MEN Helm and Campbell Are Made | “Spectals” Alter Long Decision Helm, a foreman, and Campbell, an inspector in the board of public works depart- ment, were last night designated & special policemen, by the board of po- lice commissioners at the regular ¥ebs ruary meeting, The action was taken by the board after a lengthy diseus- sion, in whieh Commigstoner Thomas *, Jackson opposed the naming of the Chuirman David 1L, Dunn pre- at the meeting, Commissioner Edwin A, Parker was absent The matter of naming the publie works employes as special policemen was brought up by Chairman Dunn He explained that Thomas W, Crowe, chairman of the public works depart- ment, had talked the matter over with him, and had pointed out some of the advantages to be derived by having one or two men in the de partment given permission to wear police badg In answer to a que tion by Commissioner William } Lange, Chairman Dunn said that the appointment of the men would entail any cost to the police depart- ment. The chairman also explained that the men to be named would be | under the supervision of the chief of | | police, the same as other members of the « tment, Chief Hart Favors Appointment, Chief Hart was asked his views in the matter, He sald that he be- lieved it might be a good plan to name the men, Commissioner Jackson said that he could see no reason for giving the men badges. Chairman Dunn read from the city ordinance a regulation applying to the appoingment of special police- ‘m"n. The rule specified that such officers will be for duty on specified property, and will be paid for such service as rendered by the parties benefited. Tt %is provided in the ordinance, however, that these special policemen shall have the power of a regularly appointéd patroiman, Com- missioner Lange asked Chief Hart if he thought the appointment would be |a help, and the chief answered in the| {affirmative. Commissioner T.ange moved that the request of the board of public| | works be granted, with the provision | that the privilege would apply only to the time that the men were in the | |employ of the city. Commissioner | Jackson seconded the motion. Commissioner Jackson explained | that in seconding the motion he was so doing to bring the question before the board for discussion. He then asked Chief Hart if the men to be appointed would be expected to per- form duties such as regular police- { men are called upon to do. The chief said that it would bhe within the pow- er of the specials to do so, should they see fit. Chairman Dunn said he did not believe the men would go out of their way or be over officious. He | cited instances syhere special police- fmm\ could he of assistance to the city, | in caring for work other than that for which the. privileges were sought. | Commissioner Lange said he believed | the men would be instructed by Chief | Hart in what was expected of them. Would Receive Special Pay, Commissioner Jackson asked the | question as to whether or not these | men would be paid for assisting in | or making an arrest, while in the em- | ploy of another branch of the city | government, Chief Hart said that alll special and supernumerary policemen are paid for performances of duty when not on regular duty, and the same rule would apply in the case of Helm and Campbell. This caused! | Commissioner Jackson to increase his opposition to the appointment of the men. He said he could not under- i stand why a man in the employ of the city would be paid for two jobs at the same time, explaining that in t} of Helm and Campbell they wete pre- ‘hulnflhly salaried men and that in the | event of their being present in police | court, and getting remuneration for | their work, they would also he paid | for their time by the other board. | "Chict Hart explained that the money paid in this manner is taken |out of the costs assessed against a | prisoner. Commissioner Jackson said that in the case a man arrested by | the special policemen wag discharged |and there then being no costs to col- | lect, the city would have to pay the policemen. It was the opinion of Commissioner Jackson that the police | commission should in every way safe- guard the city against additional ex- | pense. Chairman Dunn said he be- lieved a new ordinance covering such situations should be drawn up by the common council, Commissioner Lange said that if his motion was going to create an em- barrassing situation he would gladly withdraw it | .Comm oner Jackson said he was; oppased to giving a badge to a man just to allow him to frighten one. irman Dunn said that there are many instances where a badge in | the po; on of somé city officials | works out to dvantage Commissioner Lange said, however, that he felt it would be proper to tr: out the plan, and if it proved u factory the board could chang cision. Chairman Dunn exp similar opinion. Commissioner Lange said there is no doubt that some of the laborers at times become unruly, and that a badge might have a bene- ficial effect Chairman Dunn ‘ex- plained that in the matter of closing roads to traffic a man with a badge | could get autoists 10 obey commands better than a man without one. Com- missioner Jackson said thers was | nothing to show that the granting ot the privilege was for the enforcement | of the law. He then said he favored | giving the plan a trial Bills ¥rom Fire Department. Clerk McGrail reported the receipt | of bills from the fire department for | suppiies and repaire to.lhc building.

WALLACE | o the SureRelief FOR 25¢ and 75¢ Packages Everywhere The item concerning the repairs | brought about some discussion, It was pointed out that werk whieh in- volved an expenditure of slightly over $11, the police department portion, | was done by the fire department, without the knowledge of the police commissioners, It was the consensus among the eommissioners that in sueh | police board and the fire boards should have an understanding Commissioner Jackson said he did not believe it w falr for the poliee commission to be asked to gay for work it knew nothing about, and had not contracted for, Commissioner Lange sald that such bills should have the sanetion of the'chairman of the police hoard Another item on the bills was for supplies, It was explained that these kind of bills are usually paid for in' gasoline, and that should this course be pursued, the police board will have to puy 70 gallons of gasoline to the fire department, Chairman Dunn said he favored a new system of pur.| chasing of supplies for the police d artment, The matter of the pay ment was left with the chairman, Lighting Bill Held Up, Bills received from the Connecticut| Light & Power Co. were held up pending some changes as recommend- ed by the clerk. He reported that the total bill as sent by the company was $303, whereas the correct amount was I'he total bills approved amounted to $993.94, | Chief Hart submitted his monthiy| report, which showed 148 arrests dur- ing January. The chief also reported sick leave for various men as follow: rgeant George C. Ellinger, 2 day Sergeant Michael J. Flynn, 7 Patrolman Thomas Storey, 18 day: Patrolman Michael Meehan, 31 days; | Patrolman Patrick McAvay, 2 days, | and Patroiman Walter Malona, 6 days. The chief reported the need of two new revolvers for new patrolmen who have just started on duty. He was empowered to purchase the same, He also reported the need of new badges, explaining that at the present time, there is not a spare badge in the | department. This matter was laid over until the next meeting. Chief Hart also favored the sccuring of the init , N. B. . for the collars of the uniform coats of the men. Safe is Unsafe The need of bolstering up the wood- en piers under the safe in the police headquarters, was called to the atten- tion of the commissioners, by the chief: He said that should a fire ever oceur under the spot where the safe now stands, it would drop into the cellar. . A report was received from a local coal deaier, that he will have a car- load of soft coal in about a week, which the board may purchase at $11 a ton. As the supply is low, it was deemed advisable to look into the matter, and on a nfotion by Commis- sioner Jackson, the chairman was em- powered to confer with the chairman of the fire board, to ascertain whether that department is willing to purchase half of the carload.
