Chief Glass reported that he had sus-
pended Police Officer Robert Martin, for
neglect Of duty aud incompetency in
connection with the attempted burglary
ct the postofice. Attached to the off,
cial's report was communication from
Postal Clerk Driscoll, as we'll as the re-
suit of an investigation of the matter
made by Detective Bosqui. These
showed that there was considerable diff
ference between the statements made
by the suspended officer and the post
Office people. On motion an investiga-
tion before the full board was ordered
for this afternoon at 8 O'Clock, at which
Martin was directed to be present with
his witnesses, in order that his side of
the case may be heard.
Chief Glass was requested to submit
the names of ten persone to be appoint
ed for special duty while the regulars 60
away on leave.
Mr.. Mackay incidentally remarked
that any persons recommended by the
chief would suit him, although he did
not propose to allow it to be forgotten
that the party to which he belongs had
right to representation on the force.
He knew undeniably that there were
but twenty-one Democrats on the roster.
He conceded that the Republicans were
entitled to three-ffths of the appoint
ments. While insisting upon the rights
of the Democrats in the premises, the
commissioner did not intend that his
remarks should be believed to have any
bearing upon the actual force. He would
be 10th to see any good man discharged
on account of his political opinions, but
he meant that they should apply in
cases of vacancies. or future appoint
menta.
A good-natured discussion ensued !,
during which Mr.. Lewis moved that the
chief inquire into the politics of all his
officers and report the same to the
board at the next meeting.
The mayor, however, appointed Com
missioners Mackay and Lewis commit
tee to seek the desired information, thus
relieving Chief Glass of an inquiry
which appeared to have no charms for
him.
The chief was then requested to give
the names Of the persons whom he con-
sidered as proper individuals to be ap-
pointed specials, and he submitted
thirteen names. The board having gone
Into executive session for few minutes.

They were then declared appointed for

manner in which the regulars will take
their vacation and other minor details
were left to the chief. 1t was suggested
