Dahlman and Colonel Fannin have
camped on the trail of the Douglas dele
cation for almost twenty-four hours and
left for Omaha this Afternoon feeling well
pleased with the progress made toward
securing a mayor appointed police board of
Omaha. In fact, the mayo. has almost
soldily lined up the house delegation.
though so far the senators are inclined to
buck him.
i favor an appointive police board for
omaha, said the mayor because am
satisfied the city will get a better class of
men than it will IL the board is elected. I
would go further and insist that the city
engineer should be appointed by the mayor.
In TACT, the city attorney should be ap-
pointed, but inasmuch as this officer is
now elected, 1T is perhaps well enough to
let That part OF the charter alone.
L am particularly interested In the ap-
pointive police board. II the legislature
provides for an elective board the brewers
will absolutely dominate the board because
few men of standing in the city will 60 to
the trouble of securing a nomination and
then an election for the salary which goes
with the place.
l. the mayor appoints them. then he is
absolutely responsible. But 1 will say this.
l would rather have the governor appoint
than have an elective police commission.
The elective commission means that the
nremen and the police will be dragged into
politics at every election. For ten years
the fire department has been out Of poll
tics and it would be the worst thing that
could happen for the efficiency OF the de-
partnent II 1t is again dragged into politics.
The same is tue OF The police department.
