Successor 1
Police Director Earle
Charles has said he will
make no immediate recom
mendation for the appoint
ment of an officer to suc
ceed the late William A.
Turner, Assistant Director.
Because a large amount of
the present appropriation
will have to be used to pay
Mr. Turner’s accumulated
leave, there will not be
sufficient funds on hand to
name a successor before
July 1, he reveaied. He
said heisalso giving
thought to reorganizing
the functions of the de
partment to promote
greater efficiency.
It is expected that Lieut.

named to succeed Turner,
and thatother officers will
be piomoted as a result of
the vacancy.
