GRoRGETowN, August ~, 1864
| Editor StGr The Islander uttered by GER
tain member of the Common Council, Corpo-
ration of Georgetown, upon our police and po-
lice commissioners, contained in the follow
ing report Of the proceedings of the Council:
&c Mr.. Clements made a short speech against
| the bill, and In the course OF his remarks said
that he would vote against appropriating one
| cent to increase the wages of the Georgetown
| police, because a majority Of them are unfit to
hold the position, and the men W no appointed
| them are just as unfit"
! The people may congratulate themselves, and
| "Diogenes' lantern needs no more,
| An honest man is found, the search is o'er.s
And may venture to say that Superinten-
| dent Webb will feel that he has committed q
| as to the fitness of the police stationed here
when such man as Mr.. Clements calls in
question, not only their fitness, but alss Su-
| perintendent Webbs fitness, together with the
commissioners; and although he (Superin-
tendent Webb) may feel humiliated to find
| himself in opposition to Mr.. Clements, yet a
sense OF Justice compels me to publish the fol-
| lowing letter from himself to Mayor Addison,
| dated July 80, 1864:
| in reply to your note on this sheet permit
| OF which Georgetown is a precinct, has, since
| my appointment, Immediately after its organi-
| cation, been under my constant control, and
| subject to my daily inspection; that the con-
duct OF the men assigned to Georgetown, has
| always been equal, If not superior to that Of
| ally, the GEORGETOWN, D. c., officers have al
! ways been complimanted for their app .arauce
| and efficiency, and whenever anything has
| been reported against any one of them, charges
| been preferred against him, he has been tried,
and II found guilty, punished in the manner
marked out by the Manual Regulations
Very respectfully, w. b. WEBB, Supt
To HENRY ADDISON, Mayor"
