Commissioner Is Silent
On Ex-Chief's Charges

w. B. C1oe, commissioner of public
safety, refused to comment Saturday
on charges made by s. A. Middleton,
retiring chief of the fire department
The ex-chief charged, upon going out
of office Friday. that Commissioner
Cloe had played politics in the adj
minfstration of the department, that
his entire administration had been a
losing proposition to the city and that
he had caused people of Birmingham
thousands of dollars loss in high in
surance rates.
Il am too busy to be bothered
with such matters" said Commission
or Cloe, when questioned regarding
his reply to- Mr.. Middleton's charges
Chief Middleton's resignation,
which was accepted by the commits
sion two weeks ago, came as the re-
suit of friction between him and
the public safety commissioner. He
had been identified with the fire
department for rs years, eight of
which he had served as chief.
