I Council will bo asked to choose

and council will have the right to
make such e/joice. The pollco com
mission under tho. present arrange
ment is all powerful and a perfect
right to reduce or dismiss ('blot

lt chose not to exorcise, to have ?ls
mlseori 'him outright without either
trial or hearing and to appoint a man
in his stead. But IhlB power Js mere
ly delegated to the police commis

bc asked to abolish thc police com
mission cntlretly, and chango the

that co-.mctl itself shall have fJhe

councllmanic polico board, wh-tee
actions; would require rutificu??or? by
council Just as in tho case of the
board of fire, masters. The cMcf of

No surprise was occasioned by the

any change In its own laws during
the war would bo an unjustifiable
departure from its policy of strict
