COP. ALDERMEN
 TO SEEK STATUS

A Monday nights meeting of the board of aldermen tho republican members are planning to ask the police board whether or not the rec gently appointed "acting sergeants' are to receive regular sergeant's pay and if so by what authority. Super- intendent William J. Roach is en- deavoring to get sergeant's pay for tho "actlng sorgeants", but under the charter the aldermen have a veto power in the fixing of rates of pay of members of the police de- pArtment.
 It is likely that when the matter Is brought up 1t will be referred to Q committee, this latter group to confer with the police commissions CTS. Even if the republicans should object to paying tho ''acting ser- geantS" regular Sergennt's pay the democratic majority on the board can override them.
 The charter, tho republican alder men arc pointing out, provides for l4 regular sergeants but there is no provision for "acting sergeants" |, They Hlso plan to ask the police board whether the "acting serg- eants" have only patroimen's au- thority or whether they are em- powered to act with authority of regular sergeants.

 To such men as are skilled in some particular aVocation which might prove of worth in police training Superintendent Roach points as potential material for the police school which will begin in the eerly fall.
