Hirschberg States Position.
When the report of the committee
was reached the point of being voted
anon. Mr.. Hirschberg arose to ques-
tion nf personaf privilege. and stated
that, as there had been some public
statements to the effect that he had
personal feeling in his action toward
the resignation OF Mr. Boiling ne

the slightest grounds for such utter

he had been hampered by insufficient
force.

give Mr.. Boiling every chance to show

office to the satisfaction OF the city
Nsnd the board said Mr.. Htrschherg.
Y Beck Stands Alone.
The motion made by Mr.. Whittet
that the resignation of MIR Boiling
be not accepted was voted upon, with
the result that Mr.. Reck's was the

ing resolution, offered by Mr.. Hirsch-
berg was adopted:

detailed statement as to the force
TO put his Office on sufficient basis
for the prompt accomplishment OF
work assigned him, and any other re-
Communications for the betterment OF

The question of procedure was in
formally discussed, and the sense OF
the board was that such action as may

the office. and that 1t would not be
necessary to so t. the council IN
preference TO the matter except insofar
as that body might have TO supply the
funds.
