 In tho Future.

Dr. Frank Zwick presided at the missioners held yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock at City hall. Dr. Zwick reported that there are nine cases being cared for at the tuberculosis hospital and in answer to Mr. Hinch- life stated that they expect some more.

TANGUAY CHOSEN
 NEW PATROLMAN
Appointed in Place of Patrick How. Icy, Rcsigned-No Protection
 For Coasters.

The resignation of Patrick How ley, as a member of the police de- partment, was accepted at n meeting Of the police commission last night. Alfred Tanguay, one of the young members of the supernumerary force, was appointed regular patrolman to fill the vacancy.
 The board discussed the matter of having police protection at several points where coasting is permitted. Chief Rawlings explained that to meet the needs, there are not enough policemen in the department at present as there are from 15 to 20 such places in the city. The chair man of the board was authorized to explain the situation to the common council members.
 The matter of paying the supernu- merary policemen every week, in stead of monthly, was taken up. 1t was found that at present there Is an ordinance which provides that the ''supers' be paid only once a month, and the chairman was authorized to take the matter of a change with the ordinance committee.
 A notification was received from the fire board to the effect that hereafter the department would be unable to supply such articles from the store room as soap, soap powder, etc. It was explained that the supply is low as are the funds of the department. It was also explained that the money received from the police board for these supplies is turned into the gen. eral fund. thereby causing shortage of funds in the fire department. The usual routine bills were ordered paid.
