, "Ald. Meinzinger, after blasting to the four corners of the earth that Kitchener‘s police force were ‘corâ€" rupt, crooked, and a body of paraâ€" sites‘, and even after lambasting the commission because they did not meet earlier to hear his alleged charges, came before the commission with the admission he had nothing to say," Mayor Gordon told The Chronicle. "Apparently the newsâ€" paper publicity was all he was after!" This was the answer given: by Mayor George W. Gordon, today, following an attack on him in a preâ€" pared statement yesterday by Ald. Jos. Meinzinger. The alderman, in yesterday‘s statement, indicated he would ask the mayor to request the resignation of Chief Constable Wilâ€" liam Hodgson. "I am not attempting to answer Ald.. Meinzinger, because thus far, anything he has had in the newsâ€" paper is not worth answering, but it does seem a shame that when the Mayor and nine members of the city council earnestly strive to keep up the good name of our city, that one member can blast our good inâ€" tentions with most unfavourable and unwarranted publicity," continued the mayor. _ ‘"‘The majority of people know Ald. Meinzinger by now, and are fully aware, I believe, of his high political aspirations. It is my belief they have come to the conclusion that this is all ‘politics‘ rather than an endeavour to clean up anything he thinks not right. 0 "As far as I personally am conâ€" cerned, if the citizens of Kitchener wish to make him mayor, for which office I think he is striving, that is up to them, but I have been reâ€" quested to be chief magistrate durâ€" ing the current year, and that I will continue to be," declared Mayor Gordon, ‘"During my private business career, I have carried on with a code of ethics perhaps over the head of Ald.
