It 4s especially important to note this, since the gen- eral purpose or policy of Congress in such legisla- tion, when once clearly apprehended, should have controlling eff -ct in the construction of doubtful terms. They should be presumed, if possible, to have a meaning im harmony with'such purpose, rather than one opposed thereto, Bearing this in Mind, we are prepared to state the question at issue, which isin brief whether by the sixth section of the act of 1878 Congress in bringin, | under the authority of the Commissioners an ditional number of officers, namely, those of the police force, Intended, as to them, to vary from its previous established ‘policy of confiding in those oniicers a discretionary power of appointment and removal? It may be fairly asserted that to maln- taln such an intent it ought to be shown by at lenst a very stronz inference, The language 1 that from a fixed date “the board of Metropolitan police and the board of School trustees sual be abolished, and that all the powers and duties now exercised by thei shall be transferred to the said Commisstoners of the Dis- trict of Columbia, who shall have authority to employ such officers and agents and to adopt such provisions as may be necessary to carry Into exe- Cution the powers and duties devolved upon them by this act” (20 St, 107.) THE POWERS AND DUTIES Teferred to will be found set forth in chapter 13 of the Revised Statutes of the District. The material point ts that the power of removal then exercised by the police board was limited by the following provisions: “ Each perso so appointed shall hoid | ollice only during such time as he shall faithrully observe and execute all the rules and regulations of the board, the laws of the United States, and the laws and ordinances existing within the Dis- trict, and which anply to any part of the Distric Whete the members of the force may be on duty. and said Commissioners | econd.
