R. Williams that the action would be illegal, Dunn’s efty council last night delayed—at least tem porarily—plans to fire Police Chief George Arthur Jack son. In a surprise move, Former May or Earl McD. Westbrook, who is one of this section's biggest business men, appeared before the board, and, in vigorous speech, defended Chief Jackson, reminded the com missioners they had no authority to fire him, and told them that to replace him or have the city manager replace him would be ‘do ing the wrong thing.” Mr. Westbrook, who served sev eral terms on the board and .two terms as Mayor, minced no words in his remarks to the board.
