 Gtentlemen-Y Yesterday we received your joint reply to the several letters we sent you on June 8. You express the opinion that the police department of New Haven has been inefficient and has seriously failed to perform it's duty. One of your number MT. Henderson, appeared before us at a meeting held in the alderman's chamber last even ing and stated facts in his knowledge concerning the conduct of some police men last April, which tends to sustain the general charge of ineff1ciency made by you. We desire that the other three signers of your letter should appear before us next Tuesday evening, June 21, at o'clock, and state any facts in your knowledge concerning any of the charges or complaint smade in your letter. We have requested the city at torney, Mir. Webb, and the clerk of the oity court, MT. Isbell, to appear before us at the same time and furnish us any evidence they have to sustain any or all of the charges set out in your letter. We shall call the board of po- lice commissioners, the chief of police and other members of the department to appear before us and give us any ir- formation in their possession relating to all the subjects named in your let ter, and we will give you notice of the time when we shall expect to hear them. If you the ndesire to appear U. f~~a you will be at liberty to do so.
 Under the provisions of the charter we ara required to report the results of our Investigation to the mayor, and we do not think it is proper for us to call him as witness on the subject matter of our Investigation.
