Assn. to Offer New Bill
For Job Loss Insurance

Special to The LEADER

ALBANY, Jan, 6—The Associa-
tion of Civil Service Employees
has long been convinced that
coverage under the unemployment
insurance law should be extended
to State employees. A bill to ac-
complish this purpose was intro-
duced at the request of the Asso-
ciation last year and it will again
be introduced at the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature.

The principal obstacle to ex-
tending coverage to State employ-
ees arises from the fact that the
premium paid by the State, if it
were to be paid at the same rate
paid by private employers, would
cost a prohibitive amount. The

FOUR PROMOTION EXAMS

Association has, therefore, worked
out a plan which will obviate this
objection and provide for unem-
ployment insurance coverage on a
cost-plus basis similar to the
manner in which workmen's com-
ensation coverage ls now admin-
istered for State employees.

Loss of Job

It is recognized that employ-
ment by the State is compara-
tively stable. The number of em-
ployees who would be entitied to
unemployment insurance benefits
is greatly less than in private in-

dustry. On the other hand, the| time extended unemployment in-
employee who is dismissed trom) surance coverage to State employ-

the State service has the sume
need for unemployment insurance

benefits as the employee who
Joses his job in private mdustry.

‘Under the bill sponsored b; the
Association, State employees who
lose their positions would be en-
titled to unemployment insurace
benefits in the same amounts and
under the same circumstances as
employees in private industry.
The State, however, would not
pay a premium based upon the
total State payroll, but would pay
only the actual benefits awarded.
This plan is expected to bring
the cost of coverage down tc a
reasonable figure and at the same

ees who are morally and equitably
entitled to this protection,

In-Service Training
Gaining in States

States are becoming increasing-
ly aware of the need for in-serv-
ice training for public employees,
according to the Civil Service As-
sembly. All types of public serv-
ants.are being trained by such
agencies as the Pennsylvania Pub-
lic Service Institute and the North |
Carolina Institute of Government. |
In Kentucky, a week of compre- |
hensive in-service training was|
conducted for city and county as-
sessors and a similar program is in
process in New Jersey.

Oklahoma has also conducted
an assessors’ training course. In
New York State, the Education
Department, other State depart-
ments and the Conference of
Mayors have long recognized the
need for in-service training
courses, Courses for administra-
tors, public health workers, fire-
men and policemen are only a few
of those scheduled on a regular
basis.

Roster Records Found

Deficient In

Survey

Of Local Commissions

The basic legal requirement for
establishing and maintaing a ros-
ter record system is found in Sec-
tion 19 of the Civil Service Law.
This section is further imple-
mented for most commissions, by
a rule titled “Official Roster,” This
section of law and the rule com-
bine to make the following ele-
ments mandatory for a roster rec-
ord:

1, Name of employee.

2. Title of position,

3. Date of commencement of
service,

4, Salary of the position.

5. Date and nature of any sub-
sequent change of status as @ re-
sult of promotion, transfer, resig-

nation, dismissal, reinstatement,
ete.

Other Necessary Elements

There are other elements which
can be recorded on a roster record
to good advantage, although not
legally required. Such information
as the employee's home address,
phone number and location of em-
ployment are useful. ‘There is also
the possibility of recording sick
leave and vacation on the record.

Aside from the legal require-
ments for keeping accurate roster
records, the necessities of day-to-
day personnel administration are
equally compelling, says the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Bulletin of
the Information and Training
Service. First of all, payrolls
could not be certified without ros-
ter records. Secondly, a roster rec-
ord system is indispensible when
determining seniority rights for
the purpose of promotion or lay-
off. The roster record is also the
logical place to enter service rec-
ord ratings. Without further be-
laboring the needs for roster rec-
ords, let us turn to the deficiencies
which have been noted in recent
inspections.

Omissions Noted

In spite of the recognized need
for current and complete roster
records, the principal deficiency
noted involved just these points.
In several local commissions in
N. ¥. State records lacked en-
tries indicating the* authority for
personnel changes or appoint-
ments. For example, some records
on employees covered-in under the
provisions of the Fite Law made
no reference to the commission
resolution which actually effected
the cover-in. Dates of commission
action on transfers, changes in
classification, etc., have been omit-
ted. Reference to eligible lists
from which appointments were
made have been lacking, Dates of
action have not appeared. Exempt
class appointments have been re-
corded without reference to the
“Report of Personnel Change” on
which the Commission was noti-
fied of such appointment. Obvi-
ously, the omission of data of this
type decreases the value of roster
records considerably. Commis-
sions, in general will be better
prepared for inspection if com~-
plete information as to authority
for appointments, is recorded.

