[the ranks of sergeant, | taited NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1922, Patrolman Michael Flynn Named New Sergeant; Theaters Must Have Police at rMartin‘ee Shozs_ Patrolman Michael J, Flynn last| night was promoted to be a sergeant| {in the police department, at a meet-| |ing of the police board that lasted | |until after midnight, It was not| |until elght ballots were taken that| Flynn was made the unamlious choice of the commission Flynn recently passed the civil serv-. fce examination with a general aver- {age of 99, and this splendid mark was referred to by Commissioner Thomas| {F. Jackson, in nominating Flynn, and |championing him several times dur- ing the evening. Dunn for O'Mara. Chairman David L. Dunn nominated |Policeman Patrick O'Mara, calling| attention to his splendid record as a/ member of the special vice squad de- tail Chairman Dunn spoke of the fine manner that O'Mara did the often unpleasant duties thrust upon him, and despite the character of the| work, he did nothing to cause a re-| flection either upon himself or the| department Parker for Massey. Commissioner Edwin A. nominated Policeman Michael M sey, calling attention to the many times, when there was a shortage in he was de-| to do street duty as a ser- |geant, and to the capable manner in which he carried out this work. Commissioner Willlam F. Lange, in seconding the nomination of Massey. sajd that he belleved that priority should be glven some consideration, as in the case of Massey. Mr. Lange sald that elevating young men juat; because they manage to have a few points the better of older men in the ranks for promotion, is not in his opinion for the best results. Soon older men will not have much to look forward to in the department in the matter of promotion, he said. The commission expressed regret that it was not within its power to name Traffic Supervisor Clarence Lanpher to the position. The or- dinance states that promotions shall be made from an eligible list after a civil service examination and Lan- pher did not take the examination. Commissioner Jackson spoke on this matter before the balloting com- menced. He said that Lanpher had no doubt acquainted himself in a thorough manner with laws pertain- ing to traffic and that it was regret-| table that he did not take the exam- ination. The commissioners concur- |red that had he taken the examina- tion, he would have been the choice.| Commissioner Parker asked if there is any necessity at this particular time to elect a sergeant. ~Chalrman | Dunn sald that the sentiment of the board at a previous meeting was fa- vorable to the naming of a new ser- geant, and it was with this in mind| | that the civil service board was asked to hold an examination to secure a, list of eligibles. Commissioner Park- er asked of Chief Hart if it was in keeping with his policy to make shifts | in the sergeants from time to time if he wanted a new man elevated at| this time. The head of the depart- ment answered in the affirmative. Chief Hart said that the new man to be named would not necessarily be designated as a day sergeant. New Work for Lanpher Parker |saying he would be thelr choice with- |out question. relative to the abllities of Policemen | Massey and O'Mara It was the con- | tention of Parker that Massey's work | as acting sergeant entitied him to consideration Dunn on the other hand contended that O'Mara had| done such meritorious work in clean- ing up liquor violators that he was, the man for the place. Commission- er Parker sald that the only detec- tive experience O'Mara had was| when he was going around collecting evidence of liquor violators, and this was done sometimes by giving a man | a $10 bill to do it with. Chairman Dunn said that Massey never had any | detective experience. Commissioner Jackson sald that to his mind a po- | liceman who could attain such a splendid mark as Flynn did in the civil service examination, was cer- tainly entitled to every considera-| tion. Lange For Priority Commissioner Lange said that a man having 15 years experience in the police department was more qual- ified to be an officer, than a man having but four years' experience. Mr. Lange said that the civil service | examinations change when boards change, and that it was possible that younger men might be a bit more clever in the manner in which they put across their answers. The com- missioner maintained that priority was one of the big factors why Mas- sey should be selected as sergeant. The commissioner said he had noth-| ing against either Flynn or O'Mara. | Commissioner Parker asked why fit| was that when there was need of a street sergeant to flll a vacancy when Policeman Massey was always chosen to act temporarily. Chalrman Dunn said this was a matter that was up to W. J. Rawlings, the former chief, who detalled whoever he desired to for the work. After the second, third and fourth ballots had showed the same results as the first two, the commissioners unanimously agreed that it was too had Lanpher could not be named, Fights For Massey There had been some talk on the street for several days that O'Mara had the backing of the mayor for the appointment to the place. During