ready has begun an investigation into
the conduct OF the police department
and will gradually extend the scope
of its actions to the works board,
street department and ether branches
of the municipal government. It's
purpose is to make n thorough in
quiTy into the conditions that exist IN
various branches of the city govern
ment. and to make such changes in
personnel and methods as shall be
Judged necessary.
We hold Mayor Schmitz' written
promise to carry out the wishes ana
instructions of the committee in adj
ministering the affairs of the city"
said +. w Van Sicklen. n member of
the committee or seven yesterday.

bracing ! 0 lines of writing, but 1t con-
tains his sweeping promise to act alb
solutely and completely as the conf

All reports to tho contrary are Ell
roneous The only writing between
him and the committee is this 10 line
agreement, II we demand the re-
moval of the chief OF police, Of any
commission. or any official connected
with the city government he must
remove those we designate OF go
back OH his written promise. The
only hold we nave on him is his pro-
