BANNICK SAYS
SEvERYSS WRONG
Former Chief OF Polics w. Il.
Seyeryns' statement that he Is
powerless to discharge men and
clean up the police department
WAS contradicted by Acting
Chief Claude 6. Bannicl, in
statement to Acting Mayor Mrs.
Henry Landes Friday.
THE condition OF beat Is. the
measure of a patrolman,s honesty
and cficiency." Bannick said. IF
patrolman's beat is known to be bad
and II law VACATIONS go on n It, the
city charter provides that that is
ample ground for dismissal. It also
provides that the civil service COM
mission shall accept that reason as
sufficient ground for dismissal"
The city council Friday was pre-.
pairing to step into the police depart
ment turmoil.
A meeting of the department ef.
ficiency committee of the council
was called by Chairman Ralph
Nichols to discuss with Acting Chief
Claude G. Bannick methods by
which the council may check up on
the city police department.
The committee met with Acting
Mayor Mrs. Henry Landes and
Capt. Bannick in the mayors office.
Nichols vigorously opposed the
addition of any new men to the po-
lice force or salary increases to the
patrolmen until the department has
been thoroly cleansed Of its unde.
siiable element.

BOARD WANTS
SUGAR CONTENT
REMAIN SA M {

That the minimum sugar content
of grapes should remain at II per
cent as is now provided by the
state legislature and could not be
raised to 10 per cent, according to
the demand of the San Joaquin
grape growers. was determined at
the meeting of the board of super
visors recently.
The resolution will be presented
before the state legislature when it
convencs, January 5, and is drawn
up as follows:
Whereas, it has been called to
the attention of this body, that the
grape growers of the San Joaquin
Valley are. advocating that the
minimum sugar content of grapes
be raised to a19 per cent.
"Further, the raising of the pre-
sent standard for grapes would
mean the harvesting of Imperial
Valley s grape crop during the
month of August, the season of the
year when it is absolutely impos-
sible to obtain help and due to the
extreme heat during the month of
August the grapes will be severely
burned, which would reflect mater
tally ON the net returns to the grow
ers.
"And Further, if the sugar con-
