ton, but it did show that the new
Commish was down in the collar and
pulling on the harness. After the min
utes of the previous meeting and the
reports had been read and approved,
as is customary, the newly appointed
Captain of Police, w. S. Crawford,
stepped forward and told the Commits
sioners that in either 1911 or 1912 a
resolution had been passed allowing
police officers one day off a week,
which they had received, until August
Is, 1920, when a resolution was passed
which made them work seven days a
week. Crawford asked, in the name
of the others on the force, that if they
had to work seven full days a week,
that they might be paid extra for the
other day. The Commissioners will
hold a conference and discuss the mat
ter.
Mayor Smith asked the solicitor if
money from dog licenses and so forth
wasn't put aside in other towns to
pay for damages done by dogs whose
owners are unknown, and if Wild
wood shouldn't do something of the
kind, in view of the occurrence of a
couple of weeks ago when the city had
to pay for some chickens killed by a
dog or dogs. Mr.. Hand said hat such
was the custom. A special fund will
be createdphereafter with this money.
