Police commissioner Adolph
Win dm aiser submitted a two-
page letter of complaints against
police chief Harold Hight at a
special city council m eeting on
August 2, in an attem pt to get
him relieved of his duties.
Mayor Lloyd Bates and aider-
men Herb Thsge,Frank St.Clair,
Orris Smith and Blaine Marsh
a n d recorder Loraine Haines
heard the charges at the 7:30
p, m. meeting.
Charges included parking the
police caron the left side of the
street, wearing uniform collar
unbuttoned and not wearing a
tie, leaving motor running in an
unattended auto, cursing on a
public street, that the police car
was at the drag races.Windmais­
er went into detail about how
the chief "cursed" him on a
public street on July 23.
After a lengthy discussion,
Windmaiser attem pted to get
the chief fired by motion but
he failed to get a second to the
motion to bring it to a vote.
St. Clair asked if Windmaiser
would switch commissions with
h im ; police for license; but
Windmaiser refused the sugges­
tion. The commissions are ap­
pointed soley by the mayor and
do not need council approval.
The mayor asked Windmaiser
if he would accept an apology
by Hight. He said he would have
within 15 minutes after the in­
cident but that It was too late
now.
Then Windmaiser said that if
the council refused to take ac­
tion perhaps he would bring it
before the people and publicize
such actions. 'The mayor asked
him not to do that, saying that
that kind of publicity cOuld do
no one any good.
A tthispoint, Windmaiser said,
"if there is going to be no ac­
tion, I move that the m eeting
adjourn, ’’ then departed in an
apparent angry mood though he
was urged to stay by Smith.
