the 90,000 employees covered by the survey in private employment,
94 per cent of the office type employees work 40 hours or less.
‘The prevailing hours of work per week in State departmental
offices has been 36% in 5% days for many years, The Administration

The Administration has likewise determined that the State's
basic salaries should be for a number of hours per week uniform
among all employees, This cannot be accomplished at this time
because the existing institutional overtime law is based on a 48-hour
week. Governor Dewey will recommend, at the next session of the
Legislature, that the basic maximum hours of work for basic salary
shall be 40 hours, and that employees who are required to work

Dr. Tolman
ALB? Sept. 24—Dr, Frank L, Tolman, President 0) the Asso-
ciation of State Civil Service Employees, in commenting today on the
new rules establishing a shorter work week in State service, expressed
the gratitude of State employees to Governor Dewey and his admini-
stration. Dr. Tolman stated:
‘The Association considers these rules and orders by the Governor
and his administration as a great step forward, The Association Is
gind to acknowledge the fair and understanding attitude of the
administration in the consideration of this major work problem.
A five-day, 374,-hour work week is to be established immediately
for all departmental offices. A five-day, 40-hour week Is to be estab-
lished for the remainder of the State service, with overtime com-
pensation for all employees who work in excess of 40 hours, a5 soon
as the necessary legislation can be secured,
Other Changes Later
Under the proposed program, overtime compensation will be
paid to all State employees working more than 40 hours in any week,
Departmental employees who work in excess of 374% hours but not
more than 40 hours in any week will receive compensating time off
and will receive overtime pay for hours in excess of 40.
The five-day week for departmental offices is effective immediate-
ly, but it will of course not be possible to introduce the balance of
the new system overnight, Many new employees will be required.
New laws will be neces to authorize pay for overtime. The
necessary enabling leg! ed of the next legis-
lature and will be effective as soon as is legally possible,
Although the 40-hour week cannot be put into effect through-
out the State Institutions without new legislation, the Association is
hopeful that administrative action will be taken as soon &s possible
to put many Institutional employees on the 40-hour schedule,
Disparity in Hours
‘The final effect of these changes as they apply to institutional
employees is to increase salaries in two ways: first, the basic rate
will be paid for 40 hours’ work Instead of 48 hours; second, overtime
will be paid for time in excess of 40 hours at the new basic hourly
rate
The Association has long championed the adoption by the State
‘of the best practices commonly used In private industry, It has long
fought for the five-day week, the maximum 40-hour work week and
for pay for all overtime,
There have been gross inequities in the State service where
about one-half of the total employees were required to work 48 hours
weekly, while the remaining half worked 10 or 11 hours less each
week.
As the new plan i# put into operation, the Association will do
all in its power to make the new system work to the advantage of
the State, of the citizens and of the employees. The Association will

Everything Is Free
In Drive to
Tuberculosis
Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Sept. 24—Governor
Dewey, the first of many thousand
State employees to have a free
chest X-ray examination, said:
“Every State employee can help
put an end to tuberculosis in New
York by taking advantage of the|
chest X-ray service, which is
available free of charge, Your
voluntary participation will give
impetus to a program which will|
eventually reach every citizen.”
All X-ray reports will be con-
fidential and will be sent in sealed
envelopes to all employees ex-
amined. If abnormal findings are)
noted in an X-ray film, the inter-|
pretation will be sent to the em-
ployee's
worker will be advised to consult
that physician.
To make it as easy as possible
for employees to take advantage
of this important public health
service the X-ray equipment will
be set up. The State Capitol is
the starting point, Employees are
notified by the State Personnel
Council, of which Mary Goode
Krone is Chairman, through their
Department heads, of the time and
Place for examination,
It is not necessary to remove)
clothing to undergo the X-ray ex-
amination.
The X-raying of State employees
is only the beginning of the ex-
pansion of case finding which has
for its aim the X-ray examination
of every one of the 13 million
residents of New York. Case find-
ing, through whatever means, is
ly one phase of the expanded
tuberculosis control program of

To assure free treatment and

who has or is suspected of having

anything for care, treatment or

Hospital.
Reimbursement Plan
Counties and cities are entitled
to reimbursement by the State for
(reatment of tuberculosis patients
in tuberculosis hospitals or in
| tuberculosis departments of gen-
eral hospitals operated by such
localities. The amount of State
aid is 50 per cent of the per diem
cost of treatment of patients at »
rate not to exceed $2.50 a day per
patient.
The program calls also for #
study of rehabilitation facilities
for patients and intensification of
research in tuberculosis,
Dr. Robert E. Plunkett, General
| Superintendent of tuberculosis
hospitals, said:
“The Governor has set the goal.
The State and local health de-
partments have been given a job
to do, It presents a challenge of
major proportions, The State De-
partment of Health has accepted
that challenge. Every official and
voluntary agency directly or in-
directly concerned with this great
human and economic problem
must also accept this challenge.”

