To Mayor Fern belongs the honor
of establishing the new office in the
police department, which will be
known as an inspector and instructor
of police. The supervisors declare
that it will work admirably in with
the civil service commission, as the
motive for the office is to have better
drilled and disciplined policemen and
one person upon whom responsibility
can fall for the miscarriage OF an
order.
There will be one Inspector, to be
employed at the salary OF $135 per
month. He will be subject to call at
all times, aud will march the different
squads to their stations at the change
of every shift He will drill them,
Such drilling will not only consist IN
military maneuvers, but in the ans
wering of emergency calls, in attend
ing the injured. And he also will in
struct the officers to the end that
they may be able to answer intelli-
gently the questions of tourists re-
garding the places of interest in the
city.
Mayor Fern has figured the plan
out thoroughly, and the supervisors,
when he discussed it with them, de-
clared 1T was a needed innovation,

by a CHIEF to captain, to relay to
the one who follows him on watch,
if the message is not properly deliver
ed on one can . be held singly to
blame, as one excuse or another abb
solves the captains from blame. But
with an inspector, it will be different.
All orders will be given to him. 1t will
be his duty to see that the order is
rightly dispatched.
With the creation of the civil serv-
ice commission, this is taken as an
other step toward improving the de-
partment. The police officers have
expressed themselves as very CRATE
full to Mayor Fern in fathering the in
novation and have sent their thanks
to the city fathers for favorably act
ing on it.
The appropriation for the band will
be increased $500. This will permit
five new additional musicians to be
obtained, and also will be enough to
permit new uniforms to be ordered
for the players. The increase will
make the band consist of 20 pieces,
two singers and four students.
The old allowance for the promo
ton committee will be made. This
is possible because of the law passed
by the last session of the Legislature
permitting the city to make appropria-
lions in such cases.
The action decided upon yesterday
will be formally put through at the
next meeting.

has been attributed to the large guam.

of Professor Trillat In Paris do not
confirm that theory. He has estab-
1ished that atmospheric depressions
cause putrefying gases-normal Qui-

tain substances, and in support Of his
theory points out that odors Of all
sorts are more permeating after
storms. These atmospheric depres.
sions accelerate the decomposition Of
gases and tend to liberate them.
