BOARD OF SAFETY
Changed 0rdinance on Age Limit for
 Superintendent of Police.

The department of safety met yes- terday afternoon and put up new safe guards around George NJ. Beach, who will succeed George N. Egan as su- perintendent of the police department beginning October 28. Mfr Beach was elected to the position some time ago, but owing to a hitch in the law which was passed at ethe request of a few sharp republican politicians, it devel- oped that he was not eligible under the new enactment, the age limit keep ing him out, 1t was decided to over come this by an ordinance providing that the age limit should not apply 10 tie superintendent of police This was adopted on strict party vote, Mir Beach being one of the aldermen Who helped force it through. Then the next step was to haze Mir Beach re- sign and be reelected on time to step into Chief Egan's shoes. This was done yesterday, the resignation being accepted, ordered on file and MT Beach reelected in less time than it takes to tell it. Commissioner Moran acted as teller and the scheme went through without hitch. Then the commits sioners breathed easier and after brief rest it was decided to go into ex- ecutive session. The door was then closed and the commissioners got down to business all by their lonesome.
 The board wants to have another talk with Reserve Officer Miles McNiff and cited him to. appear before the board at o'clock Wednesday after- noon. It was said today that there was a likelihood of Officer McNiff be- ing put on the active force by the new administration and that the present board wants to head them off by doing this themselves. Others claim it is the other way and that the aim is to make such thing impossible by ex- polling him from the force if they can do it.
 The case of T. F. Lunny against Superintendent Egan, Sergeant Blake iy and Patrolman Hickey for not mak- ing an arrest when so requested, was set down for hearing next Wednes- day afternoon at o'clock.
 X communication was read from George E. Boyd stating the annual meeting of the state association of fire insurance writers will be held here in November IT and suggesting that the annual parade and inspection of the fire department be held on that date The suggestion was adopted and Commissioner Van Keuren was appointed to make all necessary ar engagements for the affair
 The monthly report of the superln- tendent of police was rendered to the board and was as follows: Whole num- Der of arrests. 210; assault, 4: breach of the peace, 30: common night walker. 1: defrauding, 1; found in a saloon on Sunday. 2; incorrigible, ?; insanity. l; keeping disorderly house, 1; neglect to support family, ?: resistance to officer, 8; theft, 6; theft from person. 1; va grancy. f.; violation license law, l; violation city ordinance, .; violation probation law, 3: violation tobacco law, 1.