The law and rules require a ros~
ter record on all positions in thé
classified servi This, of course,
does not permit a commission to
omit part-time positions as some
have done. All positions in the
exempt, non-competitive and coms
petitive classes, and in cities labor
class should appear on the roster,

Other Non-Standard Practices

Other practices which were
noted and which do not conform
to accepted standards include:

1, Title change not listed.

2. Effective date of appointment
not indicated.

3. Employee status not shown,

4. Dates of military leave not
indicated.

5. Cards of separatees and in-
cumbents co-mingled.

6. Jurisdictional classific tion
not shown,

7. Present salary not recorded.

Inspection of a few commis:‘ons
has revealed the use of non-stand~
ard titles, or in other words, titles
not included in the commission's
clasification plan or rules. In sume
cases, errors of this type may be
serious because the vast majority
of civil rules provides that posi<
tions not listed as being in the
exempt, non-competitive or tabor
| classes shall be In the compett=
tive class. Thus, the use of @
title which is not listed with the
thought that it is in other than
the competitive clas results in an
illegal appointment.

Contradictions, Too

'
aa

There have also been instances
in which a commission use¢ jure
isdictional classifications which
did not agree with those liste¢ in
the rules. Obviously, such errors
must be avoided inasmuch as the
procedures for filling a non-cam=
petitive class position are consid~
erably different from those re
quired when filling an exempt
class position.

In counties, and in cities which
have recently been classified, the
| documents actually effecting title
jchanges are the cover-in reselus
| tions. These titles must, of cvi.rse,

agree with the titles established
by the clasification plan, How-
jever, where there is a lack of
| agreement, the titles used in the
| cover-in resolution are binding,
Thus the titles appearing on ros«
ter records must be those used on
cover-in resolutions. A few errors
@ nthis point have resulted in
Senior Account Clerks being car-
ried as Senior Clerks and Typists
being carried as Stenogra»hers,
The danger in such situations
comes with reference to prometion
examinations

ing a promotion examination while
the second could result in an ime
mediate loss in salary,

Center, which made the foregoing
report, is conducted by the State

‘GAVIL. SERVICE LEADER

. STATE NEWS

Special to The LEADER

ALBANY, Jan. 6—In his mes-
sage to the State Legislature, Gov-
ernor Dewey will recommend, as
he promised, that the emergency
War compensation, or bonus, be
made permanent, with few excep-
tions, and in addition will recom-
mend the enactment of a law to
include all permanent State em-
Ployees under unemployment in-
surance benefits, At present no

State employees are included un-
der unemployment insurance.

This news was obtained by The
LEADER in advance of the deli
ery of the message to the Legis-
lature,

‘The Governor has been apprised
by the general contents of the
report of the State Salary Board,
He has been told that State s
aries are proportionate to pay in
private industries, and he consid-

ers pension rights and Job security |
added attractions. However, some
pay is below standard, and to raise
this to standard would cost $2,-
600,000 a year. The Board is be~
leved to recommend that this be
done.

‘The Governor may ask overtime
pay for institutional employees.
This would be equal to a 20 per

newed that this will be fulfiled,

‘The report, as it went to press,
consisted of much more material
than was expected when the sal-
ary survey was started at the in-
stance of Governor Dewey. The
report consists of 316 pages, de-
scribing 212 titles. Data are com-
plete on comparison of State pay
with salaries in other public jur-
isdictions and in private industry.
Also, the jobs are described as to
duties.

212 Titles Covered

‘The number of employees in the
212 titles is about 40,000, repre-
senting 80 per cent of all State
Positions. About 1,600 titles ac-
count for the other 20 per cent, or
10,000 positions. A study of these
will be made later, and a report
rendered, or the Legislature may
definitize the Board's power to in-
corporate amendments without re-
sort to the Legislature.

