Mayor Russell presented type written copies of the number of calls made my the as egas Police Department in connection with hospitalization and emergency treatments by local doctors and ask the members of the Board if they approved of the police cars being used in this work. Each of the four commissioners approved of this practise since the City of Las Vegas was without an emergency hospital and any ambulance services except privately owner cars. Mayor Russell at this time placed the Commissioners at the heads of the following Departments: Commissioner Ronnow transferred from the Finance Commissioner to Police and Fire Commissioner, Commissioner Corradetti from Water Sewer and Light to Finance Commissioner and Commissioner Krause from Police and Fire Commissioner to Water Sewer and Light Commissioner. In making these transfers the Mayor stated that Commissioner Ronnow had been of the opinion that the recommendation of a man for the office of Police Chief should come from the Commissioner of that Department and that in placing Mr. Ronnow at the head of this department he would recommend his choice of man for the office of Chief of Police and have full and complete control of that department. Mr. Ronnow accepted this commission with that understanding. Commission Corradetti informed the Mayor he would try to fill the office of Finance Commissioner to the best of his ability and also ask for the assistance of the members of the Board. Commissioner Gilbert was retained as Street Commissioner.
