BY LOUIS H. JAfFE

DHILADELPHIA'S police department Is
l. way I'D in the air, and 1t Is not because
Of the high cost of living or because of the
war 1t has come about this way: Harry
Ramsey perfectly good mlddleweight
boxer until he joined the force and thus
had to retire from professional ranks, has
been aching for a regular bout, and to get
a regular bout ne came out boldly with
def to Les Darcy. To prove how good he
was Ramsey went right along and ad-
mitted that he was the champion of the
police department. Ramsey probably for
got or he didn't care, that Eddie Haney
wore brass buttons and carried club, and
that Haney also used to be boxing man.
Anyway, when Officer Haney got wind of
Ramseys self-accepted laurels. he went up
higher than Georges Carpenter ever did in
his aeroplane, and with him arose lot
of other guardians of the law Now there
is much talk of a match to decide the heavy
weight championship of the police force,
and it may be staged at a local club shortly.
Haney is ordinary policeman. while
Ramsey does traffic duty, but this question
is not raising any rumpus. Who is the
champion cop-boxer is that which is to be
decided

$33O per day; first year firemen, $2.7O per day; second year men, S2.9O per day; and third year men, $3.15 per day.
 Increases granted the police depart ment bring the salaries there up to the following figures:
 Chief, $2,000; captain, S1,7OO; ser geants, S1,450; first year men, $2.75 per day; second year men, $500 per day; third year men, $3.25 per day; and fourth year men, $3.50 per day. The original motion was to increase the chiefs pay to $1.900, but Council man Landers and Mueller argued for $2,O00 as they thought the job was worth it. Councilman Dehm opposed the $2,OOO figure as the safety board had not recommended it and COun- ci1man McDonough also thought 1t best to accept the figures submitted by this board. On a vote Councilman Landers' amendment was passed, those voting for the raise being An derson, Chamberlain, Gould, May Steiner, Curtis, Mueller, Wall, An drews, Arata, Richards, McCabe and Landers. Those voting no" were Jester, Stadler, Paonessa, Iverson, Dehm, IIichstaedt, Spencer, Olson, Merriman, Owziac, Tomaszewski and McDOnough.
 The motion of Councilman O. F. Curtis, passed at the last council meeting, voting that the legislature be requested to attach a referendum to the charter amendments approved by the council and vetoed by Acting 1 Mayor M. I. Jester was taken up for 1 consideration. In his veto the acting | mayor stated that he believed such 1 action would result in the committee
 on cities and boroughs refusing to act | on any of the charter amendments
 and certain of them, rne transfer ot 1 school funds and the city court are 1 imperative. The council sustained
 the veto.
 Mayor Quigley reported his veto oI " B. Chamberlain's resolution pro. viding that the board of public work:

sufficient for the working of Wooster street to the grade adopted by the council, from West Main to Steele street. The mayor set forth his rea- sons as follows: My reason for dis approving is in the interests of econ omy. In view of the high cost of la Dor I do not believ~ 1t should be the policy of the city to engage in work which may be done later at a consid- erable saving. The veto was sus- tained.
 The city hall commission reported it's approval, in conjunction with that of the committee on printing and sup plies, of the resolution of the Southern New England Telephone company asking permission to place a pay sta- ton and telephone booth in city hall where the city hall commission shall designate.
 Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper recommended that the council pay S25 to Archille Talbot, in full settle ment of all claims, especially for in juries received from a fall on the sidewalk on Stanley street on Febru- ary 21, 1916. The council accepted
New Britain herald., 1917-02-22

the report and authorized the comp troller to draw his order for this amount.
 Petitions were received and prop erlv acted upon from the board of public works as follows: From J. J. Watson. for a catch basin in front of No. 26 Pennington avenue; from seven Brook street residents, for sewer in that street; from Joseph G. Woods, for permission to move 8 frame dwelling house situated at 294 Pond street to 239 Brook street. The building is to be moved by G.. H. Wooding. Said building is to be placed about 60 feet from the street line and with a space of about 40 feet from a building on either side. Said building will occupy the streets men toned for about one and one half days; from Thomas Sheehan, J. J. Donahue and E. o. Kilbourne, for the lowering of the water main in Francis street. At the present time the main is only two feet below the surface of the street and causes great inconvenience to property owners by freezing, the petitioners said.
 Other petitions were received as fol- lows: From E. O. Kilbourne, to ex- tend the water main in Park drive from Francis street to Highland Ter race; from William R. Fenn, to locate a gasolene pumping station at the curb in front of 542 Arch street, near Locust street, tank to be placed un- derground in yard at said location; from William J. Hoffman, B. O. Kill bourne and thirteen others, to resur- face Francis street from Stanley to Carlton street; from Edward F.
