POLICE DEP ARTMENT.
Appointments, Promotion and Disci-
pine

@Iu some ways, the control over
appointments and promotions appears
to be the most important matter in
connection with the management Of
the police department. 1t Will be
placed first in this summary or rec
concentrations All appointments tn
the police and IRE departments should
lie made only as the result of a COM
petitlXe civil service examination The
chief should be selected as a result
Of n competitive civil service promo
tional examination and, in order to
protect him against arbitrary removal
he should he given the right Of an
appeal to q court OF record upon dis
misssl
The police force appears to be
large enough At present and by a
Encouragement OF patrol posts and the
adjustment of special details. the
number of men available for patrol
can he increased materially.
AL promotions in the police and
fire departments should be made only
from one rank to the next as result
If competitive civil service promotion

*The mayor should he given power
to drop from the roll any member OF
the police department who, after serv-
ing a probationary period of SIX
months. IS deemed unfit for tho ser
vice and no appeal should bg allowed
to dismissed probationary policemen.
Instead of having q physician EN-
pfoyed on a fee basis. the position
Of saiaried medical officer to the po-
lice and IRE departments should be
established and the law should re-
Quire that appointment to this post
ton be made only as q result of com
patittYe civil service examination.
The medical officer would conduct
physical examination OF ell police
men and nremen prior to their ap-
pointment and also at the end OF their
probationary period. An annual ply
sical examination Of all the members
would be m excellent innovation that
would tend to keep the men in good
condition
All applicants for appointment to tina

To secure more equitable valua-

That the position OF secretary and

the position of chief clerk established.
That the moneys collected as costs

Fire Department.
. While q careful examination of the
fire department by a board of comnis-
sioners indicates that the members
are faithful in their attendance al
meetings and Interested in their WORK,
the weight of experience in other com
rnunities is against the administration
OF a highIy-technical service like a
fire department by board oc ommis-
sioners The powers conferred by
charter upon the board tend TO- re-
move the department from the re-
rnainder of the government and thus
to prevent close cooperative relation.
The work of the board divides 1t
self into two main parts. one. the
purchase of supplies. and the other,
control over appointments. promotions,
transfer and dismissals. The making
OF purchases is a function which be-
longs to a central purchasing agent

Is recommended elsewhere In this re-
port, appointments and promotions
should be made as the result OF com
petitive civil service examination, while
the transferring of ffrcmen and their
officers Is "A function which should be
exercised by the chief of the depart
ment. The main operation of the fire
department should be made under the
direction OF the chief who should be
selected because of expert technical
training and experience. Consequently
the department could best be admin
istere If placed under the supervision
Of the mayor OF central executive To
whom the chief would be directly re-

 It is hard to think normally and rationay in a world at, but it is very necessary. We know that We have duty to perform home just others who have been torn from their homes have duty to perform abroad
 Our very evident duty just lies in direc- tions, to produce and conserve food and take as many Liberty bonds afford. The Salt River Valley has done wonderful work in produc- ton and believe it will do sA9en conservation and bond buying. NEN+

If blood is thicker than the royal families of the other side must be suffering family of the keenest for nearly all of the royal who hummer about figureheads for the brains of government related to each other. It may be called that in MT. Brttlng sees it Through the old aunt accounted for the by explaining that when the boy Wilhelm had paid visit to his relative Queen Victoria, he had been spanked for some child ish prank just a nephew in any other family might be chastised when he is naughty According to the tale Wilhelm thereafter cherished a desire to spank" the entire English nation in in trying to reach this height of ambition is having rather bad time of it.
 Germany loaned out a king for Greece who has been returned thanks and another relative of the kaiser is said be spending the winter in the northern part of Russia, presumably his health. Austria is bound to the Teutonc empires by ties of blood and the proclivty of the Turk for bloodettng may have something do with his combining in the inner circle.
 Thus the becomes a merely family squabble which the family, where it any authority a ruling faction, stands fine chance of losing the same.
 While the kaiser is closely related to the present royal family England this did prevent his em- barking n,a ruthless war for world mastery in which his English relations lined up against his pro- gram of waste and destruction.

 Higgins had made accusations of improper actions between his bride of few weeks and McDaniels. He alleged that the honeymoon was not over before the other affair was well under way. When the case came up in court, however, no evidence was forthcoming.
