POLICE BOARD DOUBTS GOUNCIL’S AUTHORITY May “Kick Over Traces” at Meeting Tomorrow ight At the meeting of the board of po- lice commissioners tomorrow night, it is said, the board will issue a dec- laration of independence of the com- mon council with regard to the au- thority of the latter body to regulate affairs in the police department. While it has been rumored that such action will be taken, no confirmation of the report can be secured. The dispute between the board and the common council hinges on the appointment of Martin J. Moore, John O'Brien and Stanley Dombrosky to the regular police force. When they were given their badges these men were more than 36 years of age, the limit set by the council, al- though Chairman Dunn of ‘the police commission explained that their names had been taken from a list of candidates furnished by the civil service commission. The board will take the stand, it is understood, that the council lacks authority to inter- fere with the admisistration of the police department in such minor af- fairs and will assert its independence, basing its action on the charter which provides that the board shall have broad powers in the government jof the department. | Consideration will also be given at | the meeting to the petition from sixth | ward residents who asked the corh- | mon cotuncil to provide better police | protection, detail traffic men to guard crossings while children are on their way home from school, close stores | on certain streets on Sunday and to gee that the prohibition laws are strictly enforced. It is probable that the petition, which was referred to the hoard and the prosecuting attor- ney jointly, will be turned over to Chief Willlam C. Hart. It is said that some of the com- missioners are of the opinion that to order stores to close on Synday would | be to enforce old “blue laws” and the | question is one for the prosecutor to handle. 1t 1s Hkely that the board | { will approve of sending policemen | | into that district to protect children at street crossings but whether addi- tional policemen can be assigned to the territory for regular duty s doubtful.
