The Doard of Fire and p'ollee Commis-
sioners held a secret meeting yesterday ,
I t ; . ami when the members came opt It" was announced -
nounced that they had done nothing. Com-
. missioner Smith was unable to be present.
Jt was learned that the members hall agreed
upon some things connected with the appoint-
mont at a new fire chief to succeed J. J.
. Galligan. They have agreed on appointing n
. now chief within the next few days probably
. at their regular meeting on Monday evening ,
and It docs not seem at all IIIlely that that
man will bo a resident of Omaha.
When John Redell loft here 11 few days ago
. : It was understood that the only thing which
prevented his immediate appointment as
chief was some charges 1rgalnst his
Personal character As soon as lie learned
: at these he left for Chicago and Duluth to
secure evidence to the contrary , and It Is
, understood that lie has mailed allldavlts to
the board contradicting these charges. These '
ntlhlavlts and other references were considered
by the board at its meeting yesterday , and It Is
alleged that lI\r. \ Hedell now stands a. very I
good sliow ot receiving the coveted 110sltlon. )

but they do not appear as hopeful as they
dill 11 few days ago.
'fhe Board at Fire 1 and Police Commls-
. IIloners arc being deluged with apllllcations
. for the position of lire chief. Letters have
: been received frolll Peru Neb , New Orleans ,
San Francisco , Topellll , and many other
places. Some of the applicants are firemen
and ] SOIllO are not , but each one believes that

: BIIORT-WEIGUTED THE POOR
1'11\11 tlr CUlllllygtmt Cllrrlcr to Make
I&l1lhlI . Haiti Out.
Before another day rolls around there will
be change In the management at the county
. atore at Eighteenth and St Mary's avenue :
, For some time the county commissioners
have been distributing their supplies for the
S relief at the outside poor tram the store
110use. and have been very much pleased . with !
I , . . the results claiming that they have effected
. _ _ III very considerable saving over tile old plan.
l.ecently cOllllllalnts have been made that the
. .worl at the store keeper has not been In acCordance -
torllancetth the claims and orders at the
. bounty board. . ( . ' _ _ , _ .w , y
I It hars bceu the cuslom ot the COmmlhlonera
.
: to pay the inca who were working on the
: , .tounty . roads with orders , for supplies on thQ
ttunty slore. Severlll cOtnplnlnts have been \
. tnado" that the supplies w ro given out on
.cales that gave the customer very much thD
" , 'out or the bargain. Men who have bten
QrltJDg on the roads ! . have taken the goods
. w'wt
received at the county store and ] have had
them weighed ] on other scales and almost invariably -
variably found Ibem short weight. Complaint -
plaint was made to the commissioners , but
they placed ] little confidence In the report . of
short weight , chiefly for the reason that
there coulll bo nothing gained by short weighIng -
Ing on goods that were being
given away by the county. Thurs-
day , however , the commIssIoners received -
ceived a complaint tram n man who had
received several 110 lars' worth ot supplies
from the county store. They took the goods
and hall them weighed and found them short I
from 10 to 25 per cent An investigation I
was at once commenced , and the discovery
made that Agent Currier , at the county
store , hall been systematically giving short
weights to patrons of the place , for the pur-
pose , he said , or making the goods hold out
and making up for shortages and shrinkages
In weight that Is unavoidable feature ot
loss In the handling at nearly all classes of
groceries and provisions.
The commissioners were very much dls-
pleasel with the discover , and at an informal -
formal meeting tlecilletl to at once place an-
other man In charge ot the county store.
No charge of dishonesty Is made against
Agent Currier , and In fact there would be
no chance for him to profil by the system I
which has been allopted by him In the store.
The commissioners Imply do not want to
continue the system , or condone the \1S0 of
Il In the past. It has nol yet been decided
or announced , at east ] , who will succeed Mr.
Currier.
Other charges have been made to the
effect that the county has been giving short
weight In the matter of coal delivered to the
poor , anti the commissioners have lecll1e1\
to meet on tim day after ChrIstmas to enter
upon a full Investigation ot the charges In
this respect.
Inspector \\'hlto has examined the scales
used by the county agent In weighing out
coal and various other supplies and finds
that there Is a material discount In favor
of the county. . The scales ! do not balance
by thirty pounds , and the difference Is
against : the customer. As most of the coal
weighed out Is lu small quantities , the varia-
tion of thirty pounds on each lot amounts
to a big 11er centage. After cleaning up
the scales It was found that there was still
ten pounds variation ntul the inspector will
see that the scales arc made to balance here-
after. .