The report deals with proposed
basic pay, since it is foregone that
the war emergency compensation
will be consolidated into basic pay.
‘Thus a new structure is proposed

AUDA NS NR AE

WHAT EVERY STATE EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW

AS REE. EE

If you observe the annual cus-
tom of making New Year's 1eso-
lutions, you might, as a State
emploee, give some consideration
to the matter of increasing your
service record ratings. You might
resolve to demonstrate a marked
improvement in the several fac-
tors that make up such rating,
In order to make and keep such
a worthy resolution you should
know what such factors are For
that reason they are set forth be-
low. Each factor is followed by
its interpretation as supplied by
the Research and Performance
unit of the State Department of
Civil Service for the year 1946-47.

For Supervisors and Others

I you occupy a supervisory po-
sition you are rated on all sixteen
of the items listed, Otherwise you
are rated on the first twelve cnly.
‘The items are;

1, Comprehension—Mental al-
ertness; ability to grasp facts
quickly and to retain important
elements of a given proble! not
to be confused with “knowlege”
because an employee may be very
well informed through education
or experience and yet nol be an
exceptionally rapid thinker.

%. Knowledge of Job—For both
clerical and professional em'oy-
ees, mastery of details of the par-
ticular job; amount of interest
and understanding as to how the
job fits in with the unit or de-
Partment as a whole; knowlcdge
© office procedure,

3%, Accuracy—The frequency of

ly careless errors; necessity
for checking work for accwecy,
Not to be canfused with “kaowl-
elge” or “comprehension” because
an employee may be very quick
in grasping things, and have a
good knowledge of the work, but
be careless.

4. Method—The orderliness with
which an employee tackles a prob-
lem; planning and performing
tasks according to their impor

ance; the degree to which em-
wee may be said to be “me-
odical"; may involve neatness
of work habits.
& Energy and luduetiry —"Get

—or at least numerous increase—
in the Feld-Hamilton schedules,
Arrangement of Report

‘The report has an introductory
abstract of six pages, summarizing
all the remainder of the docu-
ment; then come about 30 pages
of detailed analysis, then the ap-
pendix and the supporting back-
ground data, consisting of 200
pages of statistics.

The supporting tabulations are |
imade applicable to the present
State salary structure, and recom-
mendations made for the new
basic salary levels.

The report was arranged that
way for the deliberate purpose of
Jenabling readers to get either a
pithy abstract, if they so prefer,
or detailed analysis, or these plus
the supporting schedules.

The duty statements are in-
cluded only for explanatory pur-
‘po: The Board's own duty was
to recommended salaries,

PEACE AND PLENTY

A REAL and lasting peace is the nation’s major objective in

international affairs. Real and lasting industrial peace between
management and labor is equally important. On peace and good-
will depends our prosperity, our economic power and perhaps the
survival of our own economy, The question of strikes is merely "the
negative side of the positive problem of establishing lasting Internal
peace.

We can make real and more enduring progress if we talk in
positive terms and set ourselves to solve the crucial question of
creating new peace mechanisms in labor-management relations and
in international affairs,

In international relations, progress is made whenever the com-
mon world interest is placed above any and all national interests,
The finding of the larger common interest is not easy but the
method is clear, How can the essential conditions of peace and
the common welfare be applied and the narrow special intetests
be sublimated into a broad common interest?

Harmonizing Various Groups

In all labor disputes not two, but three or four major parties
are concerned, In addition to labor and management, there is the
consumer, who has no voice or vote, but whose interest is superior
and who is the chief victim. Then Government must have an im-
portant role, both as the agent of the consumer and as responsible
for justice and order in the community,

“ Can the interests of all these groups be harmonized and real-
ized? The answer is yes.

Labor wants chiefly high wages and fair employment practices,
Management wants good profits and highly efficient production.

The consumer wants good products at fair prices, Government
wants industrial peace, prosperity and a fair deal all around,

There is no irrepressible conflict between these objectives. All
parties can win these ends, but only on condition of striving for
the common good through maximum production as they did during
the war years.

A real and lasting peace in Government is now threatened by
strikes and threats of strikes from teacher and from public em-
ployee trade unions, also strikes against cities and counties.

