Meeting When the commission held a second meeting on Monday morn- ing of this week, it accepted -the resignations of three constables.• In addition to the resignations of Constables 'Horan and , McIntyre, the board received Constable Lucien - Theriault's resignation, which had not been requested. Constable Horan, in his letter of resignation, asked for a chance to attend a meeting of the commis- sion to comment on. • "the conduct and -negligence of. the three re- maining members",of the Goderich Pollee 'Department. His request was granted at Mon- day's meeting. Present when he spoke were Police Chief Hall, Con- stable McIntyre and the members of the .commission. Beginning,- Constable Horan stet- ed:'"We're all involved a shade in different things we sho•uldn't be." He saia, "I know thee have been complaints about a certain boot- legger in town and no action has been taken.” ' • Constable Horan claimed there had, been two telephone cells to the police about this person. The officer said he himself „had been. approached personally with' a cern: plaint, He. said he didn't know why no action had been taken; he would Tike to knew the answer to that- himself. hawhimself. One of the telephoned com- plaints was received about June 3, Constable Horan thought, while the other came in "about a week. ago Monday." One of the complaints was not registered in the police record book, he said. Woman Complained Constable Horan then told of a complaint about drinking in the Council Chambers at the Town Halla A lady had complained of ,this.e.to:_„Constables,, ..Sant-h.—an+d WRESTLIN • GODERICH ARENA S ' T.; AUG. 2 — 8.45 P.M. — TV MIDGETS — 4 (TAG - TEAM MATCH) DON'T MISS THESE LITTLE MEN iN ACTION • ,SPECIAL ATTRACTION • 550 LB.....WRESTLING SEAR.

Constable Horan did not mention any names, but he said that three men—one member of the police department and two other citizens —had been playing cards and drinking -in. -the Council. Chambers Because of this, said Constable Horan, a cleaning lady was unable to carry out her work: One 'man made a remark' which the woman found distasteful, . said the officer. Mayor Ernie C. Fisher, chairman •of the Police Commission, com- mentett;that a lady had complained to him 'Indirectly” about such an incident. ' Surveying the situation, Magis- trate ,D. E. Holmes felt that "in- consistent discipline" might be a, key 'factor in' the present tremble in the police' force. And Police,. -Chief F. M. hall was not altogether to blame, he said. . . The magistrate felt that, before' control of the force passed ,from Town Council' to the new Police Commission, there were times when the chief might have been kept guessing as to whom he should takehis direction from. ro ' New Setup Now that the commission has been set up, • removing the force from possible political interfer- ence, the magistrate felt that the chief should be in a position to, operate the department in a satis- faetorymanner. Judgc''Frank Fingland observed: "There's a great moral responsibil- ity en these men who put .on the , uniform." Police officers, both on duty and off ,duty, sh.ntid set a good 'example for the rest of ,the comMu pity, he pointed out. The Monday morning .meeting was adjourned, It resumed at 1.30 p.m. In the afternoon session, the ' commission decided it was advis- able to increase the starting salary for constables by $200 a year. The minimum salary, which was $3,000, was increased •to $3,200. The maxi. 'mum salary'for constables remains unchanged at„ $3,800. de. pt ,ta, cellon.' ,eJligher startingsalary to new men, the commission noted that the starting salary for Ontario Provincial Police is $3,240. Magistrate Holmes reported that 'the OPP has a police training school in Toronto and would .be willing to accept town constables should the local commission decide. to send new men down there for training courses of six to eight .weeks. Judge Fingland was very much in favor of the idea of• send-, ing local constables to the police school. Bridging The Gap Commission• members felt that the OPP would be willing to loan men to bridge the gap in the event that the 'town force is short-handed between the time the three con- stables depart and new men start. ' Last act of the commission at the Monday meeting was ' to arrange for a further meeting Wednesday morning. Constable South was,re- quested to attend this meeting. In 195'7, five tonetables resigned from the force in less than seven months. In May of this year, Constable Horan was suspended from the force for a few days for a breach of regulations:. He !oat three days' pay and six of his regular days off as a result. He was suspended after he walk- ed off duty follkwing a disagree- ment arose partly out of the fab that Constable Horan reported IM for duty one Sunday after he had attended a house party while off duty. Shortly before this, Constable Horatesuhmitted to -the commission a list of grievances against the ad- ministration of the police -depart:, ment. After looking over this Its of complaints, the commissio - members appeared to feel that th ' points were mostly of a minot nature, 't yU Y N°' t ,•r THURSDAY, Y, jvi Silt, Mrs. W..