Liberal party plank is published
this week,
: LIBERAL PARTY
We hold that the public should
be a model employer. Thereby it
will contribute to the general bet-
terment of living and improve
the level of public service.
1. Upward Revision of Pay Sched-
The increase in the cost of liv-

rary increases voted during the}
war, there should be further in-
creases at least commensurate
with the rise in the cost of living.
2. All Pay Increases Should Be
Made Permanent
The State's pay schedules be-
fore the war were so low that all
temporary increases should be
made permanent, particularly
since a decline in the cost of liv-
ing is not in sight. Even with|
the increases, the pay is modest
and, in many instances, too low.
3. The Pay Increases Should Be
Covered in Pension Funds

creases from being deemed part
of the pay for pension purposes. |

PASSING OVER
DISABLED VETS
Special to The LEADIER
ALBANY, Sept. 24—The prac-
tice of the State Civil Service
Commission in passing over dis-
abled veterans in favor of other
disabled veterans in appointments
and promotions from eligible lists,
differs from NYC practice where
the 1-2-3 appointment and pro-
motion rule is followed.
The law provides that the ap-
pointing officer may select from
among the three highest eligibles
willing to accept appointment
When all thxee are disabled vet-
eraas, the choice of any one of
them ts held to satisfy the law
But a disabled veteran may not
be passed over in favor of a non-|
disabled veteran or a non-veleran,
or a non-disabled veteran over a|
noneveteran
The NYC Civil Service has
adopted the policy of requiring
certifications and appointments in
1-3-3 order. To skip an eligible,
the NYC appointing officer must
have the express .permission of

Gaining Attention .
HE correction of salary injusti
tention of Federal, State and ¢
time.
The plight of employees frozen at the top of a grade
for long years has been a constant subject of discussion,
but not a cause of action. Inadequacy of salaries in certain |
categories, including professional, has endured from one]
administration to another. a Pmt
President Harry B. Mitchell, of the U. S. Civil Service
Commission, revealed that there is a movement afoot for
a complete study of Federal pay scales, The 80th Con-
gress is to ask that the study be made. x
N, ‘tate, through its Salary Standardization Board,
is now engaged in a survey of salaries paid in private
industry and in other branches of government. The Board
is charged by both the Legislature and Governor Dewey
with the duty of recommending such improvements as it
deems necessary or advisable in the Feld-Hamilton
schedules, |
Iayor O'Dwyer has had a committee studying y
scales in the Board of Transportation, The group recom
mended 20-cents-an-hour increase. Such a separate sur-|
vey was necessary because the operating employees were
underpaid and the Board is legally outside the city gov-
ernment proper,
YC needs an overall study of pay scales. The
departments and agencies directly under the Mayor are)
entitled to the same careful pay appraisal as Transporta-
tion received. At present, except for hasty and hectic
es is engaging the a’
y officials, It’s about
consideration given to pay scales at annual budget time,
there is no means of getting the over-all picture. Now}
separate consideration is given to group appeals as they
arise, but, after budget adoption, only very limited funds
exist, the left-overs.
WILLIAM E. SKILLMAN
FROM his office on the 16th
floor of the NYC Municipal Build-
ing, William E. Skillman cam-
paigns for farming, his hobby,
which he practices. He has util-
ized his spare time to raise food
for his family of five children,
His advice to every civil service
employee is to acquire a farm and
produce food to combat inflation
and to supplement the low sal-
aries paid by the city.

