Oil plant hazard to
new Burnaby school

BURNABY, B.C.

Headed by Mrs. Corol Cameron, a delegation appeared before

Members of the delegation asserted that in the event of ex-
plosion or fire at the eRe yy

Vancouver Police Commission, which on several occa-
sions in the past took pains to “commend” Chief Constable.
Walter H. Mulligan, fired him Monday, this week after dis-
cussing the question for only 44 minutes. _ In dismissing ‘the
man who has still to face the Tupper Commission on the

numerous accusations of graft
raised against him in the police
probe, the commission pointedly
uttered not one word of praise
for any of his past services.

Although fired from the job
he has held for eight and a half
years — during which time he
was constantly under criticism
— Mulligan will draw about $90
a month in superannuation pay.

When the police probe resumes
Mulligan will be forced to ap-
pear and give evidence. ©

Witnesses appearing before the
commission have alleged that
Mulligan took gamblers’ graft;
that he tried to get Det. Sgt. Bob
Leatherdale to arrange a payoff
with bootleggers; that he spent
money freely on Helen Douglas
and told her he had $28,000 in
cash from gamblers; that he was
