Refuses to Indorse the Sugges- tion of a Long Term for Po- lice Commissioner, but Thinks Mayor Should Serve 4 Years. The most striking thing in the second part of the Mayor's annual read to the Roard of Aldermen this af- fernoon is his commendation of Police Commissioner Partridge, whom he prac- tically removed from office, The mes- Gage deals with subjects that were not touched upon in the earller part of His Honor's message. It was referred to the committee in charge of the subject of which St treats. ‘The’ message shows that the gross Bebt of the city increased $22,241,199.66 uring 1902, but the Mayor asserts that fhe additional burden of taxation is Wery light. He gives figures to show Phat the increase In interest on the debt, Payable by taxation, during the year was only $146,214.33. ‘The Blackimatl Evil, In speaking ‘of the Police Department the Mayor says: “The police are as brave a force as ny city could wish; neither do they Unck efficiency in other directions. The police problem, however, is exceedingly dificult. Fundamentally considered, the problem is how to effect a complete change in the morale of a force num- bering nearly eight thousand officers fd men; how to substitute in this large body of men, for the idea of pro- tecting each other no matter what the other may do, the ideal of protecting the city that pays them against wrong- idotng by a policeman even more surely, $f need be, than against wrongdoing by ne not connected with the force; in a | Jword, the end to be achieved is to make ft impossible, by reason of the public ‘opinion of the force itself, or any mem- | Wer of the force, high 0: low, to use his / ‘position for the purpose of private gain | Of bourse, I do not mean that all the | members of the force do such things mow. I mean only that the public opin- ion of the force row tolerates these ighings which it ought to prevent." Ay Praise for Vartridge.
