POLICE COMMISSIONERS.

Mayor Paff presided at called meet
ing of the Board of Police Commission
ers last night. All the members were
present.
The meeting had been called for the
purpose OF electing a first lieutenant to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death OF Lieutenant James Smith. Mr..
b. f. Belts, who has been acting as
second lieutenant for some time, was
selected by the unanimous vote of the
board.
The selection of a second lieutenant
was deferred until the next regular
meeting Of the board The members
are not agreed as 10 the need OF such
an officer, and the validity OF the posi-
ton was questioned, the charter pro-
viding only for the election Of a chief
and lieutenant.
Mayor Paff was in favor OF dividing
the force into three squads of six pri-
Yates each, the squads to be in charge
of sergeants. 1t was left to the mayor
TO desinate private to relieve the chief
and the lieutenant until the board takes
some definite action. Today the mayor
designated Officer Roberts TO act as
second lieutenant.
Mr.. William Schoeni was elected a
member OF the force to fill the vacancy
existing in the number Of policemen.
There were two other candidates
James SilIicks and Edward Deahl, the
latter a former member Of tie Culpeper
police force.
The appointment OF a substitute po-
Iiceman was subsequently discussed by
the board This, it was pointed out,
would be no additional expense to the
city, as the substitute would draw the
pay of the policeman who might not be
performing duty.
Lieut.. Belts was summoned before
the board, and informed Of his promo
ton. Mayor Paff told him that the
force had not been working TO the sat
isfaction of the board recently, but that
he attributed this to the fact that there
had been considerable illness among
the men. He expressed the hope that
there would be no further cause for
complaint. Lieut. Belts assured the
mayor and the board that he would do
his part toward bringing the force up
to the requirement.
Mr.. Schoeni was also summoned be
fore the board and informed OF his
election.
Later the board adjourned.
Officer Roberts has frequently acted
AS lieutenant of the force and has filled
that place to the satisfaction OF all.
