New Bill Seen As
 Attempt To Keep
 Hurley In Office
Ex-Mayor of Danbury May Not Land State Police Com
 missioner If Republican Strategy Wins in Test With Cross-Top-Heavy Drift Would Enguf Hat Town Leader s

Have the. democrats of the state celebrated too prematuredly the ap- pointment of former Mayor Anthony Sunderland of Danbury of state police commissioner? Waterbury's democratic members of the state legislature are very suspicious of a bill presented within the past few days. 1t Is so framed as to deprive the governor of his power of ap- pointing state police commissioner and is intended to invest the author ity in the hands of the attorney general. state treasurer and a third member to be named by the gov- err1or. This arrangement means at present that two republicans would have the ''say so'' on the selection of the commissioner. The creation of board of directors Gs the com mission would be considered must be made on or before July list, 1881. As Commissioner Robert T. Hur- ley's term of office expires July 31st, there is still possibility of him being retained and of former Mayor Sunderland being left holding the bag"
 If such developments eventually take place MT Sunderland is most likely to lose the promised position of state police commissioner. As he withdrew from the race in the re- cent city elections of Danbury, which his party won so handsome Iy, he will join for the time being the ranks of the unemployed.

NEW POLICE PATROL
 NOW IN READINESS
Machine Housed in Garage Until the Fine Weather Sets In
OLD ONE STILL IN USE


 The new police patrol purchased by the city of Waterbury several weeks ago Is now in readiness to be placed in commission. On it's arrival here direct from the factory 1t was inspected by members of the police board and then returned to the local Cadillac agency for number of accessories and general emergency equipment. It was re- turned yesterday to the police and is now parked in the departments garage. It Is the plan of Superin- tendent Joseph H. Mclean to keep it in reserve until the city's streets have regained something of their former pre-winter condition.
 The new patrol is so equipped as to be in readiness to respond to am- bulance calls. It will no longer be the practice to carry injured people to the hospitals in stretcher placed on the floor of the patrol. A projectory seat running the of the many features of the equip ment. Over the drivers head is a compartment in which first aid medicines and bandages can be car- ried. There is also a gun racket in which one or two rifles can be placed. This also forms separate compartment, so the weapons will be out of sight of prisoners or curi- ous inspectors.
 The old patrol, which has served the city for many years, may be kept a few weeks more until the arrival of good weather. After travelling some 10000 miles 1t is still ready to bring in few hun dred more offenders.
 The only speculative interest about the patrol at present Is, who Is going to get the first ride?
