THE PoL1cs CAss-THz CITY WINS
Judge D.nson yesterday decided the case Of
p. F. Dolan against the Board of Trustees of
this city. The action was 70 test the validity
Of the action Of the Board Of Police Commits
siou6rs in April last in electing a new police
force. The Judge stated that il was his in
tentioh to file written opinion. but a press
of business prevented. 1t was decided that
the point urged by petitioner, that the Police
Commissioners had never qualified according
to layy. was not well taken. The Board. act
ing de facto, the regularity If their quahhca-
tion could not be inquired into in collateral
proceeding of this character. In relation TO
the question Of the power Of the Board OF
Police Commissioners to remove appointees
at pleasure, and which the petitioner claimed
that the law governing the police department
expressly prohibits, the Court decided that
the words permanent polics force did not
refer to the individual members thereof, and
that the word permanent was to be under
stood as perpetual" and related only to the
department That under the Act in ques-
ton there was no term fixed; therefore, the
appointees held during the pleasure Of the
appointing power. That any other view of
the Act would be TO bring it in antaSonism
with both the old and the new Constitution,
which expressly provides that when the
tenure Of Office is not fixed by law, it shall be
held during the pleasure of the authority
making the appointment, not to exceed four
wears There were several other points made
in the case which the Court said he did not
feel called upon TO consider inasmuch as
the last point decided went directly to the
vitality OF the proceedings. The petition was
therefore ordered 20 be dismissed The
Court ordered w. A. Anderson counsel for
the Board Of Trustees, respondent, TO pre-
pare findings in the case in accordance
with decision rendered.
