Fourth Ward Alderman Ernest Schooley requested that the police department begin delivering his city correspondence to his home. Apparently this was the policy in the past but was recently discontinued. The councilmen were asked to pick up their city correspondence at the police station the weekend before each meeting According to Schooley, "It is the privilege of being an alderman to have the police deliver my mail." Pasenelli countered by ex­ plaining that the department is undermanned and that delivering the mail is not part of the police department's job. Pasenelli stated that it would be a waste of time to use the policemen as "$7 an hour delivery men" and that an increase of police calls in the community prohibits the of­ ficers from taking time to deliver the correspondence. In the future, the city clerk's office will deliver correspon­ dence to any alderman unable to make it to city hall during the weekend.

Simms also pointed out that it is difficult to obtain judges and when the turnout of voters is heavy some of them feel the workload is too great.