Hatch Act
Injustices
By Harry B. Mitchell
President, U. 8. Civil Service Commission
MATTER in which the U. 8S. Civil Service Comission is vitally ine
terested {s an amendment to the Hatch Act. The Commission _
should have discretion so that it will not have to remove Federal:
employees from their positions because of trivial and unwitting
violations of the act, The public generally should know more about
the inequities and absurdity of the law as it now stands.
The original Hatch Political
Activities Act became effective
August 2, 1939. A provision of that
statute which directly concerns
both the Civil Service Commission
and Federal employees, is Section
91a). It prohibits persons “in the
executive branch of the Federal
Government” (with exceptions)
from taking “any active part in
political management or in_ poli-
teal campaigns,” Now, so far as
those “in the competitive classi-
fied service” were concerned, this
imposed no prohibition to which
they were not already subject
under Civil Service Rule I, Section
Congress recognized that rule
by paralleling its language in
framing Section 9(a). The obvious
effect of that section was to ¢x-
tend restrictions against political
activity to unclassified employees
not before subject to the rule But, a ,
the Act had another drastic effect, HARRY 8. MITCHELL
In administration of the rule prior to the Hatch Act, the Com=
mission had unlimited discretion as to penalties. “An employee who
had committed some minor violation of the Rule could have been
subjected to a minor penalty, often only a reprimand, The Hatch
Act prescribed one inflexible penalty. Section 9(b) decreed that every
and since then has attained the
distinction of appearing in more
litigation and disposing of more |
trials than any-other Assistant |
Founded Veteran Group
A veteran of World Wars I and
IT, he is the founder of the New|
York War Veterans in Civil Sery-|
fee and took an active part in
organizing tle veterans through-
out New York State, A past State
Chairman of the veterans’ group,
he js presently Chairman of the
Membership Committee.
He is a member of Aviators
Post 743, American Legion.
He believes in the Three Platoon |
System for the Police, Fire and
Correction services and the five-
day week for all other services,
25-Year Retirement
He also advocates a 25-year re-|
Urement law, with free medical}
attention during those years, |
“Too many civil employees,” he |
says, “die in harness, While this
may in some cases tend to build|
violator should be “immediately removed from the position or office) ~
held by him." se
Some State and Local Employees Included
Then came the August 19, 1940, amendment to the Hatch Act.
Section 12(a) became applicable to State or local employees whose
“principal employment” was “in connection with” activities financed
in whole or in part through Federal funds, It made those employees
subject to the restrictions prescribed for Federal employees by Section +
9(a) of the original Act, It gave discretion, we think very wisely,
to the Commission to determine whether a violation by a State or
local employee was serious enough to Warrant his removal. This was
not complete leeway, but it was enough that In. State cases the
Commission could find removal of the principal offender or offenders
warranted without so finding in respect to minor employees whose
violations were trivial or due to instructions from official superiors.
I know of no other law on the statute books of the United States,
or of any State, which does not give the courts some discretion; and,
in these cases, the Commission has a function similar to that of a
court. >
In Justice to Senator Hatch, it should be explained that it was -
not his intention that the law should be so harsh in the case of
Federal employees, and in subsequent sessions of Congress he has
introduced or favored bills which would give the Commission the
right to inflict a lesser penalty than removal when only a lesser
penalty was justified, However, in the framing of the law and in
consideration of it by the Congress, language was inserted and
approved which brought about the present unfortunate situation.

ance with a rule promulgated by the President under its provisions, .

to be Justice of the Peace, But such results have followed.
Too Severe a Penalty in Some Cases
{No doubt some persons removed since the Hatch Act was passed
deserved removal because of their flagrant and sometimes persistent
political activity. There are others who should have been punished
by suspension from the payroll for periods of varying lengths; but
it has seemed to the Commission very regrettable that persons who
were slightly at fault, if at feult at all, should be punished to the
extent of taking away their means of livelihood and lessening their
earned retirement credits.

plaints which “have come to the Commission about persons of that

that such office holders would have escaped.
Protection of a Law Is Needed
Some people have taken the position that the Hatch Act ought
to be repealed. The Hatch Act and Civil Service Rule I, Section 1,
if the Commission's former discretion were restored, are a protection
for employees against possible coercion and keep the civil service
free of politics.

