THE SEw.YORK POLICE BILL-A MINORITY REPORT.
Senator BARR this morning submitted a minority
report, giving the following reasons why this bill
should not pas:
New York tie contr,i Of Police Clerks, aud - take
awey the power heretofore vested in the Mayor, to
control said sppOit tmeats that the operation Of the
II will be TO declare voidtw appointments of Clerks
OF Police, made by the pre- mt Mayor that the duties
OF these Clerks are Of great Importance in the admin
stIaiion Of criminal justice in the City Of New York,
and that these duties require superior degree of in
tegeIce and character and rat the 8ppoinees OF the
Mayor hsve been found to possess these requisites;
III al the the head Of the Police Department,
40 made re ,ponsibe for the due administration Of
the police laws Of the City, consequently he should
have The control Of said Department. To take away
II control Of those who are 10 aid him aud upon
whom be must depend, is virtuslly mskir the Mayor
tubordinste TO the Common Council, AMI will render
him powerless the Executive head. II the present
Mayor by his course, had rendered il necessary to
wesken bis power, transfer it to Others then it
would be proper TO pass this bill bat If he has not,
then the Legislature ought not to suffer thi. invidous
attack upon him. The appointments Of Police Clerks
if trsrsfered TO the Common Council, will be msie
BOT with regsrd TO peisonsl fitness but rather from
political considerations. (Sigoedl I. j. BARR.
