SUPERVISORS, IN SUNDAY CAUCUS,
Plan MUCH IMPORTANT BUSINESS
Committee and Mayor Ferns Suggestion for Police In
spector Meets Approval of Meeting - Formal Action at
Next Session

Holding an important caucus in
their chambers at the city hall, the
supervisors passed on the appropria-
'tions for the different departments
yesterday, planning several important
changes in the disposition of the
county money for the next six months,
establishing new office in the
police force, increasing the allow
ance for Kappeilmeister Berger's
band, rather than diminishing it, as
had been feared, and voting to re-
store the appropriation for the promo
tion committee. The meeting began
at 10 o'clock in the morning and did
not adjourn until after noon.
Many important and long-argued
matters were brought before the
caucus and finally disposition plans
made the Democrats carrying OUT
the polic3 ttey inangurated when
they took tffice. Though the spirit
of economy ruled. and applications for
increase cf wages were voted down,
the appropriations during the coming
