twenty-five days and the pension to be
paid TO him thereafter"
And during those twenty-five days he
was paid continuously by the company!
Senator Downing asked.
Precisely. SO that while nominally
member of the police force SO that he
could be retired on pension, in point
of fact he was dlscharging no police
duty. but was receiving compensation for
services rendered to a private corpora
tion."
Most OF the day was spent going over
reinstatement cases. All the laws and
ordinances and Police Department rules
dealing with reinstatement or policemen
dismissed for offences were reviewed. II
was shown that In each of the twenty
nine cases cited the reinstatements were
in distinct violation of the rules. Sum-
ming UP this phase of the hearing Mr..
Brown said at the end of the session:
Mr.. Chairman. there seems to have
been some restlessness In relation TO
this evidence In regard to reinstatements
and I desire very briefly to state what
Its object was:
Under the statute these twenty <aine
reinstatements were not authorized by
law. The members of the force had been
disciplined by being dismissed for Of
fences. Their course in relation to ap-
plications for reinstatement had pro-
hibited them from making, under the
law, a second application. the first appli-
cation having failed. but they made the
second applications Notwithstanding the
plain meaning of the statute and were
restored illegally. This Is shown by the
opinion of the corporation counsel and
It is apparent on the face Of the statute.
It Is common sense, mere interpreta-
tion Of the statute.
TN quite a number OF these cases
early retiremeuts were made showing
that they were not taken back to save
the city, but for the purpose OF favortng
them, one OF the most notable cases
being that of Maher. just cited here, who
was taken back on March s. never dis
turbed In his occupation and retired on
the 226, undoubtedly drawing his pay In
the meantime for twenty-five days from
the Police Department. Such practices
should be put beyond the possibility OF
recurrence by amendment Of the statute.
and wish also to call attention to the
fact that a man who has been OF the
force for ten years and Is restored to the
force has to his credit in obtaining a
pension hts ten years OF absence while
he was not serving on the force, thereby
greatly enhancing the cost of public SER
Vice"
Senator Downing. Tammany member,
objected to Mr.. Browns summary and to
the evidence introduced regarding re-
instatem4nts, "As practical men," he
said. "sfr. Brown and others present
knew Influence was brought to bear both
in this and preceding administrations 70
get men back on the force, but there was
nothing wrong about It,"
The hearing will continue on police
affairs to-day.

Ashland Post number fourteen of
the American Legion is again in OPP
Grafton after a rest of several weeks
during which time the adjutant has
been so busy with other interests to
bother with this news service stuff.
Now, however we will tear off
about mile and see what the result
will be. We had splendid meeting
of the post last Tuesday night in
our club room at the Armory, and
lots of interesting things developed.
The point of keenest interest was
the annual election of officers for
the year 1922. Several hot contests
resulted from the battle of ballots.
But the final results were more than
satisfactory to all members present,
even the defeated ones, and the Le-
gion has a set of officers for next
year that will make things mighty
interesting for all ex-service men.
George Edwin Dunn was elected
commander by good majority over
his nearest competitor. "Ebe" is a
most enterprising young farmer who
ia really running the old Dunn farm
four miles east of Ashland, on the
Pacific highway. He was the nat
ural choice of the fellows who know
a real leader. Sail into it, Comman-
der Dunn, we are not BACK of you.
We are WITH you in every way you
may direct.
Lynn G. Slack was elected vice
commander, and If anybody ever
thought that the vice-cOmmander
job was an honorary position only
you have another guess comm this
year anyway. Lynn will be into the
ring with both feet. He has already
intimateJ that he likes feeds, so we
may expect him to have considerable
TO say regarding the social end Of
the Legion, next year.
S. A. Peters Jr. was selected as
adjutant. Can you beat that? Nope,
neither could we. lie was just nat
urally fitted for the job and almost
automatically slid right into the
place vacated by Adjutant Spencer.
s. A. will always be found at the
Citizens bank after January 10,

people the unwOnted atmosphere of
childhood at the Christmas season.
Carols will be sung also.

ASHLAND CAMP is USED AS
AN EXAMPLE OF TULSA
PARK IN PROSPECT
(From Thursdays Daily

Into the far reaches of the East,
North and South, the fame of Ash
lands auto camp travels-oil fields
not excepted. As evidence of the
many friends made for Ashland by
the camp, the following commenda-
tion is taken from The World,
Tulsa, Okla, as part of an open
forum letter published in that pa
per and written by Mrs, II. II. frey,
who passed through here last sum
mer, in answer to protests made
against a Tulsa tourist camp.
"At Ashland, Or, in Lithia Spring
park, one of the most beautiful parks
| ever saw, with springs of pure wa
ter and soda, sulphur and other
kinds ad libitum, with beautiful
lawns, walks. shrubs and trees ga
lore, real park, was a tourist camp
that made the dreary, dusty tourist
feel like singing some ones praises
to high heaven.
Parking spaces for cars, all num-
bered, with a care-taken to look af-
ter them, mae one feel that their
car and baggage were IN safe hands.
Inside a lovely concrete building
were lockers to correspond with the
numbers of car spaces, and gas
burners besides, which a quarter-in-
the-slot meter provided gas for three
or more meals, and large sinks and
drain boards, and plenty of good
water provided splendid chances for
a good cleanup" the delight of the
dusty tourists heart,
Don't forget for a minute that
the tourist who is made to feel that
he is wanted and welcomed in
town is going to remember that town
and speak a good word for 1t all
along the road. Ask your tourist
acquaintance if this is not so. 1t is
much easier to find good camping
sites through the west than the east
as the west depends much more on
the tourist or traveller for their rev
enue than the east"
