' The bill came up again yesterday} ) I and the clerk of the committee read F . [ 1 a draft of a clause placing the esti- l ' l, mates of Police Commissions under "T I the control of the City Council. The ' ) clerk said that he understood that . l . was what the committee wished ' i done. h - '3 Undecided as to What Happens. l . Hon. H. C. Nixon, Chairman of; l the committee, had to leave, and his ; i l place was taken by Edgar IVataon ,7 ' . (North Victoria). A most-animated ' ' . discussion arose as to what really' ' ' happened at the prior meeting. One portion of the committee held that, the clauses relating to the change of personnel in Police Commissions ' had been defeated. Another por- tion held that it hadmot been de- . feated, but that a redraft was to be brought in, as well as the redraft actually presented. . Somebody called for the minutes, but the minutes were not there, and apparently could not be produced on t such short notice. Finally, after , much objecting and cross-question- . ing, the committee voted in favor of the clause presented and adjourned. l After the meeting some of the ' , Labor members said that they were B, _ certain that the clause changing per- _- sonnei had not been defeated, and they promise to do some interesting speaking the next time the bill T comes before the committee. if it V comes at all, which some doubt. _ r a At any rate the tight will be I transferred to the floor of the House, ' . and Labor men, from what they said ' yesterday, will make a determined , l effort to get it through in its ori- / ginal form. iis1'PS"d _ i .
