COMMISSIONERS HURT
OPPONENTS BUSINESS
ConCcl City Insurance Policies with
Republican Firms in Favor
OF Democrats.

Still deadlocked on important city
appointments and unable TO dis
tribute its political "pie," the Demo-
cratic road roller at tho city hall got
together yesterday and took another
bit OF custard from the mouths OF
tho Republicans.
The city commissioners arc still
at loggerheads as to how the plums
shall be distributed In their own
family. but they are all agreed that
as little as possible shall be retained
by the Republicans.
On line with this adopted policy,
the new commissioners fell to Mt
their adjourned meeting yesterday
morning and cancelled 1000
worth of policies with Republicans
on the new city hall and took out
new policies with Democratic agents.
The policies cancelled were car
ried by Brink & Kramer. OF which
firm former Commissioner A. w.
Brink is the senior member. and by
Carr & French. Each firm was cut
$4,000 In the amount OF their poll
cies, and these we're given to
Charles Il. Abbott and two other
Democrats.
There was disposition 10 also re-
lieve Brink & Kramer and Carr &
French of some OF the $4,000 in
surance they were recently given on
the new city garage and warehouse.
but Commissioner Curran and Mayor
McNulty thought enough had been
taken from them I'm cutting their
policies on the city hall.
I'VE don't want 10 be unfair and
are willing 10 give them their share"
said the mayor, "but we are not GO
ing TO let them hog 1t ALL"
SIN Fight over Spoils.
Appearances are that tho commits
sloners are hopelessly split on the
three most important appointments
chief OF police, city attorney and
Judge OF the municipal court AL
though each OF them announced last
week that all the appointments
would be announced Mt Tuesdays
1t came and passed and two
other adjourned meetings followed,
but still no appointments have been
made Meantime the Republicans are
holding on with a prospect of serv-
ng several days yet.
With Mayor Hubbard at home I'm !
bed from Illness. the four commits
'ioners on the Job find themselves |
,venly divided with Curran and New
block standing together against Act
ng Mayor McMNulty and Police |
Commissioner Bohn.
There is no prxpect Of break in
he deadlock, II scebs until Mayor
hubbard RECEIVERS sufficiently TO
permit his attendance at a meeting
unless city Attorney John Wood
.rd should repeat his famous stunt
f dcalinE himself hand and cast
ng the mayors vote.
