At the nomination meeting, two weeks ago, Ald. Sturm charged that "police drag men in the front door and Joe Méinzinger drags them out the back".

Vernon Snider â€"Gideon Beamt service after the revival _ The motion to investigate alleged interference by Mayor Meinzinger, was put by William Schaefer, alderâ€" manic candidate and was endorsed almost unanimously. The motion requires that Schaefer, F. J. Rayâ€" ner, (seconder of the motion) and John Waiters, chairman of the meeting, interview city council Ironically, it was Mayor Meinâ€" zinger who, three years afo, instiâ€" gated a complete probe of the poâ€" lice department, resulting in disâ€" missal of the chief constable and nine other members of the departâ€" ment. . B. Relyea Mayor of Waterloo A. R. Heer Reeve of Waterloo NOW PLAYING "In this mechanized war the measure of our contribution to the fighting effectiveness of the_armies on ll:n various active ifls is \largely determined by the output of our manufactured products, not only planes, tanks, guns and other equipment and munitions of war, but also machine tools, food %I;O- ducts, electric equipment, lumber, clothing and ships: in short, the integrated output of a modern, wellâ€"equipped and industrious people eager to play a worthy part {in this titanic struggle." ’ t Following the presentation of the| Commission‘s current sound movie, ‘"Wardens of Power", Dr. Hogg deâ€" clared, "besides showing you how to save power I think this film in the attractive settings of a modern Ontario home suggests something of the environment we desire for all our citizens. It is an outward manifestation of a ‘way of life‘ worth fighting for. ‘When the tuâ€" mult and the shouting dies‘, when our fighting men return, we must make sure they come back to a Canada worth living in, where the good things of this life and not merely the material things, are available to all.

At present, he said, waterâ€"power installation in Canada totalled 9,000,000 horsepower; he warned against any complacency which might be created by this splendid progress, ‘ ’ "It ‘was only when provincial authorities insisted on knowing deâ€" tails of this case, that the local crown prosecutor secured these deâ€" tails for the provincial attorney," Ald. Sturm stated, "There are many other cases of where Mayor Meinzinger has interfered with the police department, but why labor the point. The evidence in this single point is sufficient to condemn the mayor." | _ ‘"This," he went on, "was posiâ€" tively not within the jurisdiction of the mayor. The police chief knows this was a breach of the law, but yet there was no entry made on police records of this affair. â€" "A vigilant police officer interâ€" cepted empty cartons being reâ€" moved from this hall and took the cases to the police office," Ald. Sturm related, "but Mr. Keller said he had been given permission by Mayor Meinzinger. 8 Ald. Sturm charged further that the chief magistrate gave a "Mr. Keller" permission to have "intoxiâ€" cating drinks" at a mecting in a downtown public hall. _ "The same man was recently arrested for stealing gasoline and he is now in jail for stealing a car," Sturm asserted. "That‘s the kind of men Mayor Meinzinger travels with." Continuing, Ald. Sturm alleged that Mayor Meinzinger, despite the fact he had a railway ticket, acâ€" cepted a ride home by motor car with a man who claimed he was from Kitchener. The _ alderman _ charged _ that Mayor Meinzinger charged the city $24 for a room in Ottawa, but that he "put up" at a $4 a week frame building while in the capital _ _ Ald. Sturm vigorously criticized an expense account tendered city eouncil by Mayor Meinzinger, after Mayor Meinzinger made a trip to Ottawa. "He puts on the bills $22 for meals," the alderman declared, "but I know that when Meinzinger is out on a tear, he doesn‘t eat." "No man in Kitchener abuses drink more than does Mayor Meinâ€" zinger and yet he fires men off the police force for drinking," declared ’Sturm. "When I was in the second ;Iargest city in Ontario the other day, an official said to me: "What are you going to do for a mayor next year? Surely Kitchener is not going to elect a dâ€"n lunatic like‘ Meinzinger again‘" the alderman : stated. ‘ "it was the fullâ€"time job of a memâ€" ber of the Legion of Frontiersmen to keep Mayor Mcinzinger locked in a room as he wasn‘t presentable". ’ "The alderman in (}uestion reâ€" plied that ‘the dâ€"d ‘fool (Meinâ€" zinger) was drunk and didn‘t know ‘whal he was doing‘," continued Sturm. "and yet Menzinger is the man who has a policeman fired beâ€" cause he is intoxicated off duty." Ald. Sturm charged further that when the Dominion Association of Fire Chiefs convened in Kitchener "I was attending the funeral of my brother at Detroit that day, and was unable to be present at the meetinf," related Ald. Sturm. "But \the fol owlnfi meeting, I said to the alderman who sits next to me and who is a close personal friend of Mavor Meinzinger, ‘I hear you had som: trouble with the mayor last week‘. \‘ehiriedm!or Meinzinger with beâ€" ing "drunk" at the October 19th meeting of city council. _ w i’urgmg them to "request provincial authorities to promptly investigate the alleged interference in the duties of the police department by Mayor Meinzinger". "kfllher than wait for the next ‘meeunf\ of city council, 1 will m in touch with provincial authorit and have this investigation made immediately," declared the chief magistrate.
