tIme men who are engineering the Churchi-
Hus1el Ilolco commission bill have been Incubating -
cubatn ! their scheme for months lJast ( , the
bill ns It was seut 10 the governor Is about
as crulo an attempt at legislation as could
well bo hnaglnel , :0 fearful were Its 1110-
rooters that Its delicate provisions for transforming -
forming lie Omaha police , and fire departments -
ments Into Political mat'alnes might be
thrown out or equlpolo that they would not
permit n sIngle substanlal amellment to be
incorporated In the measure , hut rushed I
through both hOUS03 undcr preSJI c , to that It
came cut In exactly the same shalll In
which It was sent In ,
The bill by Its tItle purports to nme1l the
act govering citIes or the metro\oilan class
by repealing section 16 , thc section relating
to tIme composition and nPIJolntmcnt or the
Board ot Fire nll Polce CommissIoners onb' ,
amid to substitute In Its vlace the provisions
of the new bl , All other sections or the
charter are left Intac and untouched , notwithstanding -
withstanding ! the fact that many or them
arc flagrantly Incompetent ant ! n few In
actual confct with the proposed Ciuurchuhl-
Hussel plan The later seeks to exclude
hue mayor 'from melt parlclpaton In the control -
trol c lie fire anti police Ilepartments The
whole framework of the charter Is , however ,
based on the nssumllton that the mayor Is
both the nominal and actual heat of the
polce 11elIrtlmnt , and abouuds wIth refer-
ences to the ma'or's power over tue polee ,
SAMPLE COTlADCTIONS ,
For example , secten 18 says that " ( hue
mayor and counci shal ! hnve power to reQuire -
Quire all olcers or Eervants , elected or ap-
pointed In pursuance ot this act , to give
hond antI security for the faihful performance .
ance of their duties , " and section 19 empowers -
ers the ma'or and councIl "to require from
any olcer ! of [ the city at any tme a report
In detail of the trnsactons of his oaco or
any maier connected therewith "
Section 30 , relating to the Boarl ! of Healh ,
provides that the Board of Fire amid Police
Ccmmlssloners and the ( dole of police shal
co-operate with said ! board In the enrorcment
of all ordlnanccs of the cIty relating to matters -
tlrs within its jurldlclon , and as otherwise
directed by the mayor antI city counci , The
Churchl-luEsel bill , by elmlnatnf [ rom
the polce commissIon the mayor , who Is the
com men member of both boarls , takes away
the only agency by which this provision can
he executed and renders nugator the co-
operation contemplated by tie law.
More pertinent still Is section 131 , which
designates the mayor as thc ( chief executive
omcer anti conservator of the peace throughout -
out tllo city , amid gives him the power , by and
with thai ccncurrenco of the Board cf Police
Commissioners , to appoint snch number or
special ' policemen as he may deem necessary
to preserve the peace of the city , and to Ils-
miss th . same nt niensure. ' He Is alone au-
thorlzed tn"lg 'tho-comnmlsslcns ' ornpp-olnl-
'i ents ot all oacers elected and appoInted
by time city government. Section 13& pro-
110-
viles that the mayor and elef ot police shal
each ) have power to cal ! upon any citizen to
aid In the enforcement of any ordinance or
the suppression of any riot. Sections 1 6 and
18 make the chief ot police subject , only to
the orders of the mayor and thin Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners In ordinary
times , and to the mayor alone In tmo of rioter
or ( uniultuous disturbances
tumuluous
Finally , an act cf 893 , known as section
180 of the city charter , provides that In all
clUes of 25,000 or more Inhabitants "a woman -
man shall be appointed by the ma'or to the
office of polce matron , " who Ilal he a regu-
lar member of the police staff. This act relates -
hates to other cities than Omaha and Is mnn-
datory The new bill , however , also provides
for a police matron , but vests her appolnl-
fluent In the police commissIoners As It Is
also mandatory , Omaha , should It become a
law , would have two police matrons , one
appoInted by the mayor ant the cther by
the police commissioners
