South Act Irks Board over Police Officer Dismissal
Fire and Police Commissioner Raymond South fired injured motorcycle officer L W Leach, drawing criticism from Civil Service Board chairman C E Smeltz who said the board is a figurehead. Leach, injured in the line of duty, sought a hearing on dismissal effective December 1. The board limited itself to granting an appeal. South holds hire and fire power. Leach contends he is physically able to work, while South argues disability prevented full duties. Leach was initially reinstated after a payroll cut, then notified of permanent dismissal on December 1.
