Supemumerary Suspended
At special meeting Of the board
OF police commissioners held last
Tuesday evening. Supernumerary
Policeman Arthur Myers was sus-
pended until further action BY the
board on charges Of insubordination.
Mayor John F. Wade presided at the
meeting which was attended by
Councilmen Raymond Crumb and
Homer Judd, Chief Ernest T. Beldep.
Sergeant Daniel McGillicuddy, Po-
liceman Myers and Attorney J. P.
OConnell who represented Myers.
Considerable secrecy apparently
surrounded the meeting and this
morning when the Herald repre-
sentative called at the office of the
city clerk to look over the minutes
they were not to be found in the
book In which the police board min
utes are recorded. The information
was passed out however that Coun-
Gilman Crumb who is secretary OF
the police board had instructed that
If anyone asked to see the minutes
they should be informed to get In
touch with Councilman Judd who is
also a member OF the police board
However, he informed the writer this
morning that so far as he knew
there was nothing secret about the
meeting. He willingly divulged the
information regarding the suspen-
sion.
The meeting which was called al
the request of Supernumerary Myers
lasted approximately three hours. II
is understood that Myers protested
because of the fact that he was no.
receiving larger share of the work
assignments, 1t being his contention
that as he had served during the Sc
we're winter weather he was entitled
to more consideration than other
supernumeraries at this time. 1t is
also understood that he intimated to
Chief Belden that he would proba-
bly, be used more regularly II he told
everything he knew az did some Of
the other officers. When 1t was
pointed out to him by the chief that
he had worked considerably more
than any other supernunaerary, al
though he was one of the last ap-
pointed. Myers stated that he would
bring the matter before the police
commission. The meeting last Tues
day evening was the result.
