more of our townspeople repaired to

did not attempt to urge or force my views on
your committee for we appeared to be in perfect

perfectly agreed that we needed Chief of Police;
that he oud be sober, reliable man, that he
must a regulation uniform when on duty;
that he should go on duty about the middle of
the day and remain on duty till time not def
ntely stated, but at any rate till after midnight,
and that he should receive $50 per month. We
were also one in the opinion that such officer
should devote his entire time to the duties of his
office. My opinion has not changed at all since
our conference and have been ready to approve
such action, within "a hours at any time since
the first of May. I believe, gentlemen that your
motive in passing this resolution has been most
laudabe one, the desire to save the borough as
much expense as possible, but trust on further
deliberation, YOU will agree with me that an AS
sistant Street Commissioner is not needed, and
that the appointment of what is prcticably
