Tho matter wns brought up by Councllmnn Winkler reporting in fnvor of hiring an additional man, of keeping tho flro department and po lice departments separate nnd recom mending that Cordon Smith bo en gaged for the place. Councllmnn Ferguson objected. Baying that ho was In favor of leaving things as they are. lie said that there wns no reason why tho man nt the city Mnli should not do police du ty there and nsolst the police. Ho suld furthermore, that ho had never Intended that the firemni, should be required to do police duty all over the city ns some claimed. Councilman Wlnklur nnniod ngnlnst this nnd finally Mayor Straw iook a mini . lie mild t lint Im fnvoroil hiring another engineer for the fire department but that ho wanted a iiuin who was In sympathy with the admin istration and wllllim to do what wns best for tho city.

Ho said thnt Kn glueer Stiitsmnii hnd always shown a disposition to nsslst the police nnd displayed tho proper spirit. Ho said that W. (1. Lnwhorno was another city employe who did likewise. Fur thermore, ho said that Instead of sit ing nrounu nun trying to kill time, It would bo a good thing for tho ad ditional engineer to have something to do.

Councllmnn Winkler talked In fn vor of the raise and declared that tho people would vote It If they had the chanco. Wo snld that a man who did as much work ns Marshal Carer did really deserved It. He said that If necessary, it would he n good thing to let one or two of the other officers go and give .Mar shal Carter their salary, as be did the work. He said that $I2T. was only n reasonable salary. Councllmnn Albrecht wauled to know wnnt councilman wiiiKier was paying tho man employed In his store. Councilman Winkler did not stnte and Mr. Albrecht said Mint assuming thnt the druggist got $7". per month, $!)0 ought to bo good pay for nn officer.