Why Big Strike Is Probable

While the Association is unalterably opposed to strikes against
the government it recognizes that a big strike against the State or
the National Government is probable unless intelligent efforts by
all parties are directed to find justice, to correct abuses, to pay fair
salaries, to promote morale and to harmonize personnel administra~
tion, so that service to the people may be always the paramount
motive, in the activities of every public employee,

It is easy to find a solution for the many problems of personal
relations and for the many grievances if both parties will look beyond
their immediate selves and their fancied prerogatives to a common
purpose and a common trust,

Popular ignorance about Government is so dense and widespread,
that even professors of political science spread more misinformation

The primary function of government is to introduce and to
maintain order and justice in all the affairs of the people, There is
no liberty outside of lay. Freedom under law is the only freedom
that can long endure,

The Supreme Purposes

Through legislation, Government provides the rules that enable
people to live together in peace. Through the courts, Government
prevents private war between persons and interests, Through its
administrative officers, Government enforces the essential rules of
order and justice under which we live and promotes the common
welfare, I think we make no mistake if we take justice and welfare
as the supreme purposes for which Government was instituted and
for which it is continually broadened and strengthened as human
affairs become more complex and tangled.

The State employees, in all their requests, seek justice, They
want no more than is their due. They will not be content with less
than justice, They have the important job of helping to make justice
prevail in the world, and they see no reason why it should not
dominate all the internal relationships of government.

The function of Government in relation to the building of peace
everywhere is clear, Lasting peace can be established only on a firm
foundation of justice. As the main guardian of Justice, Government
must seek peace and pursue it wherever peace is threatened. Justice
is not lame adn halt—it is a lusty and active force in human affairs.

ALBANY, Jan. 6.—The Public

evoked a warning from President
J, Edward Conway that the Public

Salary Basis Rejected

‘The Health Insurance Board of
NYC, which is guiding the par-
ticipation of the City government
and its employees in the Health
Insurance Plan, decided in favor
of the 50-50 method of premium
payment. Whatever each em-
ployee must pay as an individual,
the City will match, and salary
is no factor, except that all get-
ting over $5,000 are ineligib'e. It
thereby rejected a proposal for
the payment of premiums on a
graduated scale, according to the
individual's income.

In a discussion with delegates
from the various City employee
groups, the plan whereby the City
and the individual each pay half
of the established premium rates
was regarded as far better.

What Plan Costs

When the plan is put int: ef-
fect, each City Departmen’ will

units. An example would 92 the

The total cost for employees
for both the Health Insurance

employees; $76 a year for married
employees with no dependents,

with one or more dependents (no

Pay Raises in NYC
Greeted With Thanks

ESIDES having advanced persuasive and well-docu-

mented arguments in favor of substantial pay in-|
creases, NYC employee organizations have accepted the
inereases voted, and expressed appreciation to Mayor)
O'Dwyer and the Board of Estimate. The Board alone
has the power to grant increases, and it did so, on a basis}
up to $400 a year, in the mid-year of the budget, thus|
breaking precedent for the second time. The old excuse}
used to be: Employees must wait until the new budget is|
adopted before they can get any increases.

In other ways the O'Dwyer administration has demon-
strated its hearty concern for the economic plight of City
employees. Fortunately this evidence of conscience is now |
no longer a novelty in NYC administration, although a}
heartening contrast to that obtained during prior years. |

Employee organizations presented a united front.
In their common purpose they swept aside all temptation
to be contentious among themselves. They even exchanged
post-victory greetings.

Not having obtained all they sought, the employees
still will wage campaigns for what they deem just. In
accepting with thanks what has now been voted they in
no sense are precluded from attempting the settlement of
remaining requests, whether on pay, hours, conditions or
pensions.

All told, both sides acted as employer and employee

N. Y. STATE LAWS AFFECTING VETERANS

Haste in Holding Test
How soon after request is made
by a veteran must a comperable

promotion examination be given?
JVB.
There is no provision in the law

covering this point. Therefore, it
should be given within a reason-
able time. It may be advisabie to
wait for a period of one month
or two months if there is a pos-|
sibility that similar requests for|
the same examination may come
in during such period
Military Special Open Test

If an open-competitive #xam-~-
ination has been held while 4 per-
son eligible therefore was in mili-
tary service, could such person
claim that a comparable open-
competitive examination be ¢iven
to him after his return from mil-
itary service?—K.O.B,

No, There 1s no provision in the
Civil Service Law or Military Law
giving such person the right to
claim a comparable open-compet-

itive examination.
Degrees of Disability

If a veteran claims the exis-{
tence of a temporary war-incur-
red disability, must such disability |
be of such degree as to interfere
with the competent performance
of the duties of the position in
order to permit extension of the
mandatory ninety-day reinstate-
ment period?—E.V |

cate whether or not the tempor-| Inasmuch as the military eligible! candidates will compete in the

duties of the position, Apparently,

it was intended to give veterans
who needed medical attention an
opportunity for complete recoy-
ery before their restoration to
their former positions, The degree
of disability, the probabil edura-
tion of such disability, the ulti-
mate effect of such disability on
the ability to perform efficiently
the duties of the position are mat-
ters which will have to be given
careful consideration by the civil
service Commission in examining
such veteran,

