This he aturibute ‘to the facilities of communication be | tween the different station-houses and also to the Central Office, If the inspectors were attached to the Superintendent's staf and be directly amenable to him and subject to his or- !ders at any and all times, it would be impossible for captains or any other officert to anticipore a visit or to know ork ange ¢ direct! ice, or to such other report be te fegulations af the Pe ent witl the foregoing tesa alo.

It {s highly im- portant that the public department in general should not know the business or the plans nor secret affairs of the | executive head." | Commissioner Murray said that such radical changes as those propose: by his colleague should not be made with haste. He said that the Board had had some of the changes under advisement for sometime, but It was decided to post- | pone any action untli after the bills pertaining to the Volice Department Were dispoed of by the Legistature, Commissioner Andrews replied that the action of the Legislature Was somewhat uncertain, and that a longer delay than necessary might be entatled by waithng for the disposition of those bills, He said that the Department was under a cloud, and had been subjected to severp criticism, and something to Improve the service should be done at once. President Martin astonished every one | by stating that in his opinion the rese- lution of Commissioner Andrews did not xo far enough. Before he could make any explanation Commissioner Andrews interrupted by stating that “in th course of time I will ask that the Su- berintendent be empowered to detail as many captains, together with the th inspectors, for duty on his staff may deem advisable or nece SSary, President Martin said that one of the duues which should be imposed upon the Inspectors, in the event of Commis. sioner Andrews's plan going into effect, Was to try all delinquent officers for trivial offenses, That is, for offenses for which the penalty could not be dismis- sal from the force, These cases,” said President Martin, “should be tried and disposed of in the statlon-houses, and the Headquarters oMicials should not be lumbered np with that kind of business.”* ‘The Presiden’ also suggested that one jot the bilis at Albany contemplated an increase in the number of in “pectors, Commissioner Andrews stated that in the event of his plans being adopted there would be no need of any addi- Ulonal inspectors, as the Superintendent ‘vould be empowered to detail Captains for duty as Inspectors, After the meeting the reporters flocked into the Superintendent's office to wet an expression of opinion regarding the innovations proposed by Commissioner Andrews He locke] himself in, how- ever, and refused to be seen, but sent out this message by the doorman: “I have absolutely no comment to make. It would be indiscreet and highly improver to pase any criticism upon the action or proposition of my superiors,” Inspecto Williams, the only — other member the Department, who has yet come forward with a plan for re- construction, also refused to be seen.
