Considerable opposition from city administration and many citizens threatens defeat of a legislative measure to remove the police department from full jurisdiction of the Board of Street Commissioners. The bill would allow dismissed policemen to appeal to the Circuit Court, favored by many officers but linked to political influence. The Board is viewed as lenient, and a general shakeup in the force may follow. A move to place the police on a higher standard may be considered later by the city.
