Description
RONAN, Justice. This is a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the mayor and chief of police of Newton to reinstate the
petitioner as sergeant-mechanic in the police department of that city. The petitioner had held this position (which is classified
under the civil service rules) from shortly after it was created by ordinance in 1929 until July 1, 1939, when as a result
of an amendment to this ordinance eliminating among the positions in the police department 'one sergeant-mechanic,' effective
on May 1, 1939, the petitioner was notified by the chief of police that he was no longer a member of the department. The single
Justice found the facts as stated in the auditor's report and, subject to the exceptions of the petitioner, dismissed the
petition but not as a matter of discretion. The petitioner contends that the board of aldermen was not acting in good faith in passing the ordinance which purported
to abolish the petitioner's office in the police department, and that the office could not be abolished without notice to
the petitioner and a hearing being granted him.
