BACK IHE ATTACK WITH BOOS TEE POLICE SITUATION HOLDS SPOTLIGHT AT COUNCIL MEETING Plan Decided on That Will Per mit Adequate Wage for Three Men If They Can Be Pound . The matter of the city police force stole all of the stage at the city council meeting Monday night, and was marked with some warmth at times, until the greater part of the difficulties were ironed out, and a plan decided upon to give better sal aries to three men as soon as pos sible to find the men. The first clalh came between the chairman of the police committee, Councilman Seivers and Mayor Hayes over the methods of selecting and operating the police department. Mr. Seiver stated that after the last council meeting when Chief Parker had resigned and the hours of work set at twelve hours for two men un til possible to secure a third, he understood that the mayor had or- I dered the police to take only orders from the mayor. He stated he did not want any part of the police deal and tendered his resignation as councilman but no action was taken on the matter by the council. Coun cilman Rebal felt that the matter had been one largely of misunder standing between the committee and the mayor and he felt that the councilman should remain. Mayor Hayes stated that he had looked into the matter and found that the city ordinances gave the mayor control over the police de partment and this he proposed to do in the future. After considerable discussion, the natter of the financing was placed in the hands of the finance and police committees, to evolve some plan. The two committees presented a resolution that would provide for three men on the police force as soon as the mayor is able to locate three capable men. The salaries to be $150 for the chief, $140 for assistant chief and $130 for the merchants police. The change of hours and rate of pay to be effective as soon as the men could be found, otherwise the hours and pay to be as at the pres ent time. Chairman Rebal of the finance committee stated that the increase would run the police fund something like $150 over the budget. The finance committee to relieve the sit uation presented a resolution trans ferring $500 from the general to the rolice fund, to be repaid when mon ey accumulated in the police fund. Mayor Hayes then presented the name of Noah Parker for police chief that was confirmed by the council and the mayor hoped to have addi tional men soon. Chairman Gabelman of the license committee, reported favorably on the application of Rae McMaken for an "On and Off beer license for the New Way Lunch, now operated by B. C. Cohn. The license committee also had a communication from Mrs. Mae Sed lak in which she asked to operate the tavern and lunch room as mana ger, her husband being called into the army. This matter had been ap proved by the state commission. The council approved the request. City Treasurer M. D. Brown re ported that city funds as $23,432.69, this including $15,000 of war bonds carried by the city. City Clerk Albert Olson reported that in the month of October he had collected the sum of $2,S17.60. The members of the council re ceived the lirst report of the board ot public works on the operation of ihe municipal water plant. The re port was very thorough and showed the excellent business management that the board has given the sub ject. The board has installed, since taking ovor the plant, a modern and up-to-date bookkeeping system. Mayor Hayes announced the nam es of the members of his city plan ning board as authorized by the council. W. II. Puis and George Conis representing the city council, Searl S. Davis, Carl Schneider and J .Howard Davis, the general public. On motion of Councllmau Svoboda, Robert White was given permission to mark a parking place on North 6th street for his taxi depot. Chief of Polico Noaii Parker re ported that for the month of October there had been eight ' arrests and fines and costs qf $52.75. Chairman Schutz of the streets, alleys . and bridges committee, re ported that the street force had been working on the street west of the Masonic Homo, widening this rut and making it safer for travel. In regard to rocking Maiden Lane, he stated that he had, luacjc a trip to the gravel pit with the mayor and found a large amount of gravel that could be secured for street surfac JOUBUAI, PLATTSMOTTTH. NEBRASKA ing and in his opinion, this -was bet ter than the rock- On motion of Councilman Svoboda, the committee wag empowered to secure the best means of transporting the gravel to Maiden Lane and for use in surfac ing. Councilman Svoboda also called the attention of the council to the fact that Lincoln avenue from the Granite street viaduct south to the Reck Bluff road needed surfacing as It was getting in bad shape and with heavier travel would be im passible in the winter and spring.
