $50 in payment Of the deceased
pihcers salary for the month Of Janu-
pry. Hartenstlen seconded the motion,
Speaking TO the question Robertson
said Dan Dillon became sick while on
putty. 1t could be truly said OF him
fhat he died in the harness, at his post
and the least the city could do under
Pie circumstances was to make the APP
preparation. The motion carried by
b unanimous vote.
On motion Of Robertson the resolu-
tlons were referred TO the committee on
police and prison, with instructions ,
craw them up In proper form and for
ward the same to the family OF de-
