Police Board Decides TO Change
the System.
COUNCIL TAKES A HAND
Commissioners Ordinance Doinq
Away With Office Of Sergeant and
Providing for Station Keepers
Amended in Spite Of Protest
Doinq

The contest among half a dozen of
the police officers who want TO fill the
vacancy caused by the recent reSigna-
ton Of Sergeant c. B. Crafford has
been settled by the police board. The
present system is TO be changed and
no successor to Sergeant Crafforl will
be elected
The board proposed to elect two
station keepers, one to receive SO and
the other S65 per month The plan
was to relieve the sergeant on duty at
night Of actual duty at the station
house and to have the chief attend to
the duties of a sergean in the day. In
the opinion OF the board this would
improve the system and would nor
create additional expense.
An ordinance prepared by the board
was offered by Councilman Brown at
the meeting OF the council last night.
This ordinance provided for the
changes contemplated by the board. a
motion to suspend the rules and con-
slider the measure at once was voted
down. but afterwards reconsidered
and the rules We're suspended.
Mr.. Brown moved that the ordinance
be adopted as read. Mr. Wilkins made
an amendment amending the ordi-
nance SO as TO give the station Keep
ers $50 per month each. There was a
| lively argument over this and Chair
man Holmes, OF the police board, was
| asked to make statement.
Mr.. Holmes asked tl.at the ordinance
be thrown out entirely il it could not
be passed as it was introduced He
went on to say that the oldest and best
men in the department would BE made
station keepers and that it was right
that they should receive a fair salary
He also called attention TO the fact
that the station keepers would have
to work twelve hours each day
Mr.. Wilkins amendment was car
ried by a vote OF I TO 6. Ayes-Chris-
tie, Davis, Harris, Llewellyn, Via,
Washburn and wilkins; nays-Ballen-
tine Brown. Livezey Morgan and Mar
shall.
The ordinance in it's amended form
was then adopted as a whole.
The police board will meet Thurs
day night. but only routine business
Will be transacted 1t IS probable that
a fight will be made to have the ordi.
nance as passed by the common council
amended by the board of aldermen
