It waa shown that he acted as in pector for the bureau of San Francisco Insurance compajilea before he waa ap pointed a deputy fire marshal, and that he still holds this position, council man Burgard said Deputy Roberts po sitlon with the Insurance companies has no connection with bis official posi tion with the city. Action regarding the creation of the rMre of Assistant Chief of Police was deferred. the efficiency of the department seri ously In meetlns; the demands of the public for protection. Inasmuch as I have but about ! men to fill all branches of the service. -In my estimate for conducting the department for 1I1 I have asked for a muchffeded Increase in the numeri cal strength of the department, and If this procedure would cause me to re ceive a leas number of men or If It will reduce the wages or lengthen the hour of the men. I do not approve of It. otherwise I would recommend that It be passed, provided that It be amneded to read 'patrolmen and all other employee of the police depart ment." ' The police vacation question came up bejor the wsys and meana committee at Its meeting yesterday afternoon, but no action waa taken on it- Councilman Daly insisted that every man Is en titled to one day off a week, and aald he does not believe the needs of society require any citizen to work seven days a week. Councilman Burgard said If the sala ries were fixed on the basis of men working seven days a week, they should not be given six days a week at the same salary. Councilman Menefee said there are no funds available for em ploying extra men. Councilman Wal lace declared he did not think the re quest for two days off a month origin ated with the men. Acting Chief Slover asserted that tha only way he could comply with such a provision would be to let balf the force off one Sunday and half the next. Ha aald he believed tha result would be that crimes would be committed Sun days by criminals that they might avoid detection. ! HOSPITAL LAW BURIED CHIEF SLOVER ASKS COO'CIL TO MAKE PLACES REPORT.
