SELECTMEN REFUSE
TO GIVE ASSENT
WOULD NOT CONCUR IN DIS
MISSAL OF DYER AND SAUL.
Polico Comrnitteo Wanted to Know
the "Cause" and When tho Mayor
Failed to alve Good and Sufficient
Cause, tho Majority of tho Com
mlttco Refused to Approvo His
Action His Honor Writes a Spicy
Letter to tho Polico Committee.
Select council lofuscs to concur In
tho dismissal of Patrolmen Dyer und
Saul or confirm tho appointment of
Acting Patrolmen Davis and Ilocken
berry, who wore appointed by Mayor
-Molr to succeed them.
The police, committee met .it 4.30
o'clock yesterday afternoon to give tho
maot an opportunity of explaining, If
ho saw lit, what was the "cause" of
the Dyer and Saul dismissals. The
mayor didn't appear to explain. In
stead ho sent tho following1 communi
cation: Mr L'dward James. Chairman Polico
Committee, Select Council.
Dear Sir: In reply to our Invitation,
rcqutst or summons to appear antl tes
tlfv boforo our committee, ns to my rea
son for removing Policemen Dyer nnd
Saul, I. as mayor, must most respectfullj
decline to appear, not recognizing your
right to mako anv such peculiar, not to
say discourteous request.
According to tho statute the mayor,
alone, la the only Judge as to the fitness
nnd efficiency of the Individual members
of tho force-; he Is to excrciso a constant
supervision over their conduct at all
times, nnd Is to bo in direct control, and
Is held responsible for tho etllclencs und
mm ale of tho entire force.
My constant nlm has been, and will be,
to rnlso and maintain lu tho foleo the
highest possible degree of efficiency. To
do this, I must have-, and think I am en
titled to havo men who will work and aro
In svmpathy with mo nnd my adminis
tration ; men In whom I inn reposo con
fidence; men who I nm sitislled nrc In
tent on tho honest, faithful performance
of their duties, and havo respect for inv
orders
LACKS CONFIDENCE.
Unfoitunattly I cannot place Messrs
Over and Saul In that list. I do not be
llcvo either to bo tho kind of men wo
should havo for patrolmen I havo no
cnnfltlenco in them and would not trust
either of them, and I am satisfied tho only
feeling they have towards mo Is con
tempt, and which they don't seek to con
ceal
I might stnto private reasons, but on
general principles, I havo sufficient causo
to Justify the position I have taken in
removing men who I know would bo a
decided hindrance nnd a constant annoy
nnce to mo In my honest endeavors to
give our city a good administration.
IJut, no matter what your committee
may decide upon, I can assuro them, and
most emphitically so, that neither
Messrs Djer and Saul will ever wear n
policeman's stnrwhllo I am mayor.
I remain your most obedient,

demand for Its reading and when coun

ed to know the "cause," Not being In
formed of any good and sufficient cause,
the committee declined to approve the
mayor's action.
Mr. Lansing then declared that ho
would not bo a party to removing offi

stated that tho fact that an officer was
not personally pleasing to the mayor
was not, to his mind, sufficient cause