last night's session, Commissioner Parker said that it had been told him that O'Mara had said that a demo- crat had not yet been named a ser- geant. The commissioner said he would not say that this was so, as it was rumor entirely. Commissioner Lange said that no politics should en- ter into the doings of the police com- mission. He then again urged Com- missioner Jackson and Chairman Dunn to get together and see if one of the candidates could not be elim- inated. Mr. Lange said that Massey, according to public opinion, was the logical man for the place as ser- geant. Commissioner Parker asked Chair- man Dunn if he was hiring a man for his own personal business if he would not pick Massey. Chairman Dunn sald in answer that Massey would be his last choice. Following a discus- sion by Commissioner Jackson and Chairman Dunn, a ballot was taken, resulting in Flynn getting two votes SureRelief | OR |_N DIGESTION (g Sure Relief and 75¢ Packages Everywhere tection afforded the theaters will off- set this, Chjef Hart will work out the details of this change. The board voted to indefinitely postpone action in the application of Willard Crandall for appointment as a supernumerary policeman. The record of the man was looked into, and it was on this that the board took the action last night. Alfred Cayer, of 278 North street, appeared before the board last night as an applicant for appointment to the supernumerary department. He has bheen 10 years in the United States army, receiving his discharge last December. He {s not an elector in this city. He was told to bring his army discharge pa- pers to Chief Hart for inspection. Clerk McGrail was empowered to make a request of the common coun- cil, that two carloads of soft coal be purchased. If purchased at this time, the coal can be had at $11.50 a ton. Clerk McGrail reported that a re- quest had been received from the fire- men in the central station, for per- mission to use thelr lavatory and bath room of the police department. Per- mission was granted the firemen to use the rooms between the hours of 6 a. m. and 6 p. m. The matter of caring for the furnace heating both the police and fire stations was left with Chief Hart to take up with Chief W. J. Noble of the fire department, A letter was received from Michael J. Kerwin, secretary of the civil serv- ice commission, stating that Stanley Dombroski, a supernumerary police- man, had corrected misstatements in his appltcation for promotion to the patrolmen force. On a motion by Commissioner Parker the suspension of Dombroski was lifted. The monthly report of Chief Hart was read and accepted. In his report the chief recommended that a tele- phone be installed at the home of Chief Detective Sergeant W. P. McCue, and that a phone be installed in the detective bureau, which will be separ- ate from the one now used by the probation officer. The chief was granted permission to have an extension phone placed in the detective bureau, and that a phone be installed in Sergeant Me- Cue's home. The board discussed the advisability of taking out the phone paid for by the city in the home of Lieutenant Bamforth. It was later de- cided that the committee of the com- mon councll which is investigating the phones which are pald for by the city, be notified that there are two phones row being paid for by the city that could be dispensed with. It was voted that the common coun- cil be asked to place the matter of the care of the traffic posts, and the lan- terns used on thera at night under the bogrd of public works. Chief Hart brought up the matter of the matron at the police station. He said that at present Mrs. Metty is | siding there.

YOU HAVE There’s a brand new STATE in New England! STATE full of better cooking for years to come. A New England cooks prepare over a million break- fasts every morning on Crawford Ranges — good breakfasts, too, as you know. Now those New England women are frankly delighted with the new State Crawford Range. We want you to see it. The State Crawford is finished in black, or in grey enamel, as you prefer, and the gas end oven gives you great flexibility and unusually large cook- ing space, both in the oven and on the top. The white splasher at the back of the range is of immaculate porcelain enamel, and is easy to clean with a damp cloth. You honestly would never -have believed that a coal range could be so good- looking. But its looks are no better than its cook- ing — or its construction. b It has the same single-damper control that makes perfect cooking surprisingly simple; the same scien- tific heat circulation; the same lifetime sturdiness that has enabled Crawfords, built 40 years ago, to give good service today. paid a dollar a day for services, and that sometimes there i{s nothing that she has to do. Economy Drive, | As an economical move, it was sug- gested that the matron be paid for Jjust what work she does, and anoth- er plan was to see Miss Cora Beale, assistant probation officer, in regard to her taking over the work, with the exception of the cleaning, etc. Com- missioner Jackson sald that in view of the long service rendered by Mrs. and Massey two, O'Mara having been eliminated.
