In view of the present large amount of speculation as to whether he would ac cept the appointment of Chief of Police.

Acting Chief of Police Gritzmacher has been connected with the department for 50 years, and has held every position, from .patrolman to head of the depart ment. His record is an enviable one.-and he is credited with knowing more people In Portland and more about the city's business than any other officer.

KEPWSES TO PROVIDE SAljARV Council Ways and Means Takes . Ground There Is No Chief. At ItS meeting yesterday the ways and means committee of the Council refused to make any appropriations for the sal ary or chief of police, holding firmly to the position that Inasmuch as Mayor Lane has refused to make any appoint- mcnt. the withdrawing of the salary is Justiflefl. The "alary of the office is $200 a month, which has been drawn tip to thiS time by Acting Chief Gritzmacher, aJthougrh he technically holds the rank of -i.jtniii. to which is attached a. salary or $100 month. Ill Withholding the appropriation for chief, the other members of tllfl Commit tee were opposed by Councilman Rush light. Mr. Rushlight declared that the appropriation should be made, and that the responsibility rests on the Mayor it he violates . the charter by making no appointment. Other members of the committee assert ed that inasmuch as the Mayor had re fused for a year and, one-half to make an appointment, it was time for the Council to take a hand in the matter. It was especially emphasized that the acting: ChlCf gives no bond, whereas the charter provides that the chief shall de posit a bond of SIO.OOO to protect the city against damages from false arrests. It Is believed that there -will be oppo sition to the adoption of the ways and means committee's report without the appropriation for chief of police. It Is practically certain, however, that any ob- jectlon will be useless, as a majority of the Council take the same view of the matter as the ways and means committee.

During a session which occupied the entire day, the ways ana means com mittee of the Council yesterday com pleted the lSOT appropriations for the fire, police, engineer's, health, street cleaning; and sprinkling, street repair and crema- tory departments of the city. As this covers the most important portion or the task before the committee, it is probable the appropriations will be completed at a special meeting- of the committee to be toeld tomorrow morning at IO o'clock. A general advance in wages paid city employes Is the most important feature of the appropriations this year. Although all requests Jor hlsrher salaries were not granted, the pay in the various depart- merits Will On the Whole lw higher than It ever was before.
