Memo for the Director. ~21- 5-12-36. Councilwan Thomas J.Gunning, who voted with the Demo~ crats in support of the Art amendment to the anproprie~ tion ordinance, had lost their patronage two days after they had voted. ‘When I went to the mayor,' he said: ‘You've got to expect that if you don't go along with the administration, McCafferty saide The mayor admitted last uight that supporters of both men had been dropped, but said that the droppin: was a ‘mistaken oolicy' und that most employes had been restored to the pay rolls, except for several found unfit for jovs." The Cleveland newspapers have given considerable publicity to the recent investigation involving Captain Louis J. Cadek, "the cop who made $109,000". The Cleveland Plain Dealer dated April 14, 1936 is quoted as follows: 4 "The records tell briBquely of 28 transfers in 30 years; of one suspension and an acquittal; of another suspension, dismissal and reinstatement, but nothing of how a cop could make $109,000." The same paper shows that over a period of thirty years service the total sslary received by Officer Cadek was $67,966 bit that investi- gation disclosed that he had $109,000 on deposit. Cadek has been relieved of duty and has been indicted. According to the Clevelend Plain Dealer of April 14, 19363 "Nine witnesses--all admitted former bootlegcers, accord~ ing to the county prosecutor's office--were called before the county grand jury yesterday in an investivation of the $109,000 in savings accumulated by Police Captain Louis J. Cadek on a total salary of $67,966 received from the city since his appointment as a patrolman nearly 30 years ago. One witness said he had testified before the grand jury that he had paid Cadek $2,000 in several vayments. Other witnesses said they had told the grand jurors they had paid various auounts to collectors who were understeod to be gathering the money for the solice." Boo Respectfully, — cs K. R. McIntire.
