It. was found that in many of
the City Departments, persons had
been passed over for promotion
because they were earning less
than the maximum salary of their
grade, That may be done, but
the law must be followed, As ex-
plained in last week's LEADER,
the law says
| “The Commission (Civil Serv-
|tce) shall upon receiving a request
| from an appointing officer for the
certification of eligibles for a va-
cant position certify from the elt-
gible list for that position the
three names at the head of the
list. . The appointing officer
shall made selection from the
three names certified, except that
in cases where the names of dis-
abled veterans are certified, such
veterans shall be, given preference
in appointment

“Selection shall be made singly
and in each case from the three
highest names remaining eligi-
ble. i

Only Top Bracket Promotions

However, in accordance with the
City’s policy of only promoting
those at the top of their salary
bracket, it appears too many eli-
gibles were skipped in some in-
stances.
The Civil

for next

rvice Commission
has announced that It will not
permit any illegal promotions to
go through. In each case where
irregularities are disclosed, the
Commission refuses to put through
the promotion, notifies the de-

In that case, the following ac-
Hons may be taken:

NYC Employees Obtain Individual Raises in Pay «

Many New York City em-
ployees have to depend on
individual increases for any

improvement in their finan-
cial condition. For example,

as|all clerical employees who

Teach $2,400 a year through an-

nual increments and promotions

stop right there. Any more money
must come individually. Em-
Ployees who are not included in

the increment class don’t get any

raises, according to law. They de-

pend on the personal changes in
line in the City

their salary
Budget.

How these increases come about

is an interesting story. To begin

with, they don't follow any set
plan. Some employees go along

for years at the same rate, a
doing the. same work go up the
financial ladder.

Ralse Must Be Requested

First step is for the head of the
department to request the in-
crease, That is usually done in a
letter to the Budget Bureau.

Next step depends on the finan-
cial situation in the department,
Right now, all City departments
have large surpluses piled up be-
cause of salary savings, The
money, which would nornially be
paid to men and women in mili-
tary service, piles up as “military |
accruals.” Last year about ten
million dollars appeared in the
budget under this heading.

The budget examiner for the de-
partment is advised of the re-

quest, makes an investigation, andy c1
feporta bad back to the gy Bu-
reau whether he thinks the in-
crease is justified in view of the
quero duties, length of serv-
ioe, added responsibilities, etc,

“Modification”

The Budget Bureau
issue a “modification” and the
raise goes through. But in many
oases, the increase has to get the
approval of Mayor LaGuardia,
Exempt employees’ increases must
have the Mayoral OK. Any large
raises go to City Hall for ap-
Proval, Also, if the department
hasn't any extra money in its
Personal services appropriation,
the Mayor would have to give his
approval to shift funds from some
other source to grant the in-

can then} $8,000,000

crease.

While City employees feel that
they are absorbing the work left
by persons in military service and
that the money saved should be
distributed among them in raises;
that view isn't shared by adminis-
tration officials. For one thing,
the cost-of-living bonus (about

000, @ year) is paid from
funds left by the accruals. Then
such emergencies as snowfalls call
for large expenditures, and the
money goes,

And, some employees complain,
when individual raises pear,
they have a habit of attaching
| themselves to upper-bracket per-
sons, who are close to the depart-
ment heads.

The Pay Situation
For NYC Employees

B President Roosevelt.in his budget message to
Congress, and Governor Dewey in his message to the
State Legislature, urged increases in the pay of public
employees. Both men recognize, and both stated frankly,
that public employees have suffered in the war period, as
compared with employees in private industry. Legislation
has been readied to provide the necessary increases.

But in New York City, Mayor LaGuardia has been
significantly mum on the subject of higher pay for em-
ployees. His recent message to the City Council held out
no hope for improvement here. And heads of departments
have been asked to keep expenses down, Even when they
want to, they have no way of upping the pay of employees.
It is a little sad, and employees of the City are disheart-
ened as they see themselves once again the stepchildren
of wartime economy. The City’s policy can hardly be
deemed a wise one. The promotion of some 600 clerical
employees and some 200 firemen doesn’t, of course, begin
to solve the problem. We suggest that Mayor LaGuardia
follow the example of the Federal and State executives,
and look with more sympathy upon the needs of the City's
employees, In passing, we'd like to recommend to the
Mayor's attention a study made by Philadelphia’s munici-
pal research bureau, which shows that New York City’s
Sanitation men earn less than similar workers in other
large cities, even though the cost-of-living index in NYC
is higher.

