POLICE JUDGE TO QUIT

,Watsrloo Official to Resign Pending
Investigation Of Charges Flied
Aaainst Him in Report Of State
Auditor.
Waterloo, Feb. 4. - Police Judge
Meyers will tender his resignation
pending a complete Investigation of
port to State Auditor Shaw, according
to reports credited to those in close
connection with city hall habitues and
Judge Meyers himself. The police
judge held an extended conference with
Mayor r.. c. Thompson, City Auditor
DeGon and Councilmen Burk and
Burtner, members of the finance COM
| mittee Of the city council, Thursday.
City officials refused to discuss what
had taken place behind closed doors,
but it was learned the police judge had
considered the advisability of tender
| ing his resignation pending complete
vindication.
The police judge is expected to pay
the city treasurer the money due on
| police fines and the council will make
| a complete investigation of the charges
| that the records of the police court
We're not correct.
Should Police Judge Meyers carry
out the plan to resign, it is probable
| a special meeting of the city council
| would be called at once to name a sue
| cessor. The state law gives the city
| council the authority to fill vacancies
! in any elective office, and it is believed
a successor would be chosen withouS
delay.
Police Judge Meyers is now COM
pleting his second term in office and
would have served four years at the
conclusion of his present term.
Since the state auditors report was
filed on Tuesday the city hall has been
visited by scores of persons who have
been taken into custody in the past
four years and who forfeited bonds
All were anxious to learn. if the money
they had paid in had been turned into
the treasury. All of the parties have
found the entries correct, it is said. ;,
The fee question continues to cause
the officers considerable uneasiness.
The fee dispute has been waging. for
some time. but the officers are not ac-
cuSed of a criminal act as a result OF
i-that charge Officers for years have
collected fees in criminal cases and
their right to do so was not disputed
until the city council adopted an or
djnance in April, 1915. providing that
all fees collected should be turned over
to the city.
