Did Not Hold the Position Between
July and July 8.

The controller of the treasury has decided
that w. w. Conner. secretary of the board
of education of the District, was not sec
retary of the board until he was appointed
and qualified as such under the new law
and entered upon his duties as such.
The question came up through an inquiry
addressed by Mr.. Conner to the District
Commissioners and forwarded by them to
Controller Tracewell. Mr.. Conner wanted
to know whether. under the laws governing
the old board he was secretary between
July and July 6, the date of his appoint
ment by the present board.
The controller holds that the law which
abolished the old board>also abolished it's
creature. the secretary. He was not there
fore, secretary from the time the old board
was abolished until the new board went in
and elected him to his old position.

Jig time at the meeting of the city coun-

The order Of business was changed to
make the plans of Police Chief George

nance. The veto was filed and the
Secretary Alexander S. Fowler was ready
to snatch the ordinance and bear it away
to where the mayor waited in his Of
flee adjoining the council chamber. The
ordinance was approved and a communl-
cation from the mayor to that effect
was returned with the signed ordinance
In something less than ten minutes
Ihe Sheets communications were then
read and acted upon and thus the man
who said Ezra never hurried was dis
credited.
Black moved that the council concur

The patrOImen. FernStrOm objected to the
injection of politics into the police and
fire departments. In the case of the po-
lice department, he said, it meant that
the officers would be placed under the
control of the very elements they were
supposed to keep in order.
The CHEERS action vas confirmed by a
straight American party vote. Barns,
