Mayor Gaynor Praises Police Amid Reform Claims
Mayor Gaynor issues a statement praising the police force and claiming grafting ended in the city. He cites Governor Sulzer’s veto of a civilian Deputy Police Commissioners bill and asserts reforms over three and a half years reduced arbitrary arrests by more than 100,000 annually, with several inspectors replaced by new officials. He says few corrupt cases remain and pledges ongoing cleanup with limited political interference.
