THURSDAY EVENING. MAY 80. 1901
Tvr ACTION Of the Police Commits

Tur ACTION of the Police Co"na'6
siouers last night 10 filling the vacancy
caused by the resignation or dism'sSai
NJ a member of the force caused some
surprise and comment when 1t became
oenera,ly known. The Council has en-
deayored to remain neutral 10 the con-
troyersies aud issues which have oeen
going on 90 long between the Mayor
and Commissioners, and deferred ac-
ton concerning reduction OF the force
until both had signified acquiescence In
the proposition. There was but one
other question: trivial one--to De
settled, and that was the mode OF pro
cedure. Previous to the meeting OF the
board. few nights ago. nine member
of the City Council requested the Com
missioners to postpone electing ponce
man until after last Tuesday nignts
meetiue. in order that measures looking
TO the mode of reducing the force couio
be formulated. 10 accordance with oil
this an ordinance was introduced at
that meeting providing for the accom'
plishment Of that object, In order that
when four men shall have died, re-
signed. or been dismissed, no successors
to the ousrtette should be elected. The
ordinance was referred to the commit
tees on police and finance who would
doubtless have reported at the next
meeting and 1t was decided that the
Police Commissioners benefited OF that
action. Besides this the official proceed
ings Of both boards OF Council were pub
Iished (which ell citizens and especially
Office holders are supposed to read and
be guided by) together with q general
report of the meeting. A separate item
also appeared in the local columns OF
the Gazette explaining the matter fully.
There was surely enough notification
But in the face OF these facts the Com
missioners-a strange assumption-con-
cluded that iuasmuch as they had not
been officially informed OF the action OF
Council and were only acquainted with
the proceedings through the newspapers
1t was their duty to keep up the full
quota of the force, and accordingly fill
ed the vacancy. All are inclined to
look at things through different medi-
ums, but in their instance, no matter
what can be urged In extenuation OF
such O course, that the City Council
acted in good faith and did ell that
could be suggested under the circum'
stances must be apparent. The breach
which has existed so long between the
friends OF the Mayor and those OF
the Police Commissioners has been un-
necessary widened, and the legislative
body Of the city, which has heretofore
held aloof in respect and friendship for
both elements, has been dragged INTO
an embroglio which has already been
continued ad nsuseam.