Retention of Exempts

Does the “retention” provision
apply in the event of the abolition
of non-competitive or exempt (or,
in cities, labor class) positins?
—oOv,

The provision applies only to
positions which are subject to
Preference in appointment and
Promotion. It, therefore, would
not apply to non-competitive and
exempt positions for which no el-
igible lists are established.

Which List for Vet?

Where a military eligible is
reached for certification for a
Junior Clerk position from an
Assistant Pile Clerk list, what spe-
cial eligible list status does he
get?—L,

He 1s entitled to special eligible
list status for Junior Clerk cnly.
The purpose of the law is to
give military eligibles proteetion
against the loss of any
while they are on military duty,

tus for that position alone,

inform the public about President

Truman's empire at the St. Louis

Administration Center which is
fast becoming a fiasco. If it were

not so serious, it would be amus-

ing. In itself, the enormous Jabor
inefficiency
and deplorable execution of im-
vernment work. The

civilians are trying to get trans-

ferred and the Army personnel
have accepted life-time positions.

New York should hide its face
in shame when it realizes that the
model General Accounting Office
was run entirely by out-of-State
personnel and they allowed New
York workers to be literally kicked
around, although an office in New
York was nearest to Camp Dix,

Camp Kilmer and Fort Meade and
the office should never have been
transferred to St. Louis.

As to New Yorkers being kicked
around for months, workers were
assured that if they went to Si.
Louis they would have a five- or
ten-year job there and when
handed travel orders with thy
that the transfer from N

convenience and no expenses were
to be incurred by the government,

pense. Upon their return ta New

jould not possibly have perpetrat-
ed the holdup; (C) Green would
certainly have been loitering at
the jewelry store if he had robbed
Thomas; (5) the time of the crime
provides Green with an effective
alibi,
1, “Mr. B stated that, when
answered the doorbell, two
asked men armed with revolvers
forced their way into his apart-
ment. Without speaking, they went
directly to his bedroom and im-
mediately tore open the mattress,
where Mr, B had secreted $4,600

gagged Mr. B and departed with

sug-| their loot. According to Mr. B,/

ening before at a small party

place.” The one of the following
which indicates most strongly that
the robbers had been informed of
the existence of the values is
that the robbers (A) compelled
Mr. B to disclose the hiding place;
) neglected to tie and gag their

As a patrolman, you should realize

unwise chiefly because (A) the
package would have been claimed
if it were harmless; (B) bicar-
bonate of soda is harmless; (C)
there is a severe penalty for tam-
pering with the mails; (D) the
package was evidently addressed
to him; (E) he had no way of
knowing that the contents were

jess.

13. “The receptionist told the
police that a man had been sitting
in her office, waiting for an inter-
view. While he sat there, the re-
ceptionist opened and sorted the
mail, One letter contained a five
dollar bill, which she laid aside on
the desk. The man seized a desk
lamp, struck the receptionist over
the head, and fied with the
money.” This incident best illus-
trates a crime (A) committed with
little previous planning by the
criminal; (B) in which there was
collusion between the criminal and
the victim; (C) in which the
choice of weapon furnishes a clue
as to the identity of the criminal;
(D) which required precise ai
vance knowledge of the time
schedule followed by the intended
victim; (E) involving the use of
fraudulent means.

14. “On December 28th, the
New York City Police Department

better than foresight; (B) few
violations of the law occur spon-
taneously; (C) some police prob-
lems are created by publicity; (D)
the Times Square area is an im-
portant industrial area; (E) many
Police problems can be foreseen.

with teen-age boys in your own
neighborhood. There are rumors
that marijuana cigarettes have

hood. You decide to attempt to
discourage the youths from smok-
ing marijuana cigarettes, Of the
following, the argument which is
likely to be most effective is that
(A) marijuana, as a drug, is con-
siderably less potent than opium
or cocaine; (B) the individual who
flagrantly violates social codes

Hydraulics Study Aid

In NYC

Hydraulic questions may be ex-
pected to be asked in examina-
tions for promotions in the NYC
Fire Department. It is expected
that the Fire Captain examina-
tion will be next. Others will be
for promotion to Battalion Chief,
Deputy Chief and Chief of De-
partment.

