In paragraph yesterday we referred to
the counter petition being circulated in
opposition to the one asking the retention
Of the present Metropolitan Police system.
Here is the wording Of the petition and the
signatures:
To the Legislature Of Tennessee now in Session:
The names of the undersigned amongst
others appear on petition presented to the
Senate, which petition protests against any
change in the present police system of our
city, and especially against changing the
appointing power from the Governor to the
City Council. We here positively and en-
phatically assert that the real object of
said petition was misrepresented 10 us.
We. understanding that the object was only
90 retain the system of order drill, uni
form. etc, but that the appointing of a
commissioner or commissioners was to be
transferred from the Governor TO our own
Mayor and City Council, as well as the
general direction and control of the police
force. Such we understand to be the pro-
visions of the bill passed by the House of
Representatives and now before the Senate
We are, and we believe our people almost
unanimously are, in favor of trying again
to manage our own affairs, and we respect
fully but earnestly ask that the bill which
passed the House as aforesaid, and is now
before the Senate be passed into a law
