COUNCIL MAY ACT ON
THE SUBJECT TONIGHT

City Council this evening most
likely will consider a resolution TO
rescind the measure passed several
weeks ago authorizing the appoint
ment of seven additional policemen
for the proposed traffic squad This
action may be necessary, il having
been learned that the resolution
adopted by Council was not ia con-
formty as to verbiage with the char
ter laws of Wilmington
when the attention of City Solicitor
Hastings was brought to the matter
yesterday. he requested a copy of all
the Council minutes at which refer
ence TO the new squad was made.
These were sent to the City Solicitors
Office. After having from several
sources had the resolution called to
his attention, City Solicitor Hastings
sent word to w, II. Bowers, president
OF the Police Commission. asking him
TO meet him today. This Mr.. Bowers
did, a conference being held by the
two officials in Mr. Hastings office
this morning
Solicitor Hastings informed Mr..
Bowers Of the opposition to the or
dinance and said he thought Mr.. Bow
ers, as head of the Police Board,
should be aware Of these statements.
Mr. Hastings offered no opinion as TO
the legality of the ordinance, he not

relative to the making of such APP
pOintments: (which police force may
be increased by the said board from
time to time, provided there is passed
by a majority vote of the City Coun-
Gil a resolution recommending the

The opposition to the ordinance
hinges on the word recommend

used instead of the word author
led" in Councils resolution The
ordinance passed read as follows:
"Be it resolved by the Council oi
Wilmington: That the Board of Polio,
Commissioners be. and they hereby
are authorized to increase the police
force of the City of Wilmington bs

This resolution was passed by Coun