Clerk Promotion Rule
In Higher Grades Held
‘Too Severe on Veterans
The proposal of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission to estab-
sh a minimum one-year eligib-
ility requirement for admission to
@ promotion examination in the
lowest grade except in the clerical,
Police and Pire services, and two
years minimum in the higher
grades is opposed by the NYC Civil
Service Carer Association. An ad-
verse effect on veterans, arising
from extra-long requirements of
in-grade service for higher clerical
promotions, was charged.
The Association held that the
proposed addition to Rule V, Sec-
tion 10 would be inflexible, often
unfair to employees and restric-
, tive of the discretion of the Cor
| mission to vary time-in-grade re-
| quirements for promotion to meet
| the changing needs of the city.
The Association resolved that it
have representatives, and such
members as can, appear before the
Municipal Civil Service Commis- |
sion when a public hearing on the |
proposed amendment is held
Called Too Stiff
Secretary John H, Coyle said:
“Requirements for the Fire and
Police Services are fixed by the|
Administrative Code and not sub-
ject to action of the Commission.
The sole exception to the pro-
posed minima in services subject
to the Commission's authority is
the Clerical Service. Timo-in-
| grade requirements for promotion
in the Clerical Service are much
more restrictive than those pro-
posed for the other services.
“Only in the Clerical Service, of
the 47 classified services, has
lengthy time-in-grade require-
ments for promotion to the higher
grades been invoked. At resent,
only 10 services have requirements
which are fixed by rules of the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion, those being the services in
existence prior to 1932. Nine of
the services having requirements
fixed by such rules have, In gen-
examination for promotion,
‘Thirty-five services, added to the
classification since 1932, approxi-
mately three-quarters of the serv-
ices now listed, have no fixed
time-in-grade requirements, the
requirements being set for each
examination at the discretion of
the Commission. Many of the
services added since 1932 were
originally included in the Clerical
Service but by reclassification
escaped the restrictions of Rule V,
Section 10."
Cites Effect on Vets
Citing the condition arising
from the recent reinstatement of
Paragraph 7(a) of Rule V, Section
10, requiring three years in grade
for eligibility for promotion in the
Clerical Service, Mr. Coyle ex-
plained why the application of
Paragraph 7(a) to the proposed
examination for Clerk, Grade 5,
would require of employees other-
wise eligible periods of service in
the 4th grade of from seven to
nine years, rather than the three
years nominally required by the
rule,
‘Thomas A. Downes, Chairman
of the Veterans’ Committee,
pointed out the conflict between
the veteran preference law and
the three-year-in-grade require-
ment for Clerk, Grade 5.
“Unfortunate timing of the pro=
posed examination for Clerk,
Grade 5, to be held two years
after the date of the first ap-
pointments from the current list
for Clerk, Grade 4," he stated,
“will deny veterans any benefit of
the preference which extends only
to 1950."
Mr. Downes said that several
veterans’ organizations had adop-
ted and forwarded to the Mayor
resolutions opposing “contraven-
tion of the veteran preference law
by occasional invoking of local
rules”
Offices of the Association are at
140 West 42nd Street, Manhattan.

Powell Asks
Less Service
For Promotion
Aiding the efforts of NYC cler-
feal employees to gain a liberall-
gation of the requirements for ad-
ae to promotion examina-
Commissioner William J.
Powel, of the Sanitation Depart-
ment, made a formal reqquest to
the Civil Service Commission to
cut the time-service requirement
for promotion to Clerk, Grade 5,
from there years to one yeur.
Similar requests were made by
the Police Department, the Law
Department and the Board of
Estimate.
Commissioner Powell’s letter to
President Ferdinand Q. Morton
read:
“Your Commission is respect-
fully requested to amend the eli-
gibility rules regarding the length
of service for promotion to Clerk,
Grade 5, from three years to one
year, in order to allow Clerks,
Grade 4, who are now serving as
division heads and assistant divi-
sion heads to compete in the
forthcoming examination.
‘The department has lost over
twenty 5th Grade positions during
the last ten years because of no
existing eligible promotion lst.
There are 225 clerks allowed
for this department, eight of
which are listed as Sth Grade
positions.”

