Magbe the same thing will happen over again then, t ich demoralizing stories, less the Police Commissioner closes his ears to su honest‘man who has keen hearing and good eyesight is bound to havea troublous-time as Police | Tommissioner. “At first the new Commissioner can: not believe that such universal cor- ruption can exist as he ericounters *at No. 300 Mulberry street. Such depravity, bribery, meanness, sub serviency and secret wire-pulling as are involved in police promotions are beyond the comprehension of any man who has not been con- fronted with them. In the old days of the bi-partisan board, transfers and promotions were sold like hams at a grocery store. To be appointed patrolman cost $300; a plain-clothes detail cost $250; a transfer in uniform cost from §25-to $100; promotion to-roundsman-cost $500 to $750; from_rounds+— man to sergeant $2,500 to $3,000; from sergeant to captain/anywhere =" fram $10,000 to $20,000, according to the _number_of places to be filled. The captains who expected to pay-oniy-$15,000 for their inspector ships must have regarded themselves as fortunate in getting in so cheap faz past inspectorships have been sold for twice that money, Since the civil war there has neyer been a time when transfers and promotions were not sold. Even when Theodore Roosevelt was Presi- ’ dent of the Police Board the majority of the men who were promoted paid. somebody for-their-promotions. May be they were flim-flammed, but at any rate they did not think so. : When. there were four commissioners and the patronage was divided there were regular promotion auctions conducted by the commissioners’ secretaries or other confidential men. Different sergeants: would put in __their_ bids, and the man who bid highest was-made-captain. Since the days of the single commissioner matters have been con- acted differently. Neither Greene nor McAdoo nor Bingham would himself take dirty money, But every one of them has had men close to ——him who deceived the commissioner and profited by it. cece: begin with the civil “service examinations, where Papers are purchased, records arranged and percentages i —Then-the-reports made tothe commissioner aoe TRETSEE? aid ooo of the eligible candidates are fixed, The whole Police system: is bent upon the deception of the benightes man—who{5-the head-of the-te= Partment,-and-on the promotion of only such men as can be relied upon, : _ Why should a polite captain he-willing-to pay $15,000 to be made an inspector?
