There appears to be lack OF unity among the
Police Commissioners as to the advisaOiiity OF
appointing Deputy Chief, and one OF them Is
quoted as expressing the opinion that the ONCE
would be simply ornamental. Nevertheless In
spector COrtr1ght has been requested to appear
for examination next Wednesday for promouon
TO the new place. There seems to be no impro-
priety in designating one OF the inspectors to take
the place Of the Chief in the absence OF the lat
ter. and no good reason for opposing such
designation has been brought forward In
creased efficiency in the force Is the main thing
to be sought. If the appointment of Deputy
Chief will subserve this end, II will be good
thing. IL not. there is no need of having such
an officer

1t is unfortunate from every point Of view
that the commissioners named by the Supreme
Court to pass on the ACCESSIBILITY Of constructing
the underground rapid transit roads should deem
II necessary to seek further extension of time,
which was granted to them yesterday. This is
the third extension they have obtained. The
time now fixed for the completion Of their work
IA March IL. We sincerely hope that this date
will be strictly adhered to. 1t is OF the greatest
importance that the prelmnaries should be got
out of the way. in order that the mandate OF the
people concerning the building OF this system
OF rapid transit may be carried Into effect as
speedily as possible.