The following questions and en-
swers are from a previous NYC
examination:

“The modern fire fighter is
highly skilled and utilizes complex
equipment in extinguishing fires.
Consequently, the fireman must
have a high degree of mechanical
aptitude and he must also be well
acquainted with the physical laws
governing the flow of water
through pipes and hose.” Ques-
tions 91 to 100 present schematic

pletely if the intake pipe is closed

level if the rate of intake is eal

the intake pipe is operating when
the discharge pipe is closed; (E)
time required to fill the tank, if
the discharge pipe is closed, de-
pends upon the rate of flow of
water through the intake pipe.

filled with water. The number 1
indicates air in the chamber, If
the water pressure in the pipe, 2,|
increases then the

(A) water pressure in the cham-

ber will be decreased; (B) water
level in the chamber will fall;
‘C) air in the chamber will be

compressed; (D) air in the cham-
ber will expand; (E) water will
flow out of the chamber.

92, Figure II represents a water
tank containing water. The num-
ber 1 indicates an intake pipe and
2 indicates a discharge pipe. Of
the following, the statement which
is least accurate is that the

(A) tank will eventually over-
flow if water flows through the
intake pipe at a faster rate than |

more fire-fighter before ringing
down the curtain on 1946, bringing
‘the total to five men killed in the
line of duty. The latest fatelity
was Frm. ist Grade Danie M.
Krauss, who was swept off the
step of Engine 15 as it rounded
a corner while returning from a
fire at Signal Station 239.

he got caught between the pumper

Deputy Chief Henry Wittekind,
1st Division, is to be congrstu-

Review of Civil Service in

A review of NYC civil service;

for 1946 shows that Mayor
O'Dwyer made his policy of an
improved recruitment system
strongly felt.

Early in the year the Mayor
expressed his keen interest in the
oe of job standardization.

purpose of the plan was to
straighten out contradictions in
job titles and duties.

Mayor O'Dwyer was urge? by
the Civil Service Reform Assccia-
tion to recommend in the City
budget an appropriation of $100,-
000 for a survey of positions in
NYC service based on actua! du-
ties performed and responsibilities
assumed by 180,000 employees of
the City. The budget, effective
July 1, 1946, was enacted wi ‘out
‘any such funds being include for
that purpose.

The Board of Transportation
set up new units for promotion,
so that more individual reward
could be paid for merit.

The policy of special military
lists was established by the Civil
Service Commission, to back up
the veteran preference act.

Painters, Electricians and Plumb-
ers employed in NYC were award-
ed differential back pay in excess
of $2,000,000.

New Type Test

The July 1 promotion plan was
disclosed by the City.

An amusing situation arose
when the many auxiliary organi-
ations of the Fire Depariment
complained that the pension yot-
ing power should also extend to
the ladies who, after all, were con-
sidered as the inspiring force be-
hind the fire fighters.

The Mortuary Caretakers in the

NYC hospitals requested a $300
increase.

Mayor O'Dwyer promises tnat
he would appoint a Personnel
Commission on Employee Piob-
lems.

The LEADER donated trophies
to the five winners of the tourna-
ment held by the Women’s Mu-
nicipal Pg J League of NYC.

‘The NYC Department of Health
snésostaced the new oral Group
Performance test for candidates
for appointment,

A charter was conferred on the
Uniformed Fire Officers Associa-
tion, bringing the Fire Depart-
ment membership in: American
Federation of Labor affillates to
10,000.

Grade ceilings were cracked
when the Board of Estimate sunc-
tion the principle of piercing the
top of salary grades to raise basic
pay in Grades 2 and 3 of various
services, particularly Clerk, Grade
2, and in some cases eliminating
Grade 1.

Budget Hearings Begin

In a budget meeting set aside
by the Board of Estimate for
hearing representatives of City
employees, an 18-hour presenta-
tion of arguments for wage in-
creases took place. Several city
departments were declared to be
outside the jurisdiction of the
Lyons Residence Law,

Harry Marsh's term as Presi-
dent of the Municipal Civil Serv-
fee Commission expired and
speculation ran high as to who
would succeed him,

Mayor O'Dwyer was asked to
probe the Municipal Civil Service
Commission by the City District
Council, American Federation of
