I had quite a talk with the mayor concerning certain things that | he told me about the department and some of the things that he wanted changed.

The day followins my eclection chairman. we had a conference in his office. and he made certain state- ments 1o about certain members {of the department, and requested that they be removed This he thought was necessary for the best interest of the department. In jus- tice to these peopie I thought it was only fair to them to give this mat- ter serious thought and act accord- ingly after due and thorough inves- tigation. A day or two following the last interview the mayor called me to his ofMice shortly after one o'clock He was very much cxcited and man King of the police de was present at that time. He e that he had been trying me earlier in the day. He told me that a carnival had opened up on the Vihberts' lot on Stanley street, snd that there were qguite a number of cases of fever in that cinity, that the gquarantine was being broken and children were allowed to run around the carnival at free will and there was danger of spreading the disease Mavor lssues as me Orders, ip there and in- nd if necessary clean out carnival and drive them oul of He d I would have the backing of the entire police to Dr e ot vestigate comditions the town. to {epartment, if it Wwas necessary do so.

He said that it didn't make any difference to him who they were or what they were doinz, they couldn’t meet in the department rooms.

From the first organization of the board, it very apparent to the chairman that the mayor would clean out the department he has threatened to do.

The Walnut Street Case, “In reference to the Walnut street | inspection. whed the m: told the chairman that he wanted this particu- lar street inspected on both sides from end to end. I delivered a written order personally to the superinten- dent and work was started imme- diately. MHe did not say that he was in a hurry for a report on this in- spection, but he did say that he would like to see the report soon it was ready. ““The mayor charges the chairman with not keeping him posted on the doings of the department, This is ab- solutely false. The mavor has been informed in every particular. He has been furnished with the records o its meetings: he was handed a copy of the Walnut street surv and every ieasonable request that M Curtis made was complied with quickly as it was possible to do so “At the meeting Thurs, night he acted more like mad bull than a sane human bei He accused the present hoard of doing things that we absolutely knew nothing about and charged us with not doing u[lu\r' things that the old WaASs re- sponsible for.
