INTEREST INCREASES
Each time there is mention made on tho
Streets. in reference to the two bodies Of
men recently elected to make laws for
Manchester. there seems to be a growing
feeling that for the betterment of the
city there could be nothing wiser than
separating the Offices of Chief of Police
and City Engineer, taking two officers to
do what one now does. Captain Lips
comb has for many years been doing the
work of both. and there is no dlscredlt
to him when the change is asked for.
From talking to few of the Assembly.
men and the Aldermen. it is learned that
this will be one of the first things done
by the two bodies. Possibly this move
is given more color, or weight, by the
fact that the Board of Health says its
recommendations are not being attended
to as promptly as could be expected The
work Of looking after the city carts, clean
ing the Streets. seeing that the garbage
is promptly carried out, attending the
surveying of the land. where there is
to be a house erected and the numerous
other things, some think enough to conf
pletely take up the time of one man. For
Chief of Police, it seems on the other
hand to be position which would not
allow of much idleness. if a person want
ed to rid the city of every criminal.
For the latter position the name OF
Officer Wright is being mentioned very
freely. Mr. Wright is not an asplrant
for the position, and will not accept I'M
less ,.le people want him there. This
is, of course. provided the change is
made and Captain Lipscomeb accepts
the position of City Engineer:
