WHO'S new Chief?
Mayor Has Not Seriously
Thought of Appointment,
He. States.
ORDERS FROM COUNCIL
Impression Prevails That Executive
Does Not Intend to Have a
Head of Department.

81 have not given the matter serious
thought as yet" Mayor G. w. McCask-
rim replied today when an Argus re-
porter asked him if he had selected
the man whom the council was ex-
pecting him to present for confirma-
ton as head of the police department
at the meeting of next Monday even
ing.
While the mayor would not say pos
itively whether 1t was his intention to
obey the order of the council, the i'm
preston prevails that he does not in
tend to have a chief of the department
during his administration. The may
or, since the beginning Of his term,
has been serving as active
head of the department. He does
not draw any salary for the work,
and has taken the position
that so long as he can conveniently
look after the duties of the office, the
city might a swell be saved the 800
per month that chief would draw.
Required by Ordinance.
Inasmuch, however. as the ordi-
nances require chief Of the depart
ment, the consensus of opinion is that
it is question whether it is wise to
have the city go without a chief or
not Furthermore, while the mayor by
virtue of his office is head of the de-
partment, the municipal code specifi-
cally requires there shall be a chief,
otherwise known as marshal.
The subject does not admit of doubt
that the appointment should be made.
