Nowhere in the United States press is there a vestige of sympathy for Mussolini. the would-be assassin of France, whose armies wear nin- ninz ohm doctor but when he contacted a member. of the relief conunittee he had been informed that no milk was being distributed in the city. O11 another occasion he was told by an official in charge of the distributions that no coal was be- ing delivered. Continuing he said hat it was “no use for Councillor Mac-Donald to ask for anythin " at the City Building as he "coul not get lt." He added that if there was not more co-operatlon shown he would "take other steps" to get things done. Coun. J. T. McKee branded the previous speaker's criticism as "utterly false". He challenged Coun. MacDonald to supply the name of the member o: the relief committee refusing the milk and the official referred to in the coal transaction. Coun. J. E. Blanchard and Coun. R. C. Chandler also asked that the names be sugplied. Coun. MacDonald answere that he did not think it was in the in- terests of the public to divui e the names. He said he would willing to give such lnfcmiation to all or any member of the relief committee. Later, however, he passed the names to Coun. McKee on a sheet of paper. Coun. McKee revealed that Coun. Lapthorn (who was absent 11'01n last night's meeting) was the member of the relief committee re. ferred to by Coun. MacDonald. Ho did not state who the official was. Received Complaints Coun. Butler agreed with the statements of Coun. MacDonald and added that he had also received complaints that orders were not be- ine divided equally. Mr. I. Y. Reddln said that he "could not conceive” of any appli- cant for relief ever being directed where to lzo to have an order filled. Ccun. F. C. Dousan demanded to know why the matter of prices had not been brought before the Coun- cil as had been promised at a cau- C115 meeting. On this occasion it was decided that the purchasing committee get prices on coal and other articles used for relief. and get the opinion of tlhe Council re- garding the same. This had not been done. he added. Coun. McKee said that Coun. Dougan was not right. as everybody had assented that relief be handled by orders. Coun. Sterns did not agree with the previous speaker. He reminded him that this procedure had been objected to and the matter was to have been brought before the Coun. c Mr. Reddln said that due to the illness of Coun. Lapthorn. cl-lairlnan of the Empovment and Relief. the committee decided to carry on as they had in the suvmer bv issuing orders instead of buying floods on a wholesale basis.

Some of the Councillors felt that it was needed only on the squares while others were of the opinion that it should also be used on the sidewalks as householders would not have the snow removed before school children were on their way to class in the morning. Coun. Dougrtn said that he would have the horse drawn plow sent out if it was desired. Says Crossings a. "Disgrace" Coun. T. A. Butler said that the street crossings were "a disgrace". He charged that the Council was "trying to run the city too cheap- ly." They should have more men working on the streets he said. Mayor Holman and Coun. Chandler complimented Coun.

Blanchard reporting for the Public Property and Market announced that the Board of made had vacated the Market Building. Thev had left a quantity of furniture in payment of rent, he added.

Stems. ohatnnm o! nu WCTE Polloe Committee, prefaolng the Ul- ual statement of Police activities: "In making this report for the Police Committee. I ml t 111-ter- oct. the romeo-k that may be 1 shall make for the lllt flphfli Police Do mt. My reason for making such a. remark I shall deal with I little later. In ondeavorlng to administer the Police Department, your Police Committee has Mind lt increasing- ly difficult as time goes on. From time to time instructions to that Department have been ignored or forgotten, and at other times your Committee found that instructions were being followed which came from sources other than the Po- lice Committee. In some cues those instructions were directly opposed to previous lnotructlozis from this Counmittee "Just a week ago. Your Worship, tlhe Police adopted a line of action regarding the night parking of cars, which resulted in no ittlo criticism from the general public. The instructional: under which the lice acted were entirely out of keeping with instructions given by this Committee, and I am inform- ed by the Ohio! of Police than: he was ‘ac on instructions from o Mayor. "Why you undertook to in with Qnmiittee, Sir, without its knowledge, I do not know. To say the least, I consider your action extremely dlscourteous, definitely unflattering to your Committee. and, I submit, without authority. "I realise these are strong words, Your Wclfiilp I the Act of Incorporation, subse- quent amendments or by-laws, it ls shown that the Mayor is vested with authority to ignore his several Com- mittees and take it upon himself to issue orders direct to any lkpart- ment. I shall be perfectly willing to retract these statements and con- duct myself accordingly. "I now beg leave u revert to my opening remarks in which I said that ‘this may be the last report I shall make foa- ‘ohe Police Depart- merit. “When I accepted the responsibil- ity last Ma-roh, as Chairman of the Police Committee, I presumed that authority to administer the Police authority to adminster ifhe Police Department. I made several at- ts to find authority for this presumption to no avail. I asked you, Your Worship, and several of the older Councillors if you, or they, could outline the Jurisdiction of this Committee, but nothing definite was ever forthcoming. “Recently, however. in searching the Acts of Incorporation. my atten- tion was drawn to Para. 129 on page 86 as amended April 22, 1938. I quote, "The Administration of the Police within the City of Charlotte- town shall be veated ln the magis- trate so appointed and he shall ha re the control and management of the Police of said City and shall pres- cribe and regulate their duties." end of quote. More Plgurehead “In the light of this it is quite evident that your Police Commitvze, or even this Oity Council. has not-h- ing whatever to do with the aci- mlnistration of the Police Force or Police Department of this City and the committee is not-hing more than a. mere figurehead. “As Chairman of a Police Com- mittee, presumably vested with the power of administration, I had been willing to assume the responsibili- ties and shoulder the inevitable crit- icisms connected with such an of- 1109. and I have given much time and thought in an endeavor to in- telllgtently administer this depart- men . "Your Committee is entirely un- willl however. to assume the re- spo titties and shoulder the criti- cisms without first havliig full con- trol of the administration of this department under supervision of this Council. “I feel that the City Magistrate, who has always been willing to 11d- vise, and whose advice has always been good and well meant. should come from behind the scenes and shoulder his responsibilities as ad- ministrator oi our Police. "Incidentally. this brings to light a situation which, I feel. should not exist any longer than it takes to remedy it, We have the adminis- trator of the Police Force sitting in judgement of individuals apprehend- ed by the Force he u administer- ing. I admit I know little or noth- ing of the ethics of law adminis- tration, but the above situation would, I feel. have a distasteful re- action on the sensibilities of the average citizen. "You will note in this connec- ion, that the Attorney-General of the Province, who administer: the policing of the Province, does not presume to sit in judgement of law offenders, but rather, acts 111 the enmity of Prosecutor. I would like it distinctly understood that this L.‘ not meant as criticism of our City Magistrate, whom I hold lii great respect, ilbut rather of our law en- foroement set-up as it appears to me. "However. to get back to my point. I submit, that. as the Committee of which I have the honor in be Chair- man, has no apparent function to perform, and has really been acting on sufiemnce of the City Magis- trate, that hereafter tlhe report for the Police should come from the administrator of that Department And also, that until the situation is clarified, I feel I must disclaim any rcmonslbility whatsoever for this department other than of one of eight councillors.
