CAUCUS LAST WEEK No Sanitary Inspector's Oliice Created FiA Vote 8 to 6 Against It The city council last night passed from tho old to the new without a hitch and the new session was only enlivened by au effort to reduce the police force from six men to four men. All of tho dozen applicants who were after the job as snnitury inspector were present 09 well as a large body of thcit supporters but the bone of contention was removed by painless extraction and there will be no sanitary inspector this year except 0110 of tho polico officers who will be detailed to this job. When the question of the final pass age of the ordinance creating the of fice of sanitary inspector came up Councilman Huddleson moved tluit the ordinance be indefinitely postponed and the motion carried 8 to 0. Huddle son created nnothtcr discussion when ho moved to reduce tho- polico force from six to four men. Councilman Ward stated thnt the polico worked 12 hour shifts and that it was inhuman to ask them to increase this shift by uV crensing the force. Councilman Unruh considered a decrease to be poor econ omy and Councilman Elliott declared that tho suburban districts hud no po police protection now except on call and that even this would be removed by reducing he force. The final vote stood with Counciuninn Huddleson and Wilson in favor of a reduction and the others ngain'st it. Wilson then moved thnt the force be reduced from six men to five men and this was lost by n vote of 9 to 4. The schedule of appointive officers rnn off according to schedule. B.
