NO MEETING IN SEVEN MONTHS
Police Board Has Little Business Just
Now.

1t is quite. evident that the Americas
board of Police Commissioners is not
an overworked body, or else that there
is little business to command their at
tention. The rules prescribe that
meetings shall be held monthly, and
oftener If necessary, at which tune re-
ports shall be filed and the business of
the police department investigated.
But so far from holding meetings
monthly this august body has not held
a regular session in nearly seven
months, or since July 9Th 1900. II
nothing has TRANSFERRED in that long
time worth investigating, it is fair to
presume that nothing will ever hap
pen hereafter, and this useless body,
the Police Commission, might now be
dispensed with altogether.
