 Charges Against Bolger

Commissioners Ryan and Stanley who compose the committee, will recom- mend that BOlger be arraigned before the board
 The resolution recently adopted by the Common Council requesting the Police Board to irhpart the qualified tions of a patrolman to Patrolman Robert Tate was read, and it was recommended that the matter be sent back to the council and the members of that body told that if they had any charges to prefer against Patrol- man Tate, to bring them in the regu- lar manner.
 The Iruch press agented request for funds for the search of Howard Smith failed to materialiZe. The question was not brought up at all.
 A request that the board appoint number of the employees of the Pleas ure Beach company special officers was referred to the committee on spe cials with the recommendation that they grant the request.
 Summer Uniforms.
 Another resolution was read from the Common Council requesting that something be done, in the matter of summer uniforms for the police ofh- cers. At the present time the traf- fiC department is the only one that is provided with a suitable appearing uniform for the summer and the Council requested that some action be taken that the regular men would not have to go through the summer in the heavy uniforms which they now wear.
 Superintendent Flanagan immedi- ately killed whatever chance the men had of getting a summer uniform by stating that it was bad policy to let an outsider interfere with the se- lection of uniforms for the depart ment as the matter would soon be- come a joke.
 Four special officers were appoint ed at the meeting. Two checks for S25 each were received as donations to the sick benefit society

An ordinance providing for the re- striCting of the prices to be charged by taxi drivers within the city limits was drafted at last nights meeting of the Board of Police Commission CTS. with a recommendation that the ordinance be accepted by the Com m on Council. at it's next meeting. As this meeting will not be held until the middle of August. it is believed that the board will probably delVe more deeply into the matter, and in clude few amendments to the original ordinance before it is sent to the council.
 As the matter stands now. taxi drivers may charge only 50 cents a person, to any point in the city limits between the hours of a. m. and D.. m-
 Between the hours of D. m. and $ m. the charge is $1 a person. The ordinance also makes it clear that there is to be no charge made for luggage. The amendments that will be made will probably provide for certain place where taxi cabs are hir- CT by the hour.
 The present draft also states that the above charge is necessary only when a passenger has been picked up at a railroad. trolley or steam boat terminus, and therefore will not apply to garage owners who are en-

 There were many other matters taken up at the meeting last night, chief of which was the investigation of the alleged altercation which took place at Seaside Park on the night of the municipal fireworks celebra ton between Dr. DeRuyter Rowland, and Patrol Driver Edward Bolger. There have been two complaints received so far by the board concerning this scuf- fle, one from Dr. Rowland and an other from J. L.

Vancouver IS per cent, Edmonton 5 per cent, Winnipeg A per cent, Ottowa 40 per cent. Montreal five per cent
 Montreal, the largest city in Cana da. pulls Town the general average to 35 per cent. for the ten cities. Tax ing into consideration the country dis tricts, it is believed by the census ex- perts that nearly 50 per cent. of the people of Canada own their own owners where the tenant farmer is almost unknown. No better proof of Canada's basic prosperity, it is pointed out, is to be found than this large percentage of home owners among it's citizens.
 The 10 cities covered by the figures range number of reSid enceS from 9 900 to 134,0O0. Of 72 cities in the United States with a population of 100000 or more only. two Des Moines and Grand Rapids-it is de- clared, have a 50 per cent. population of home owners.
