any action against McCaslin, but
at the same time felt that they
should back up the police commits
sioner In his opinions.
H. w. Fawcett. mayor and chair
man of the council, said, ITS al
ways seemed to me Mac is willing
to work and do what he is told"
Fred Gianola. taking the leader
ship in open minded discussion, re-
marked that "the whole five OF us
ought to get some man in there
and let him run il. If We listen to
fellows on the outside We'll never
get anywhere"
Clements. without mentioning
names, scored certain officers still
retained on the police force. off
GERS who walk up and down Broad
way taking a drink at every place
they come to have no place on the
force" he said.
One charge made by Clements
was that McCaslin has failed to
back up his men in some of the ar
rests they have made. He cited
the recent arrest of q man, on q
charge of being drunk and disturb
ing the peace by Atkinson. Charges
against the accused were later dis
missed after he had demanded a
jury trial.
R. E. Couch expressed his will
ingness to back up any reasonable
changes recommended by the police
commissioner in the police depart
ment. 1t was Couch who suggested
that McCaslin and Clements work
together for q month in an effort
to settle their differences.

The suggestion was made that
McCaslin be given authority over
his police force, and that Clements,
In turn, have authority over Nc

Gianola was responsible fer the
suggestion that members OF the

street talk, go to McCaslin and to
members of his force who may have
some grievance against him, in Or
der to get to the bottom of the
matter.
