Civil Seryise Is Anxious to Help Ciyit service commissioners are anxious to assist Chief of Police W. B. Severyns in cleaning out the police department, they announced Wednesday, “We have always stood behind Chief Severyns; and are anxious to” rid the police force “of drunken and grafting officers,” the commission- ers said, “Severyns can go as far as he likes in firing policemen who are — unfit for the job and we will back — him up to the lmit,” they added. Mrs, Donnd 3. Baker, the only woman member of the commission, said that when she assumed office two years ago she privately informed Severyns she would vote for dis: missal of officers he recommended for dismissal in the interests of cleaner, more honest police depart- ment, “T have always stood for a clean police force,” Mrs, Baker said. “Offi, jcers found drunk in uniform should be summarily discharged.” Blame fo: reinstatement of numer- ous policem\n suspended for drunk: enness and other acts of similar character is placed squarely upon Chief Severyns and the department. Numerous cases have arisen where ,|the commission has been foreed to reinstate suspended officers because no facts wore advanced at the hear- ings to sustain tho charges, or else the charges were withdrawn, Under charter rules the civil serv. ice commission is held responsible for investigating charges made against suspended officers. ‘The provision provides that after charges are preferred against an of: flcer or employe it is the duty of the commission to investigate the charges and It ts not the duty of the chief of police or other department head to furnish the burden of proof te sub: stautiate the charges, | “If public sentiment wants polics ~
