the city council in iri rejecting the recommendation of your police commission relative to the removal of mr L W tackett has had the unavoidable effect of militating a against the discipline of the police department par part ment and has placed myself as the elected head of that department in a light of humiliation before the public mr tackett made certain grave charges which it if they had been sustained would have been a dl disgrace e grace to the city government and a d dishonor to me as an official those charges were disproved and by mr air tacketts Tac ketts own testimony before the police commission were shown to be without any real foundation why then should be be rewarded and sustained and I 1 be ignored and humiliated gentlemen I 1 maintain that mr tackett was guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer of this city to uphold him would be an encouragement to insubordination and an admission that paid servants of this municipality may attack the fair repute of this city
