THE POLICE CAPTAENCY.
The Election VIII Probably Take Place
ON Tuesday Next

In all probability the election to fiji the vacant
cApIAincy on the police force will take place at
| the next meeting Of the Council on Wheaday
next According to the police rules (rule 81,
Whenever a vacancy occurs on the police force
such vacancy shall be filed by the promotion Of
an officer from the merit IO,re,' grdde or in this
case from among the sergoants of the force.
There are now about fourteen of these scr
geants. several Of whom command precincts.
and naturally. every one of these sergeants Is
an asptrant for promOti0n-a laudibe ambition
1t must be admitted.
But the favorites appear to be few. Sergeant
s. Gill appears in the front. and it Is claimed for
him that he numbers three administrations
among his solid supporters. Sergeant Ralph
Morgan is certainly backed by one Admins
traitor, and Sergeant ROwley counts also one of
the administrators as his advocate Special
Othcer Frank Minor is another candidate, with
agood support but it Is objected to him that
ne does not como within the category OF those
VINO can be promoted; and yet In favor of his
nomination 1t Is urged that the police, rules
having been made by the City Council, that
BODY can suspend or alter them to suit its pur-
poses.
1t being admitted that all tho officers mem
toned above are Of equal worth and efficiency
the questiO has arisen whether 1t would not be-
preferable to promote that officer who ranks
the others in date OF commission. on the prin-
Clple that the police rules seek to establish a
systematic hierarchy in the force. But who is
the ranking sergeant? They were all elected
on the, same, day, and their commissions are
also all dated on the same dayl 1t Is, therefore
proposed that the first officer elected on the day
of the election. shall be considered the ranking
sergeant. That officer is Sergeant Ralph Nor
gan. On the other hand it Is c0ntended that
the. commissions alone can be taken as q cri-
teriOn of the sergeauts rank, and the matter of
Selectlng q captain must be determined by
vote of the Council. In that case Sergeant Gill
finds himself pretty solid man, and all he has
