NEW RRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, IANUARY 26, 1017. " SUPERS ARE TERMED SUNSHIE COPS Mayor Quigley Scores Unwilling Supernumerary Police The charter revision ocompleted its business last eve- ning, after many weeks of close attention to public affairs. Roll call last evening showed the following members in attendance: Judge Ber- nard F. Gaffney, Clerk Herbert V. Camp, Mayor George A. Quigley, Thomas H. Kehoe, Alderman M. I. Jester, Ernest L. Teich, Safety Com- missioner Howard M. Steele, Repre- sentatives Edward F. Hall and Richard Covert and E. W. Christ. The minutes of the previous meeting were Tead by Clerk Camp and ap- praved. Clerk Camp moved that the draft concerning the changes in the city court be taken from the table, and he moved their adoption. Councilman Teich asked regarding the taking of appeals from the decision of the court to the superior court, stating that he could see no sense in it. Mayor Quigley said that the changes were not being recommended so much for cases as to get the jurisdic- tion to naturalize citizens. He be- Heved that most of the lawyers would take their important cases to Hart- ford. Clerk Camp agreed with the mayor that the intent was more for naturalization purposes. Mr. Kehoe favored the adoption of the draft if it was to benefit residents desiring to be naturalized. The matter was put to a vote and was adapted unani- mously. A letter from the corporation coun- sel was read in regard to the city plan commission, in which that body was simply to act as an advisory board to the other boards now gover! ing this end of the matter, the mayor to be a member.of the commission. The other members of the revision committee agreed that the mayor should serve on the plan commission, but Mayor Quigley said it was im- posing duties on an executive he would be unable to attend to properly. The letter was placed on file. | Clerk Camp moved that previous actign of the committee in adopting the draft of the safety board be re- considered, and an amended clause giving the safety board, on Tecom- mendation of the chief of police, the right to remove or penalize without a hearing, any supernumerary police officer or callman in the fire depart- ment, who may be charged with in- subordination or charges meriting the above punishment. Mr. Camp clearly outlined the draft and explained that at present many of the supernumerary officers decline to work unless the job Basigned them is to thetr-liking, such as theaters or dance halls. Mayor Quigley branded this kind of policemen as ‘“sunshine workers” stating that it has been called T his attention that some of the men refuse to work if it is too hot, or if they have company at home, or on nights when the moon is'not out. “If I was chief of police last Sunday (re- ferring to the meeting of the supers) I would have cleaned out the room,” he said. ‘“We have a good and faith- ful chief, who has told me that he has had to plead with some of the ‘supers’ for hours and days to get them to do some necessary work. I believe that such action is insubor- -dination, and the orders of the chief should suffice.” Continuing, the mayor said that if committee preference was shown to men who | had been faithful in responding when called upon, he believed that it was good judgment on the part of the | chief, rather than favoritism. o me it looks as if the supernumerary police are trying to run the city, but they want to get rid of that idea right away,” he added. In regard to the fire department, the mayor more lenient, speaking of the har- mony existing and the faithfulness of most of the members. Clerk Camp, however, spoke of the disposition on the part of some of the callmen to refuse to become permanent men. The proposed amendment was un- animously adopted. Representative Hall asked how the bills would be presented, stating that he believed that all should be sent in at once. The changes will have to be acted upon at the February meeting of the ccommon council for approval. Mayor Quigley brought up the mat- ter of the additional cost for the re- pairs made at the Prevocational school. He recommended that a bill be presented to the General Assembly whereby $15,000 can be taken from the bond issue for buildings, and used for general purposes. The mayor ex- ST ———————— GREAT REJOIGING BY RHEUMATIG GRIPPLES It So Crippled You Can’t Usc Arms or Legs Rheuma Will Help You or Nothing to Pay.
