Chief Of Police Is
Retired On Pension
Max w. Richard Retires Due
To Physical Disability-Sgt. J.
B. Brown Named Acting Chief.

Police Commissioner M. r. Ell
linger announced on Monday morn
ing that Police Chief Max w. Rick
ard is to be retired on pension as of
June l. and has been placed on
leave of absence until that time.
The Commissioner also announced
that Sgt. j. B. Brown was appoint
ed acting Chief of Police, effective
Monday morning, until such time
as permanent appointment is
made.
II was also announced that Patrol
man Harold B. Kiser has been pro
NOTED to the rank Of acting sergeant,
to fill the post made vacant when
Sergeant Brown was named acting
chief.
The text of the Commissioners
statement follows:
Mayor Mills has received writ
ten request from Chief of Police
Max w. Richard for the privilege
of retirement as permitted by the
new City Charter. Chief Richard
has furnished statements from three
physicians who have thoroughly ex-
amined him and testify that the CON
dition of his health will not permit
his engaging in active police duty.
In view of this evidence and of
the authority given in the Charter
to the Mayor, the Mayor has adj
vised me that he proposes to auth
orize the retirement of Chief Rick
ard To this course / have given my
full assent, realizing that the effic-
iency of the Police Department can
best be promoted in a Chief who
does not suffer under a physical
disability.
"The nature of the disability des-
cribed by the examining physicians
makes it certain that active police
duty of the nature a Chief must per-
form can only further aggravate the
condition from which he is suffer
ing.
Accordingly Mayor Mills has to-
day authorized the placing Of Cap
tain Richard on the retired list eff
fective as of June /, 1949, as pro.
vided in the Charter. In the mean
time he is being relieved of all duties
in connection with the position Of
Chief, effective as of today. l an
appointing Sgt. ] b. Brown as Act
ing Chief Of Police until such time
as a permanent appointment il
made"

At a special meeting of the Mayor
and Council, held on Tuesday after
noon at 5 o'clock, Mayor H. L. Mills
released to the press and radio
four-page statement on the financial
status of the city, based on the
auditors report of J. Elvin Unger,
CPA, which is now in the hands of
the printer and will be available in
about ten days.
In his statement, Mayor Mills ac-
cused former Mayor Sweeney's adj
ministration of lack of ordinary
business planning" with the result
that the city's surplus of around a
million dollars at the beginning of
1947 accumulated during the war
years, has been practically wiped
Yout, due to the fact that in 1947 and
1913, and during the first three
months of 1949 (the Mills Admins
tration took over on April /, 1949)
the Sweeney Administration spent
close to half million dollars more
than it took in, and that the remain
ing half a million will be necessary
to finance 1949 projects not provid-
ed for in the 1949 budget, and to
supply a reasonable amount of OPP
Grating cash.
Because of this condition, Mr..
Mills statement declares that the
present administration is faced with

of Hagerstown to approve bond

eded to pay for the expansion and
modernization of the Municipal
Light Plant, now going on. The al
tentative to such bond issue, Mr..
Mills says, would be terrific and
unbearable increase in our tax
rates.
Under the new Charter, the bond
issue of $1,5O0,000.00, proposed by
Mayor Mills, will have to be voted
on by the voters of Hagerstown at
special election, and it is presum-
ed that the machinery for such a
special election will soon be set up.
Mr.. Mills also stated that, if the
bond issue is approved by the voters,
a sinking fund will be created by
his administration, from the earn
ings of the light plant, to pay the in
terest on these bonds and retire
them.
The Mayor, in his statement, al
so pointed out that, not only the
tax rate, but also the water and sew
er rates, are very low, whereas it
seems only natural that the costs of
city services and utilities should have
been raised, since wages and every
thing the city uses and buys, have
increased in price.
After reading his statement to the
members of the Council, there was
brief discussion, after which the
Council authorized the sale of $780,
600 of bonds held by the city, which
mature on June l, 194s, the pro-
ceeis to be placed in the general
funds account Of the city.
