Surgeons Ames and Cooper were notified
of their discharge, and of the appointment
in their stead of Drs. j. s. Clarke and +.
Shoemaker. The police surgeons declare
their intention to contest the case, act No.
co, under which the board are working,
giving them the authority only to reduce
the force TO such an extent as may he neces-
sary in order to bring the expenses under
100000 per annum and not to remove Off
GERS in order to make new appointments,
which is expressly prohibited in the old
law, and which has never been repealed. 1t
seems that the boards theory and practice
of removing, in this instance, will probably
result III the payment Of tour surgeons N
stead of two.
The appointment of Police Captain Rey is
liable to the same legal objection as that of
Messrs Clarke and Shoemaker.
Captain Leonard Malone, third precinct,
was last week reduced to the rank Of patrol
man, but this action was reconsidered and
his rank at present is that of sergeant, de-
tailed as detective in the third precinct.
