SUPT. McILVENEY APPOINTED
(Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Dec. 1.
Commissioner A. H. Wright retires from the Police Force at the end of January, and, to-day the Government appointed Superintendent AV. B. McIlveney of the Wellington district to be Commissioner in his stead. The Minister of Justice in making this announcement said that Superintendent Mcllveney was a senior officer of great ability and long experience, who no doubt would fill the higher position with every credit to himself and satisfaction to the Department.
Personally he (the Minister') regretted the retirement of Commissioner Wright, who was a sound and solid officer, with whom lie was pleased to have been associated for the past two or three years. Mr. Wright’s principal characteristic was his invariable sound judgment and his fair dealing with all ranks. The Government had reposed considerable confidence in him, and had. always found that confidence to have been justified.
