RETURNED BY VAN WICK
NEW YORK POLICE BILL DIsAP-
PROVED BY -TAMMANY's MAYOR.
Says 1t Is Unconstitutional, and,
Therefore, He Has Sent 1t Back to
the State Legislature.

NEW YORK. Jan. lit was learned to-
day that Mayor Van wyck on Saturday
evening, returned TO Albany the police bill
with his disapproval attached The mem
orandum which the Mayor sent to Albany
with his veto is addressed to ''the Senate
of the State of New York." and in part
says:
This bill abolishes the present Board Of
Police Commissioners in charge of the po-
lice department Of the city of New York,
and transfers all their powers TO single
subject. at all times TO power of
removal vested, not only in the mayor. bus
also In the Governor. The power of re-
moval given TO the Governor is not limited
In any way. 1t is not a power OF removal
for cause, and it does not require that the
commissioner shall have any opportunity OF
being heard before his removal.
THE position of the commissioner TO be
appointed under this bill is, therefore, that,
although local office, his tenure OF office
is at the pleasure of the Governor OF the
State.
1T is further provided in the bill that no
person the Governor removes snail ever
subsequently be appointed TO the Office Inc
cation and of the arbitrary power of re-
moval vested in the Governor is to COM
pletely nullify the power of appointment
nominaliy given to the mayor. This Is q
violation OF the provisions OF the Constitu-
ton. which guarantees to the inhabitants
of the counties, cities, towns, and villages
OF the State the right TO select their local
officers. ~ a.
This bill is an attack upon the consti-
tutional rights Of local officers. This bill Is
an attack upon the constitutional right of
local self-government. 1t is all the more
dangerous because the attack is made in an
underhand and indirect way"
The mayors message will reach Albany
tomorrow morning. 1t is believed the bill
will be passed over his veto by both houses
of the State Legislature and that the Gov
ernOr will then sign IT.
