NO MAZET REPORT NOW.
The Committee VIII Not Make Recommen-
dations Until Its Work Is Done.

Il should like to have 1t understood" said
Chairman Mazet yesterday. that our commit
tee will make no preliminary report at the eX-
ira session. We do not believe in preliminary
~reports. in the first place. and there is no me-
cessity for such q report. We have got until
next February to mako n report. and we shall
take our time. As a result Of the testimony
already adduced, several bills have been
sent to me. Intended to correct abuses
shown to exist in the Police Department.
l believe and others believe that remedial egis-
lation could be suggested now. but it cannot
20 far enough. because we have not finished
our work. The one object Of this inyesti-
CATION is to suggest Legislation which will
correct existing abuses and make 1t unneces-
sary to send an Investigating committee down
here every. two or three years. Such sugges-
tions will be mado in our final report. and TO
other report will be made. ] believe the eX-
ira session will not last more than a week.
One other thing l would like to make clear.
find that many persons think the member
OF this committee get paid SO much q day for
every day the Investigation continues. and. for
that reason. we arewilling tolsit for an indefinite
length Of time. The members Of the com
mittee do not get n cent for carrying on this
work. and the sooner il is concluded the better
we'll like it. The out-of-town. members alone
get their hotel bills paid and their railroad
fare"
