Brooklyn League Thinks It Would
Clash with Police.

The Brooklyn League Yesterday adj
dressed letter 10 State Senator Robert
F. Wagner, chairman Of the Committee
on Rules. strongly opposing Assembly
bill No 2.669 creating a department OF
public welfare in this city. Not only
would the proposed department clash with
the Police Department, the letter de-
clared, but the city would be forced TO
pay two departments for what one de-
partment ought TO do.
There was no reason to suppose that
the proposed inspectors would be any
more efficient or honest than those of the
present department, said the letter. The
present system should be sufficient for the
proper handling of the police question. I'm
the opinion Of the Brooklyn League, IL
the Commissioner were protected against
arbitrary removal and furnished with an
adequate and competent secret service
force.
