Mayor Learned That ROonng Sold to City
ny . Merchant Had Been offered
BACK 10 Him Police wagon said to
Have Taken II to Ex.COp's .Junl<shOp.

One OF the reasons for the change
made recently in the bureau Of repairs
and supplies at Police Headquarters
when Police Commissioner Waldo came
into offioe and put Lieut.. Enright in
charge Of that department came to light
yesterday when it was learned that
Jacob Nleurer. a metal dealer Of 286 Lin
coin place. Brooklyn. went to Mayor
Gaynor some months ago. while Police
Commissioner Cropsey was still in Office.
and told the Mayor that junk dealer
had offered him some metal roofing for
sale which Meurer Immediately recog-
nized as roofing that he had sold to the
bureau Of repairs and supplies.
The Mayor investigated and 1t is said
found that the storehpusc Of the bureau
had been robbed Of metal valued at
about $500. that this metal had been
carted away from the storehouse in one
II the police wagons and taken to junk
chop run by an ex-policeman. 1t was
the ex-polceman, the Mayor learned.
who had sold the metal to Meurer.
The Mayor went with the results Of his
investigation to Police Commissioners
Crop@ey. At that time Deputy Com
missioner Flynn was in charge of the
bureau Of supplies in addition to his
detective work. n burden which he spoke
Of later as being one of the things that
led To his resignation. Commissioner
Flynn went down to see the Mayor at the
City Hall and was told Of what the Mayor
had heard was going on in the bureau.
and although Flynn did not think at
first that the Mayor had been correctly
informed he began an investigation
when the proofs were shown to him.
The matter was we'll covered and no
charges preferred against any one as a
result.
When Commissioner Waldo came to
Headquarters the Mayor told him what
had happened In the bureau of supplies.
and the new Commissioner started in to
clean out the bureau. Every one con
nected with the bureaus warehouse left
and Enright was put in charge.
The warehouse OF the bureau of re-
pairs and supplies is at 900 Mulberry
street. the old Police Headquarters.
