 Paicwski Criticilcs Stark q don't know why they pick on this man. He's undesirable and un- wanted, and the people showed that at the polls.
 II Constable Stark has repeatedly | overstepped his bounds. His idea is to scare the people. I move 10 amend that we hold over this matter for an other month and in the meantime look for someone else. l don't care who we get. but not Stark. Its dis grace to the city the way he carried out his duty. The only ones who want him are some of the lawyers"

Nair advised that the movement is not one that is fos- tered only by lawyers He admitted that possibly Stark has overstepped his bounds on some occasions and has been the subject of attack. Alderman ]. Gustav Johnson said he has no dispute with those who say Stark is qualified but he could see no harm In laying the matter over one month.
