nau rlgnt 10 appoint the committee and
the committee had right to go ahead
and do its work, Notwithstanding the
notice of reconsideration.
He appointed Messrs. Book, Bosby-
shell and Teed, all OF whom declined
Mr.. Bosbyshell because he was in i'll
health, Mr.. Teed because he had ex-
pressed himself against Chief Cuddy on
the streets and in public.
Mr.. Humphreys appointed DIR. Sinsa-
baugh in place of Mr.. Bosbyshell, but
would accept no other declinations.
Mr.. Collins objected to the committee
as appointed, because the majority of it
was Republican, and it was not right
that Republican committee should be
appointed to try Democratic official
especially when the Council was Demo
cratic.
Mr.. Lowell said that to settle the whole
matter he would move that Chief Cuddy
be dismissed from further service. No
second.
Mr.. Collins said, "That's just what
you want"
Mr.. Teed renewed his declination, and
Mr.. Humphreys appointed Mr.. Collins in
Mr.. Teed's place.
Mr.. Collins said that there was no use
in this, because he would say right now
there was nothing in the charges.
Mr.. Humphreys then said that the
committee would stand Messrs. Book
Sinsabaugh and Teed.
Mr.. Teed said he positively would not
serve. Chief Cuddy, who had listened
to the discussion, said he hoped the
Committee would serve and that none of
its members would decline, because he
would aid the investigation with all his
power, and he wanted the investigation
to be made.
