Petition from Officer Tribolet
asking that the Council order an
investigation of the cause of the
trouble which took place between
him (Tribolet) and Chief Harris on
the day of the recent city election.
Mr.. Lips, on being informed that
the Council was not invested with
judicial powers, took the ground
that the Council had nothing to do
with the matter.
| Mayor Cohn, while conceding
the point that the Council had no
judicial power, said that, as Officer
Tribolet's character had been called
in question by the action of the
Chief of Police, he thought that the
Council ought to grant the petition
er's request.
Messrs. Hollenbeck and Green
took the same view.
Mr.. Green moved that the Coun-
Gil, with the City Attorney, sitting
as Committee of the Whole, give
the matter full Investigation at a
special meeting to be held at p.
NJ. on Monday next.
Pending consideration of Mr..
Green's motion, communication
was received from City Judge Peel
asking that, in view of the fact
that the charges against Officer
Tribolet are to be Investigated by
the Police Committee, he would
recommend that the conduct of
Chief Harris, member of the PO-
lice Committee, be first enquired
into by the Council.
Mr.. GREEN'S motion was then
adopted, and the Clerk was instruct
ed to notify the Chief of Police and
Officer Tribolet of the time of meet
