Mayor By State Leg-

Four regular policemen were ap-
pointed to the Police Department
this morning by Mayor Thomas Rob-
ins.
The men appointed are: Paul Me.
Grath, Henry C. Webb. Conrad J.
Miller and James E; Eldridge.
All of the four named were among
those appointed to supernumcrory
Police Department about a year ago.
McGrath, Webb and Eldridge have
been doing regular duty as super.
numaries for the past six months.
Miller is employed at the present
time as a motorman by the Con-
necticut Company.
The names of the men were turn-
ed over to City Clerk Irving Robert-
son this morning. were placed on the
payroll and will start work at once.
The appointment of these men by
the Mayor clears up'a situation that
has been hanging iii-e, since the ap-
propriation of money for four offi-
cers became available last Septem-
her.
At that time the Mayor would not
approve of the recommendations of
Police Committeeman Robert M
Wolfe. and the Council would not
approve of the recommendations of
the Mayor.
A bill was later passed by the
Legislature giving the Mayor power
to appoint police without the appro-
val of the Council. It is under this
amendment to the City Charter that
Mayor Robins made his appoint-
ments this morning.
