Al the suggestion of Mayor Ainslie
committees from all the city depart

Captain Mccarthy said he thought
the city would do well To appropriate

sary. to send to all the points of the
compass, SO that real men might he

said that he did not think any of the

I'VE ought to hire a man who knows
all about hydraulic pressure. or what
ever you call it, said Captain McCar-
thy. THE men we have in our de-

Il think we should get q good man

THAT is exactly what this commit

must lead up to that point. Why
should we hire man now? why not

II think" replied Captain Mills,
that the men We have at the head
of our departments are probably AS
good as any you may find anywhere
else in the United States. We have

elsewhere to get men to investigate
