 Already the vitals of politics are working overtime to secure. the places for certain men. A petition headed by Christian Laun, a mem Der of the minority on the board of education, representing a committee of three which in turn represented all of the German societies in town, was read to the board by City Clerk Sandland, asking that they be given a representative on the staff of ser geants.

 Another petition signed by over 300 names, headed by the Rev J. J. Curtin, favoring the appointment of Thomas Cavanaugh for the captain cy of the Baldwin street engine house, was read and filed, as was that which came from the German societies.
 An application from Patrick J. Kelley to be appointed to the super numerary police force was filed, and M J. Horan in communication stated that he had served eighteen months on the supernumerary force and asked to be appointed to the regulars. The communication was filed.
 City Attorney Kellogg communi- cated his opinion to the board that a supernumerary who had done three months duty in the outside districts is eligible for promotion to the regl- lars.

 The Cables building on Harrison avenue was up again. The board heard that the interior walls of the building are not constructed accord ing to the city ordinances, and that the walls of the elevator and ven tilating shafts are not properly pro- tected from fire. It was voted to call for a report on the matter from Building Inspector Chatfield. The board was of the opinion that the s. called non-combustible material used in the building is not non-combusti- ble. ,..
 Patrolman Joseph c. Neagle was examined for promotion to grade c. He answered the usual questions all right, but when asked by the mayor when has a patrolman T right to take a drink of intoxicants, the pd- trolman seemed surprised. After moments hesitation, however, he said a patrolman has right to wet his whistle when he is off duty. He was promoted. Patrick J. Printable was elected to the vacancy in the Leavenworth street engine house, made by the resignation of Hoseman Jeremiah w. Scully.
