THE POLICE COMMISSION.
NAPIER SITTINGS. THE POLICE COMMISSION SAT HERE TO-DAY.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, last Night. Detective Hill said that when he ca.nc to Napier there were a lot of "special men" here, hut they had now been weeded out. The district had been i.i a bad way, but certain changes were made and thing 6 were very much better now.
Inspector Dwyer said he did not think the rate of pay was sufficient to induce good men to join the force. Men joining, the force should be subject to the approval of the inspector of the district. He thought for the sake of ha~mony it would be better to make dis"trict clerks a special allowance and not promote them to sergeantships' over other men. The channels of promotion should be open to detectives. All promotions should be made on the recommendations of inspectors in order of superiority. He knew of no general dissatisfaction regarding control in the force and knew nothing of political influence.
The hearing of evidence was concluded, and the Commission adjourned,