Chapter 589 Explained
The mention in the examination
notice above of Chapter 589 of the
Laws of 1946 refers to retroactive
seniority accorded to veterans. If
they were on the Patrolman eligi-
ble list and were reached for cer=
tification while they were in the
armed forces, and therefore could
not accept appointment, but were
appointed after their discharge
from the armed forces, their sen-
jority counts from the date that
the man next lower on the list
was actually appointed. Thus the
period served in the armed forces
after that date counts the same as
if the actual service were rendered
in the Police Department. Senior=
ity ts Mkewise retroactive for purs
poses of record and seniority which
count 50 per cent in promotion

Section 25-a of the Civil Service
Law fits the exception in that it

No, Section 63 of the Public
Officers Law provides that veter-

Tf this is the usual allowance to
all employees, veterans are not

that veterans are entitled to May

Section 246(7) of the Military

City Employees’ Strikes
Increase in the Nation
tigation by the Connectiout Board
Several strikes of city workers
were terminated recently by pay
raises while in other cities strikes
and strike threats by municipal
employees continued to disrupt
local administration.
‘The International City Man-
agers’ Association reported new
strikes in Pontiac, Mich.; Not.
walk, Conn.; Bangor, Me., ani
other cities, Striking city workers
returned to their fobs meanwhile
in six other municipalities,
‘The Pontiac strike began on Au-
gust 28, when 200 city employees
walked out after the City Council
turned down demands for a $20
monthly pay increase for salaried
workers and a 5-cent boost for
workers paid by the hour, The
CIO union also asked for a 40-
hour week with time and one-half
for overtime, time off with full
closed shop.
Bill Seeks More Pay
Maintenance crews kept utility
services functioning during the
strike, but most other city ac-
tivities except Pire and Police were
halted and union members pic-
keted the City Hall. Councilmen
voted that a charter amendment
be put on the November ballot
to remove Pontiac from the State
15-mill tax Hmit, thus enabling
the city to boost revenues to meet
pay raise demands,
In Norwalk, Conn., schools were
closed when 225 teachers struck
because of a salary dispute involv-
ing city refusal to grant pay raises
averaging about $400 a year. The
dispute was intensified by the city
Board of Education’s objection to
public school Principals, Super-
Visors and Head Teachers being
members of the local teachers’ as-
sociation, The State Education
Commissioner promised an inves-
of Education,
Most other recent strikes and
strike threats by municipal work-
ers involved mainly public works
employees and generally those on
an hourly wage rather than sal
aries,
No-Strike Pledge Signed
In Bangor, Me., 90 Public Works

COMMA IS
CRUCIAL
IN NOVEL EXAM
Treated to the unsual experi-
ence of a promotion examination,
and a written one gt that, 27
Registration Officers of the Vet-
erans Administration Regional
Office tn NYC got the surprise of
their lives when they were asked,
on the exam, the exact titie of
their immediate superior’s job,
and the correct spelling of the
name of the manager of the en-
tire office.
More, they were dumfounded to
learn that a comma could make
the answer to one of those oues-
tions correct, its absence. or any
substitute, make it wrong. As to
the big boss's name, everyoody
knows it’s E. B. Dunkelberger, but
woe unto any one who got it
wrong, (N.B—Mr, Dunkelberger
did not know about the examina-
tion questions.)
“What is Mr. F. L, Kane's ex-
act title?” was one of the ques-
tions. The answer, correct an-
swer; Chief, Vocational Rehabili-
tation and Education Division. It
Was reported that anybody who
followed, was completely outside
the law.
Some Other Questions
Other questions for the exami+
nation, for promotion from the
CAP-7 Grade to CAF-9, were im
substance:
‘What is the maximum time al-
lowed for calling up to say you
will be late?
What do you do next, after you
come in late?
Under what section of the law
(GI. bill) is a letter of eligibility
issued?
Of the 27, only 7 received notice
of the result, and, as they were
given Form 62 to fill out (the
promotion form), they were deem:
ed to be the only ones to have
passed the intra-office affai:
Some of the candidates felt that
introducing the examination was
not according to civil service pro~
cedure (there are no such exams
in the Federal service, they say);
also, no persons promoted prior to
June 1 last had to compets but
those promoted afterward, a not

