main issues, the double shift. the street
car paving proposition and the fire and
police bill. All of these he said had been
tempered with after the amendments left
Omaha.
His presenting of this subject precipitated
a hot debate in which plentiful use of en-
phatic adjectives appeared.
After the various citizens had had their
turn at speaking a resolution was passed
which supported the senate file in the
hands of j. NJ. Tanner with the following
amendments: That the city engineers
office be appointive; that the firemen and
policemen be granted a raise in pay from
the present scale to $50 for patrolmen. $50
for captains, 800 for assistant chief and
sl& for the chief. This was in lieu of Jerry's
scheme for a double shift. Jerry agreed to
the proposed resolution reluctantly.
Further. a street cleaning fund of 5000
was created, provided that not more than
$500 be expended in any one month. In
the qualifications of the proposed board of
fire and police commissioners the restriction
on tobacco dealers and insurance men was
removed. The bill therefore will bar only
saloon keepers, brewers, renters or owners
of saloons and saloon buildings. pool hall
proprletors. managers of dance halls or
theaters and people connected directly with
these places OF amusement.
