POLICE BOARD GIVES
POST TO BAMFOR7H
2 Votes for Bamforth and Q Blank;
Steele Present

The choice Of Samuel Bamforth to
be lieutenant of police was made at
the meeting of the board Of police
commissioners last evening, two vot-
ing for his appointment and two OF
the commissioners voting blank
Lieutenant Bamforth and Sergeant
William c. Hart took the civil serv-
ice examinations for advancement in
the department. Hart receiving a
mark Of 50 and Bamforth 50. Chair
man r. f. King discussing the ap-
polntment this morning said that the
board took the view that civil serv-
ice examinations do not necessarily
establish any one mans claim to
appointment. The object Of the
examina tons is to eliminate incom-
petents. In this case both men
were shown to be competent, the
younger officer having the higher
average. The difference in the stand
ing was seven points and did not
prove serious greater superiority
this point the commissioners did
not exactly agree. In the opinion of
members who favored the appoint
ment Of Bamforth they regarded him
faVorably because of his more varied
experience. BY reason of training
and temperament they regarded him
as better equipped to treat with the
men under him and the people with
whom he would come in contact
They also regarded the cooperation
in the department between the new
lieutenant and the men of the force
Those favorable to Hart practically
conceded the argument that il would
be unjust to Bamforth to put him
out ON the street.
The members discussed the changes
necessary in the event of the appoint
m lent Of Hart. A re-assignment OF
the sergeants would be entailed and
would upset the whole plan of the
department. Although the commits
sioners disagreed on the merits of the
candidates when the motion was put
Bamforth had two votes and two
were blank and Chairman King de-
clared Bamforth the choice.
The mmissioners decided they
would return the contract for the
purchase OF the REQ automobiles to
the council for approval. This mat
ter was discussed at great length.
Commissioner Howard NJ. Steele,
who received an invitation from
Mayor Quigley to resign, was pres
ent. AS yet he has not compiled
with the r. S. Y. P. noted on the
bottom Of the invitation. He told
his associates last evening that he
