SERGT. KASS WILL INSIST.
that the Police Commits.
siOners Retire Him.

The matter OF the application for re-
tirement of Sergt. william Kass, which
was denied by the Police Commissioners
several weeks ago, will In all probable
ity be brought UP at the meeting to-
day.
The Commissioners. Immediately aft r
II was resolved to take up the cases
against accused police officers, decided
to refuse to act upon all applications
for retirement until after the close OF
the trials.
At the next meeting sergt. Ksss made
application for retirement under the
twenty-year service law. The appiica-
ton was laid over with several others
and the applicants limited that they
would take legal action 10 compel the
Commissioners to retire them. None OF
the applicants. 1t appears, had any
charges pending against them. The law
specifies that II Is obligatory upon the
Commissioners TO retire. upon appltca-
ton, amy member who has done twenty
years service.
Sergt. kass will ask to-day 10 be re-
tired under another section OF the law.
which makes II optional with the Po-
lice Commissioners TO retire any ofilcer
on the force who has reached the age
Of sixty years. Sergt. KaSs was sixty
years old Aug, I and therefore will de-
mand that he be retired.
II the Commissioners refuse TO take
favorable action on his application to-
day kass will appeal TO the courts.
