MAYORS CABINET
HAS TALKFES7
DISCUSSES MANY MATTERS
WITH USUAL RESUlT-NOTH-
ING DOING.

Economy in the designing of public
buildings through the employment OF
q city architect to make all such plans
was the principal topic of discussion
In the mayors second cabinet meet
ing, Friday afternoon. President c. j
George, OF the school board, strongly
opposed such an innovation, declaring

tect, differed with George and thought
city architect would be good
thing
The cabinet agreed that law al.

action along that line viii be taken.
Commissioner Pendleton explained
the planssof the water board for it's

two sets of three engines each, each
Of capacity OF 100000 gallons per

Forest-ave. from Bewick-ave., will
greatly increase the pressure In the
city.

Chemical Co. offering TO put 20 teams
with uniformed drivers at work col
lecting paper and rubbish all over the
city. the city to give it the exclusive
right to do so. The only objection
raised to this offer was in regard to
the receptacles to be used by citizens
for storing such papers and rubbish
and the mayor stated that he under
stood the company would distribute
these receptacles free.
Fire Commissioner Moran inquired
why the Belle Isle bridge is swung
at night. Park Commissioner Hinch-
man blushed and Police Commission
er Smith explained that 1t was to pro-
tect the reputation Of the city--and
the island. One Of the suggestions
made regarding the island was that
the police there be CARRIED In gray
hereafter.
Every city department and board
was represented except the public
lighting commission.
