II is probable that a. the meeting
Of the Board of Aldermen on May
q, an ordinance will be introduced
which will wipe out all ordinances
and resolutions relating to the oper-
alton of the police department from
the date of the charter in order
that the department may be placed
VI a legal running basis. According
TO City Attorney DAVID T. Wilentz,
the charter of the city says that the
council of the city has the power
TO establish, regulate and control
a day and night police and to regu-
late ard define the M of their
appointment and removal, their du-
ties and compensations.
Since 1902, 1t Is pointed out, the
police department q been operat-
ing under an ordinance to which
has been added from time to time,
many resolutions which are Illegal
by reason of the provision in the
charter that the regulation OF the
Iolice department must be done by
ordinance.
This fact was pointed out by the
city attorney during the controversy
between the police committee and
mayor as a result of which the rules
of the department that had been a
dopted by resolution We're ordered
rescinded.
At the present time. according TO
the city attorney, the city is with
cut any regulation Of the police de-
partment except an ordinance adop-
ted in 1902 which is very meagre
and the legality of which was re-
Gently questioned by Former Sena-
Thomas Brown.
Although the mayor has the ap-
pointing power, according to the city
attorney, the council has the duty
and the right to define the manner
Of the appointments as well as the
manner of removal of the officers.
Alderman Albert Waters, chair
man OF the police committee and
City Attorney Wilentz, have been
working on the proposed ordinance
'or several weeks. The ordinance
will contain rules and regulations
or the department and it is likely
hat the ordinance will repeal all
previous ordinances and regulations
adopted for the govern
nent of the police department.
It Is understood to be the inten-
ion of the trainers of the ordinance
o consult the mayor before the or
finance is introduced as he is the
