BLOCKS ELECTION
OF POLICE CHIEF
HOLDING OF ELECTION TEMPO
RARILY RESTRAINED BY
ORDER OF COURT
STATE NEWSJF INTEREST
Brief New* Items Gathered Hera
And There From All Section*
Of The State
Atlanta. —That the police committee
of city council, temporarily restrained
recently from proceeding with the
election of a permanent chief of police
by Judge G. H. Howard on petition
of anum ber of members of city coun
cil, will not submit to an interference
with its authority without a legal
fight, was made clear by Chairman
Edward H. Inman, who announced he
had retained Attorney Arminius
Wright to appear for the committee
at the hearing on the injunction.
The petition asking the court to re
strain the committee from electing a
chief at its meeting was presented to
Judge Howard by thirteen members
of council through Attorneys Joe
Wood, Ben H. Sullivan, Holmes Joy
ner and J. V. Poole. The council
members signing the petition were:
Alderman J. L. Carpenter, Councilman
W. M. Etheridge, Councilman Harry
York, Councilman J. A. White, Coun
cilman T. C. Aven, Alderman Foster
L. Hunter, Councilman W. C. Jen
kins, Councilman Frank Callaway,
Councilman J. Allen Couch, Council
man Leo Sudderth, Councilman S. A.
Wardlaw and Councilman R. S. Pen
nington.
The petition sets forth, In sub
stance, that council Indicated by Its
vote that it desires to elect a chief
of police itself and that inasmuch as
the police committee is a creature of
the general council and subordinate
to the larger body it should not be
allowed to proceed with the election
until council has acted finally.
Attorney Wright said he had not
yet had time to fully complete his
answer, but that it would be on the
grounds that the committee is vested
with the authority to elect a chief
and cannot be stopped until council
has taken that authority away from
it. He said that since no ordinance
has been enacted into a law taking
this power away from the committee,
it has full legal authority to proceed
with an election of a permanent chief
if it so desires.
The attorney declared he would
most strenuously fight any attempt
to have the hearing of the temporary
injunction delayed. He said it was
his opinion that the injunction had
no legal grounds on which to stand,
and that its entire purpose was to at
tempt to delay the committee from
acting until council could finally pass
upon the matter.
“There will undoubtedly be a move
to have the hearing postponed,” said
Attorney Wright, “and in this man
ner prevent the committee from pro
ceeding.
