Letters to the editor Since taking over the job as chief. Harold Basse has already taken some positive steps. such as re- evaluating and publicizing the police force's media policy. Though he hasn't yet proven himself over the long term. all indications are that Basso is a good chief who will do the battered police force justice. And surely Harold Basso deserves better than to be told by the none-too-bright police commission that he was made chief prematurely. and must step down in favor of the illustrious warrior Brown. te- cently returned from his victorious crusade in court. address correspondence to Waterloo ottice: w 92 King St, South.

Now that the fact has been agreed upon by a court and the public, surely Mr. Brown can live in peace and let our community and police force do the same? Why then. must Mr. Brown and his Iawyet conti- nue to force this issue. Surely the average police officer is sick and tired of hearing and debating the Brown question. and would like to return to a sta- ble situation. So what happens now? Will the police commis- sion re-open the hearing into the Brown case? Will we be subjected to weeks of political defen- siveness on the part of police commission members who originally fired the chief? Wouidoh it be much easier. Mr. Brown, to take a generous settlement from the police commission and a public admission as to that body's mistake. and say goodbye? Do you really want to be police chief badly 'm- ough to draw out this fiasco any longer? Will we - the people of Waterloo Region --- never hear the last of Syd Brown?
