Smith presents Needs of'Flre,Ic partment. Nothing of interest developed at the initial maetlmr of the board of public safety which was held in the council chamber at the city hall yesterday af ternoon. Lt was expected that a chief of police. would be elected but action was deferred pending a meeting of the po lice committee, of which Capt. W. r; Robertson Is chairman. A second meeting of the board will likely be held next week at which time an as sistant chief as well as a chief of po lice will be eleoted. Other matters of Interest will then the acted upon. All the members of the hoard of public safety were present at the meet ing yesterday afternoon, to wit: Mayor S. S. McNinch, chairman, ex-offlclo, and Col. A. L. Smith, Capt. W. K. Robertson, J. O. Walker, J I. Blajie ly, Rev. George A. Page, Ed Stewart, Lester Oates, and J. K. Wolfe. ' Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick, chairman of the special committee appointed by Mayor McNinch to Investigate the records of the police department, was present by request. Aldermen G. Q. Scott and J. W. Wadsworth were spectators for a few moments. The session lasted but an hour. Mr. J. O. Walker actel as secretary, in the absence of Mr. Ar chie Graham. . Immediately after convention, May or McNinch called upon the heads of the several committees for their re ports but not one answered, all de claring that they would have to post pone until meetings of their conrnlt tees could be held. ' Those called upon were Capt. Rob ertson, chairman of the pollco com mittee; Col. Smith, of the fire commit tee; Mr. Wolfe, of the 'building com mittee; Mr. Blakely., of the plumbing committee; .Mr. Walker, of the electri cal committee; Rev. Mr. Page, of the finance commltte and Mr. Oates of the committee on rules and regulations. ? '..';'. Col. Smith In submitting a few re marks as to the tire department (io-, clared that it was entirely inadequate for the needs of the city. He said that there were but two pieces of yp-lo-date apparatus which were available In case of fire and that with .the ex tension of the city limits and the rot responding Increase in territory to bft protected, , that lt Avas a matter of manifest impossibility for the present .equipment to do the work. "Wo have two stations In the centre of the city," declared Col. Smith and from 2 to 2 1-2 miles of territory on either Hide. It Is a matter of absolute Impossibil ity for the department to efficiently handle a fire In any of the outlying districts. We need new apparatus, more men, and additional stations in-f order that Greater Charlotte may be looked after. The demand for an In creased appropriation is apparent." - Col. Kirkpatrick, being called upon read the report of the police Investi gating committee which has already appeared in -The Observer. The it-e- ommendatlons and suggestions em bodied In this report were listened to with large interest by those present. A copy of them was given Mr. Oates tor the future, consideration of tho board. After agreeing to meet the first Friday night in each month, the board adjourned. A caucus of iho. police and lire committees was held Just after the board adjourned. Several . mattecs were dlseuKscd Informally, Ihtft noth ing definite done. A second meeting was called for Tuesday night, at which tlniu reports will likely be ar ranged for a special board . meeting to be held probably next Friday night. The members spent a very pleasant half-hour talking together and con sidering topics of mutual interest, -j in I the board of public safety. What els? has happenea? . "Why the hoards have met and turned the town up-side down. Alder man Scott has devised a. schedule of special taxes which touches everybody and every thing from a two-by-four fruit stand to the biggest wholesale and retail establishment In the city. The board of school commissioners has re-elected Supt -.Alexander Gra ham and the newly appointed boards have met. There have 'been ttirring times in local affairs Incident to the change of administrations. xe9, ana even Mr. J. A. Durham ana ir. j. H. Wearn have resigned their places on the police commission." and thereby eliminate all chances of getting hold of one of the others. For ab by Hzcll-IIyers Co., SHOWS AT THE PARK..
