He has served the city longer than any’ other officer, However, the commission did not promote two pa- trolmen to the rank of captain, as had been planned ac- cording to the call issued for a special meeting yester- day afternoon. Reason given is that only the police chief has that power under the city charter, ent of Cabrera, The appointm SERENE 00 es served ae Paice Capten 3 for two years, was proposed by Polio Benefit Commissioner Delio Cobo and sec- jonded by Jack Delaney. In the voting, they along with Mayor C. 'B. Harvey and Commissioner Paul R. Roberts voted yes while Com- ‘missioner Louis Carbonell Earlier, Carbonell had charged that the four members of the commission were “playing poll- tics” in making the appointments, But the remaining four commis- sioners fought back at that accusa- tion in a table-thumping, name- calling session which threatened at one point to get out of hand.
