Salem Trouble Will Be Re
sumed in Meeting oMhe'
Council, Monday.
(Bslem Bureau ef Tb Jnursal.)
Salem. Or., July 12. The fight over
the attempt of the city council to
abolish the office of police matron la
expected to reach a climax at the coun
cil meeting Monday night. Various wo
men forces of the city are organising
to descend upon the council meeting
en masse. The women of the Jason Lee
Memorial Methodist church are said to
be particularly strong in this move
ment. .
Mayor Steeves stated today he will
veto the ordinance abolishing the office.
ana it is expected his veto will be sus
tained, The mayor also stated that be
will recommend that the council not
only retain Mrs. Lynch as police matron,
but that another woman be appointed
as a regular police officer on the regular
force. . -
The bone of contention is whether the
city charter Is being violated by hav
ing the police matron serve under the
direction of the mayor instead of the
chief of police. In this city the chief
of police is an eleotlve officer and there
is a division of authority.
"It has always been known that the
ordinance providing for a police matron
la -a little irregular - said Mayor
Steeves, "but the police matron haa
been doing good work and there is no
us to Interfere with her now."
The matter has stirred ths women of
the city more than anything that has
come up in a long time.'
