For the last few weeks rumor has
ibeen rife that many appointments and
promotions were due to be made at
the commissioners' meeting this even
ing. When the board met on the
15th the meeting was adjourned as
there was not a quorum present and
It was expected that there would be a
meeting called today.
Mr. Stanley said this morning that
he had issued no call for a meeting
and did not expect to. To take the
commissioner at his word means that
no successor to Captain Coley will be
announced tonight. The appointments
of new men, lieutenants and sergeants
as well as captain's vacancy will
probably go over now to the regular
meeting on the 30th of the month.
YOUNGSTER HIT
BY TRUCK BUT
NOT HURT MUCH
While running across the street at 1
the corner of Hancock and Maple
wood avenues about 9 o'clock this
morning, Vincent Miller, 3, of 1072
Hancock avenue, was struck by an
automobile truck owned and operated
by Jacob Ginsberg, of 246 Oak
street. The youngster was taken to
St. Vincent's hospital for treatment, j
and it was stated at that place that j
his injuries are not dangerous.
Ginsberg stated that he was driv- J
ing west on Hancock avenue, when ;
a number of youngsters started to
cross the road immediately in front
of his machine. He applied the
brakes, but the big truck skidded on
the wet pavement and struck the
Miller youngster. The machine
continued to slide across the road,
and finally landed on the sidewalk on
the opposite side of the street. Gins
berg was not arrested inasmuch aa
the accident seemed unavoidable.
