City Police to
Operate Under
Civil Service
Third man on force
puts regulations in
hands of board .

In future, instead Of electing a
mayor on the basis of who will be-
come the chief of police, the city
has adopted new pan, taking the
police supervision entirely out Of
the hands of the mayor. 40
Under a recently enacted state
law, as soon as a municipality reach
es a sufficient size as to employ
three men on the police force, ii
becomes necessary to install a civil
service department to handle the
situation. The first of the month
the local police force was expanded
to three, John Dickinson having
been put on the job, in addition to
Chief Kershaw and Patrolman For
aker. ..s.. = ls,ss..s.E -.s, S., ssss...
A civil service commission COM
posed of three men was appointed
by Mayor Anon Tuesday night, and
his appointments were confirmed by
the council. p. q. Richmond was
named for the six-year term, c. s
Knowles for a four-year term and
z. r. Behrman for a two-year term
These men viii have complete charge
of the police force and their activ-
tiles, with the men complying with
civil service regulations, set forth
under the state law.
Plans have already been made for
an increase of salary for the police
officials, and provision has been
made in the next years budget for
the increase.

Two Bucks Each
Cost of City Election

Votes were expensive in the recent
city election. 1t cost the city the
price of a war bond to tabulate the
votes in the first precinct-this at
the rate of two dollars per voteI
There were nine votes cast and he
election officials, after spending a
full twelve hours on the job, very
properly put in a bill for eighteen

Other precincts in the city were
not much better, so taking the city

combined with federal appropria-

labor camp for this region for next

chamber of commerce meeting.
Green asparagus has been put on
the governments list Of vital foods
for the coming year and the can
neries are already making prelim-
mary moves toward the securing of
the crops in the district. Prospects
of harvesting labor shortages are
slowing up responses from. the grow
ers and the u. s. Employment serv-
ice is attempting now to make ar
rangements so that growers may be
assured of a sufficient supply for
spring work. +
A committee from the. chamber
met this afternoon with the local
war board where arrangements viii
be made for the action required to
secure the needed labor for the f1ar-
vesting of the early crop.
Cooperation of the local oranges
and other civic organizations will
be needed, Miller reported, in order
to get the project started-and then
only if an appropriation is made
available by the government for a
continuation of the project i
