Much depends on what is done at

his veto the ordinance passed at the
last meeting of the council giving the
chief of police the right to appoint
his assistant chief. which was passed.
at the last meeting of the council. As
was expected, the mayor vetoed this
bill. 1t was passed because he refue-
ed to affirm the appointment of Evan
Parnel as assistant chief Mayor
White gives the following as his rea-
sons for vetoing the ordinance:
s.First. think 1t bad policy to
have one person in the absolute con.
troll of this department Of the ctt&
government, for it might happen thai
the chief Of police in making his ap.
pointment might select a very bad
man for this position either by mis-
take or otherwise and thereby enforce
condition that all might suffer from.
Second. Experience has taught lis
that by having a police force abs0-
:
that wrongs have been perpetrated
upon the city government. and know
ing as | do that the chief cannot steal
without cooperation of the night chief
I do not regard it best to place both
positions under his control.
Third. | think that qualifications
and service should control the selec
tion of the man from the force to be
promoted to this position and knowing
as do that the man selected for this
position by the chief Of police posseSs-
es neither of these qualifications To
recommend him I do not think the
chief of police should appoint him,
when he has men on the force who are
better qualified and have been longer
