Firemen, policemen and other city
employers that are engaged by the
city for definite time are officials
of the city and do not have to be in
sured under the new workmen's COM
pensation law. So said City Attorney
meeting this morning and he quoted
from the opinion of the attorney
general, whom he wrote to regarding
the question.
The city fathers have been waiting
to get an opinion on this point before
they went into the matter of taking
out insurance for the men employed
by the city. Taking this decision OF
the attorney general into considera-
ton, the council will have prepared
list of the employees of the city
who will have to be insured under
the law. AS the risk on firemel
and policemen is the highest in the
list, this very materially reduces
the cost of the policy.
Payments on Park.
Mayor A. G. Meyer reported that
he had talked with Lorin Cray re-
garding the payments en- Washington
park. This property was originally
purchased under a contract and the
mayor has decided that it would be
more economical for the city to
have this contract cancelled and the
rest of the indebtedness put into the
form of bonds. Whenever there was
any money in the sinking fund, it
could be applied to the bonds where
as it often avs idle in that fund. Mr..
Cray is favorable to the change and
it is probable that his will be done.
A statement presented by S. x.
Fowler showing the recent repairs
that had been made by him on diff
much discussion. Mayor Meyer said
that the matter had not been legally
done, for the improvement had not
been advertised as is required and
anyway he thought that it was loose
way do doing business He favored
having an inspector accompany the con-
tractor and keep track of the improve
ments that are made. John Gerlich,
living in the neighborhood of the
Adams hill, appeared before the
meeting and made objection to the
assessment that had been made when
his side walk had been repaired. The
gist of his remarks was to the eff
feet that the assessment was too
high but as the complaint was enter
ed in the German language, the re-
porter did not get it all.
Cut Pay of Fireman.
Commissioner A. G. Lack, report
ed that one of the firemen of the
station had been injured slightly
about two months ago and the in.
jury was of such nature that he
was compelled to be absent from the
station for the period of one month
When he was able to resume work he
had gone to the city hall and drawn
his full months pay. This action is
not according to the custom of the
station which requires that absent
firemen must hire a substitute and
pay him out of his own pocket. 1t
seems that this employee had en-
gagged a substitute for the period OF
two weeks. At the end of that time
/ the substitute had left and his place
