Mayor Regrets His
Reason for Putting
Bunker on Streets

Sorrow accumulated the burrows
in Mayor Carson's face Tuesday as
he passed his hand across his brow
several times and paused to reflect
upon the waywardness of an old
friend. He had just read the news
that Capt. Guy L. Bunker, cOnsid-
cred an efficient chief Of police by
the Goetz administration and cap
tain under Mayor Keller, has been
reduced 10 the ranks because Of an
old grudge.
Monday night Mayor Carson had
told the newspaper men how Capt
Bunker had crossed his path three
years ago.
you know, boys" said the may
or, Il was called 20 Capt. Bunker's
Office one night because in driving
down Michigan st. my automobile
had splashed mud upon the dress
Of a woman crossing the thorough
fare. Think of it" Bunker claim
ed he was speeding.
The newspaper men straightway
Incorporated in their articles how
Capt Bunker's reduction was due
to a personal difference between the
new mayor and the officer.
Hence the sadness which per-
meated the mayors Office while the
American beauties on his desk
dropped their heads in abject sym
pathy.
why my friend" he said TO
Of The News-Times
Tuesday afternoon, 4 am so sorry
that that article appeared in the
paper regarding Capt. Bunker and
myself.
Mrs. Bunker herself is a fine
woman. One of the finest women
in the city and she has perhaps had
more work done at my Office and
thrown more work my way than
any one person in town.
ct is too bad this story was
printed"

Statement of Safety Board.
ITO the Public:
The members of the Carson
board Of public safety desire TO say
to the people that the first thought
OF this board is satisfactory service
for the public. We appreciate now
and hope to appreciate more and
more as we enter further and fur
Their into the work before US that
our greatest duty is to the people.
We accepted appointment TO the
board with that conces = ton Of the
office and we intend TO realize that
conception 10 the fullest degree con-
ditions will permit.
I'VE have a full sense of the
great task that confronts us. We
already understand that police and
fire service are two of the most i'm
perative requiem ents Of a city and
that those requirements cannot be
satisfactorily supplied unless the ele-
ment of highest efficiency enters into
and is paramount in both. Having
that view we assure the public that
the greatest aim in our work will
be TO place both the police and fire
departments in the highest state OF
efficiency in the belief that the peo-
pie deserve this. pay for it and
should have il. We can state in full
truth that in the police and fire de-
partments we already realize that
the city has the basis of strong and
efficient organizations. Each de-
partment possesses men who are
worthy the consideration that will
be given them and whose greatest
desire is to render satisfactory SER
vice.
I'VE know, and so does the pub
lie. that, if reforms are needed, thew
cannot be brought about in a day
or a week, but we assure the peO-
pie that the departments under our
direction will be studied with the ut
most discernment Of which we are
capable in the hope that we may
soon put in operation the machinery
that Will create the highest charac-
ter of efficiency in these depart
