All the members of the board of
public safety were present at their
meeting in the mayors office last ev-
ening. j. p. Fawcett presided.
/ The most important item of busi-
ness transacted outside of the regular
routine was. the reporting of the grade
OF Henry w. Smith in the examination
for chief of police, held some time
ago. Smiths grade, or average, was
96 1-6, divided as follows: Arithme-
tic, 95; reading, 95; writing, 95; spell
ing, 100; general questions, SO, making
an average of SO 1-6. Smith also has
13 extra points for service. AT the
time Of the; examination Smith was
the only applicant The examina-
tion was held under the auspices of
the board they having propounded the
questions.
Blake moved that the board of pub
lie safety certify for Mayor Turnbull,
the three highest grades on the list
for examination for chief OF police.
Carried.
| This motion was entered because of
the fact that 1t is necessary, accord
ing to the city code of ordinances,
that there be three applicants. The
mayor can then choose from the list.
The names of the two applicants who
had taken the examination under the
other board and received the highest
grades will be submitted. There is
no doubt, however, but that Smith
will be chosen. the other two on
the list not being applicants at the
present time.
