He stated that the Council had authorized the purchase of a new police car at the previous meeting, figuring there would be $350.00 received for the damages of this car and there would be a balance of $500.00 to pay on the new car, but that afterwards it had been found doubtful whether the City would secure any !thing from the damages; that the Police Committee, after consulting with several L3 .! of the Council members had asked the S'immons-Kendall Company to hold a car until I !confirmation could be made by the Council. He stated the Recorder had already secured a certificate to purchase this new car and asked for cinfirmation from the Council for this car to be purchased which would leave a balance of about $843.01 to be paid. On motion made, seconded, and carried this purchase was confirmed by : the Council. Councilman Hawn suggested that as long as Mr. Faubian had no insurance fand that he was inclined to make a legal battle out of the ques~ion the Mayor should japPoint some committee to consult with the City Attorney and see if some compromise 'could be worked out. This matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee and the City Attorney for consideration. Councilman Hawn also brought up the matter as to the status of Fred Haley, :who collects the money from the parking meters and handles parking meter repairs. !He stated he had thought Mr. Haley was working under the direction of the Chief .of POlice, but that Mr. Haley resented any suggestion that the Chief of Police might .make and he would like to have the matter cleared up. A motion was made by Davis L4 :and seconded by Hawn that Mr. Haley should be under the Police Committee nad should ,take orders from the Chief of Police regarding the meters. On vote this motion :was carried and the Recorder was inst~ucted to notify Mr. Haley by letter of this ~action and also furnish the Chief of Police and Mr. Hawn as Chairman of the Police :Committee a copy of the letter. I Mr. Hawn also madea motion that beginning July 1st, all requisitions for the' L5 'different departments should show exactly what piece of equipment the material in Ithe requisition was to be used for; that this was to apply to tires, batteries, all ~kinds of repairs, and labor.
