He have five deputies, to be appoirited by the Commissioner from force, with a division of power and duties among the boroughs. He d reorganize the Detective Bureau from the top down and from the ‘up, to have only honest and efficient men, ir. Byrnes believes that’ the first condition of reform is to free the ot merely from political but from “local influences"—meaning sly both Tammany Hall and the Republican city machine, The ential is also one long insisted upon by The World—A MAN at ad of the force.
