lice officer except on special occa-
sions. His salary will remain at
$112.5O per month but his hours will
be heightened.
The move to save the expense of
day police is an experiment and it
may be necessary to hire man for
day work later, the council agreed.
Mr.. Japs also served as street COM
missioner which duties will be added
to the work of Thomas Seifert, wat
erworks superintendent, who was re-
tanned at his present salary, $3.50 per
month.

board with no salary. Leon H.
Brown was named city attorney and
F.. H. Anthony was re-appointed city
engineer. Both men receive fees
rather than salaries.
F. B. Forbes, recently reelected
city recorder, was given a salary Of
$500 yearly as bookkeeper for the
water department and 500 for re-
corder. This is cut Of 500 over
previous years. DIR. C. C. Cherry was
appointed dairy Inspector at reduce
ton in salary from 5000 to 500 a
year. Joseph Corbett, chief of the
fire department, was reappointed at
a salary of $50. He received 500 in
previous years. r
Licenses for theatres and dance
permits were left at the same price,
81 and $6s7 was allowed the fire de-
partment for the work during 1882.
The fremen payroll was over 5000 a
year ago. The State Bank and Trust
company was re-designated as the
depository for city funds.
After long discussion, the council
voted to continue the city rest room
from month to month at $50 month.
The rest room cost the city $40 a
month last year.
Because the Commercial club has
committee investigating script
money and other organizations are
talking of the plan, Mayer H. D.
Thorp appointed w. L. Hardy and j.
F. Knudson, councilmen, to investi-
gate the move and meet with other
committees on the matter.
Mr.. Hardy, councilman elected last
year, was unanimously elected vice
president of the organization. Com
mittees appointed are: ways and
means, Mr.. Knudson and Mr.. Hardy;
street committee, George A. Patton
and John Brueske; sewer and water,
Mr.. Hardy and Mr.. Knudson; fire,