In NYC strike threat by the Trans-
port Workers Union was nullified
by an announcement that Board
of Transportation operating em-
ployees would get increases.
The fact that NYC employees,
as well as Board of Transport:
tion employees, are paid from an
annual budget was not even used
by Board officials or city officials
as a defense, although city income
-|is Mmited by law, and a law
passed by Congress, made all em-
ployees sign an affidavit that was
substantially a promise not to

organization that permitted strikes
by public employees was ground

Disability Can Close Some Jobs
To Veterans Under the State Law
The very war-incurred dis-
ability that otherwise would grant)
first preference to disabled vet-
erans may foreclose them from
some jobs with stiff physical re-
quirements.
Section 21 of the Civil Service
Law, and Section 246 (10) of the
Military Law, both deal with
physical qualifications for vetorans| disease, even though the candidate
and contain provisions which are
much the same. The Civil Service
Law specifically provides that a
disabled veteran shall not be dis-
qualified by reason of physical
disability, provided such “disability
does not render him incompetent
to perform the duties of the posi-
tion applied for.” The Miutary
Law states that a veteran shall
not be disqualified from holding a
ition in the public service un-
jess the disability is “so severe as
to prevent him from efficiently
performing the duties of
position.” The question now arises
as to exactly what procedure to
follow in order to carry out these
provisions of law, Obviously, all
disabled veterans cannot be con-
such |
|
sidered physically qualified even
under these provisions of law
neither can all of them be dis
qualified, The State Civil Servic
Commission has adopted a policy
which will be Interesting to munt-
cipal commissions and very likely
will be workable without revision.
In examinations for positions
which require extraordinary phy
sical effort, such as Policeman,
Fireman, Prison Guard, ete, the
minimum physical requirements
deemed necessary for the com
petent performance of duties are
announced. These requirements
are considered to be critical stand~
ards for competen and failure}
to meet them,
whether by reason! Second Department,
| which do not fall into the above
of war-incurred disability o1
otherwise, Is the equivalent of a
finding of tncompetency or in-
efficiency and, therefore, grounds
for rejecting the applicant.
For a position which does no!
require extraordinary physical ef-
fort, the State Civil Service Com-
mission does not reject a veteran
with a war-incurred disability or
may not meet announced physical
requirements, unless he is incom-
petent to perform the duties of
the position. The determination
of incompetency is made by the
physician examining the candi-
date, but only after he has care-
fully studied the duties of the
position and ascertained the de-
gree of physical perfection neces~
sary to competently perform such
duties, Unusual or doubtful cases
categories are handled
ually.
Probationary Period
In a case in Kings County Sup-
reme Court (Silverman y, Taylor),
@ probationary term was held not
required of disubled veterans The
decision was based in part on Sec~
tion 2214) of the Civil Service
Law, which eliminates temporary |
individ-
or provisional employees from the |
protection of removal procedures, |
Bince this subdivision (4) does not
mention persons appointed for a
probationary term, the court was
of the opinion that a notice of
charges and a hearing were re-|
quired to remove a veteran at the|
end of his probationary term |
Since this decision differed from
one handed down by the Appel-
late Division in another case
(Losee v, Wallace), an appeas was |
taken, The Appellate Division, |
followed its!
re) first reasoning. Specifically the
court stated;

VET PROBATIONAL APPOINTEES
GET LEAVES FOR G.I. STUDIES
Veterans serving a probationary
appointment period in the NYC
| government may get a leave of
absence to take study courses un-
der the GI bill. The Municipal
Civil Service Commission adopted |
a resolution declaring that policy.
‘The probationary period applies
to appointees from open-competi-
tive lists, At its sastifactory com-
pletion the appointee is perma~-
nent. However, the veterans who
take authorized leave from a pro-
bationary position will have to
complete the probationary period!
on their return from leave. In
other words, the school period
does not count as part of the
probationary period, which is six
months.
There are no probationary pe-
riods for competitive promotions
nor for non-competitive appoint~
ments or promotions.
Veterans must get clearance
from the Veterans Administration
that they are entitled to take ad-
vantage of the GI bill's educa~
tional provisions, before a leave is
actually granted.
SEPT. 30 LAST DAY TO CONVERT
TO AGE-55 RETIREMENT PLAN
Next Monday, Sept, 30, is the
last day on which NYC employees
may take advantage of the pres-
ent opportunity to convert their
lesser retirement option to age-55
retirement,
This plan generally calls for a
higher rate of deduction, bu: pro-
vides earlier retirement, and be-
cause the period is shorter, the|
total amount paid in may be less
than under the employee's pres-|
ent plan Every dollar that the
employee contributes is matched
by_the City's contribution,
‘The opportunity to change over
to this plan is provided by a law
passed at the last session of the
Legislature, and it may not sie

NYC Employees’ Retirement Sys~
tem, 52 Chambers Street, Man-

retary of the System, urges all

year plan to seize this CpDOE URE
