why Don't People Point to Spe.

Reappointment??"

John Gillespie doesn't like the in.
situations implied in the request OF
SO many people that Police Commits
sioner Crou be reappointed
They ask for Mr. Crours reap
pointment because they don't want
the police department dragged back
into politics.; because they want il
TO remain in competent hands. DO
they mean that haven't made good
record as water commissioners?
I've been serving the city without
pay while Mr. Croul has been getting
$4,000 a year. I've given UP so much
OF my time to the city's business that
my board OF directors has objected.
The water board is earning S550.00u
for the city of Detroit every year, and
the people are getting water cheaper
than any other city in the United
States. We could raise our rates one
third and earn s1,000,000, and 1t
would be no hardship TO the users OF
water Is that ineficiency? II it is
not then where is the force in this
demand for efficiency in the police d.
partment?

thing. II he should appoint me a
member of his cabinet, | would have
TO give up a great deal of my time TO
the city. | don't know that such a
thing would be so desirable from my
own personal point OF view
There's one newspaper that prints
in one column an Endorsement OF Nj.
Croul as the ideal commissioner oil
police. On the front page there's d
carton showing an officer swinging
his baton outside drinking house
and paying no attention TO what goes
on inside. There's long story tell
ing how the police do nothing TO rem
edv these conditions | ask you. is
that consistency? Hardly. I don't at
tack Mr.. Croul, but | say that de-
mand for his roappointment on ac-
count of what he has done. side by
side with an account of what he
hasn't done. is inconsistent.
why does the Detroit Civic Uplrt
league pick out one job and pay all
its attention 10 that? Why doesn't it
consider the whole list OF jobs, and
make recommendations concerning
them? The whole movement in favor
OF Mr.. Croul's reappointment is a mass
OF inconsistency Why don't people
come out and point 10 specific acts
as reasons for his reappointment2
Then there would be some sense IN
their requests.

though the wishes OF the Italians, who
are themselves interested In what
happens on the east side OF the
Adriatic will be given due considera
tion. Austria has been waiting anx-
iously for the independence proclama-
ton II was considered here that the
proclamation was probably inspired
from Vienna Germany and Italy are
expected 10 recognize il at once.

Immediately what course TO adopt
The prediction was made by high
authorities. that the next few hours

ceived orders TO report TO their regi-
