TWO TRUSTEES MAKE PROTEST TO POLICE BILL Write Governor Miller in Oppo- sition to Having Measure Become a Law. DECLARE INTENT IS TO AFFECT FREEPORT ONLY Offlear Affected Expacta Powar of Ra- moval Will Not Ba Taken Advan- tage of if Bill la Signed. Considerable comment bus been heard during the past week of the bill amending the |uw affecting or- ganized police departments In Nassau county, as described In the Freeport News last week. In police department circles the comment has been strong- ly In opposition to the bill as it stands. Village Trustees Howard Pearsall and Itaymond Miller have sent telegrams to Governor Miller declaring them- selves opposed to the bill. No word has been received from Albany con- cerning the bill. Trustees Pearsall and Miller declar- ed In their telegrams that the bill seems to have been drafted so as to apply particularly to Kreeport, and that there were many bad points about the bill concerning which they promised to go Into details In a let- ter following their telegrams. The part of the bill to which the two trustees particularly object Is that it takes out of the hands of ihe vil- lage board the power to remove or ap- point the police department officers and puts that poWer In the hands t.t the president, although they also ob- ject to oilier phases of It. In police department circles the ob- jections are directed at the iK>wer of removal being recalled nnder any cir- cumstances, the declaration being made that the previous administra- tion placed the whole department, In- cluding the chief, on an organized ba- sis, and It should be continued in that way, regardless of any changes In the village administration.
