Tho suggestion made by Coun
cilmnn Bonham at Tuesday even
ing's council meeting contains
much merit. He suggested that
since the saloon men desired an
ordinance changed so that they
would not he compelled to pay
more than the license fee obtain
ing in Portland for the next six
months, that it would seem like
a good plan to also enter into a
contract with the firemen and
police officers to serve for a cer
tain length of time. Tho value
of this suggestion is realized
when it is known that Portland
must take over all existing con
tracts made by tho city of St.
Johns when merger is effected.
Thus if the city of St. Johns
should enter into a contract with
the firemen and police officers
whereby tho city of St. Johns
agrees to retain their services
for a certain period, they would
bo retained on tho job by the
city of Portland until the con
tract expired, at least. Other
wise all city officials will be un
der the civil Bervico regulations,
and there arc probably so many
qualified applicants ahead on the
waiting list that tho present
firemen and polico officers might
stand a very slim chance of be
ing retained. Such a contract
would insure a paid fire depart
ment and tho full complement An
01 policemen until trie contracts
expire. Tho present policemen
and firemen have been giving
eminent satisfaction, arc resi
dents of St. Johns, and tho peo
ple in general would bo glad to
have them retained. There
should be no reasonable objec
tion to such a contract on the