There has been talk in Albany that the State may
turn back to the municipalities a portion of the heavy
State tax accumulation, and that the municipalities will in
turn use this windfall to increase the pay of local em-
ployees. [See story on Page 1.] Maybe yes, maybe no.
We'd like to see it happen, but it's hardly something to
bank on. The place where better pay originates is at home.

OTH Federal and State employees seem assured of

POLICE CALLS
How Cops Stand in Draft

Many members of the NYC Police Department are wondering if
they'll be affected by changes in the Selective Service Regulations.
As it looks now, the. men over 26 won't face any change in their
status. Those under 26, however, jnay find themselves facing
reclassification into 1-A. In fact, tast week, the Military Service
Bureau of-the Department was busy going through the books and
making a listing of the men under 26. The final check-up showed
that there aren't many ad wre = — —

day. Those who are under that) required to report any changes in
age may find themselves trading | thelr draft status immediately,

their uniforms for G.I. issues, but
in all probability the department
will try to hold on to them, The
last man from the uniformed
force to be drafted was called
away on November 28, 1944. He
was on under 26'er.

Even with « tightening of the
draft regulations, there wouldn't
be too many members of the uni-
formed force who'd face @ call to
armed service, The check made
Inst week by the department's
Military Service Bureau showed
only the following number of
young men on the active rolls:
‘Under 26, 64; between 26 and 30,

Those Over 26

As for the older men in the
department, they are pretty well
protected against a change to 1-A
and a “Greetings.” While Police
work wasnt included in the recent
list of “critical” occupations, local
boards are granting 2-A cards to
policemen over 26, That list was
by no means all-inclusive of those
jobs which lead to a 2-A defer-
ment. .

The members of the force are

| and the Military Service Bureau
says that about the only changes
coming in recently have been men
reaching 38 who trade their 2-A
classification for a 4-A (over-age)
rating,

However, the war has already
taken a pretty big bite out of the
Police Department. Of the 15,529
members of the uniformed force,
921 sre now on military leave,

Many more would be in uniform
if they had their way. Like City
firemen, the cops are afraid that
chances of promotion after the
wat may be pretty well monopo-
lized by veterans, A disabled vet-
eran goes right up to the top of
&@ promotion list. Legislation may
be passed which will give non-
disabled veterans preference over
the men who were deferred, even
against thelr will, And the de-
partment is holding firmly to a
Policy of not granting leave to a
patrolman who wants to enlist,

The Police veterans also bene-
fit by better treatment when they

Jerome Leo Haney

YOU PROBABLY didn't know
that New York City is in the real
estate business on a big scale, but
that's so, and Jerome Leo Haney,
head of the Division of City Rev-
enue, manages property for the
Real Estate Bureau of the Board
of Estimate, and has all the trou-
bles of a landlord.

Before the war, the City usually
had between two and three thou-
sand pieces of property which it
rented out. Right now, it’s down
to about 1,600 but there are more
difficulties to face.

For one thing, Office of Price
Administration rulings apply to
Uncle Knickerbocker as much as
to any other landlord, and vol-
uminous forms have to be made
out and filed with that agency,
Tenants want heat, repairs, new
stoves, and haye other complaints.

How It Happens
How the City happens to be in
the real estate business makes an
interesting story, Mr. Haney ex-
ged that property is acquired
y purchase or condemnation to
make room for schools, parks,
playgrounds, patkways, or other
s, However, before the

lurpose:
uildings are demolished to make}

room for the new development
may take a considerable time—
some property has been on the
City’s hands for years. So, instead
of boarding up the buildings and
having the job of protecting them
from vandalism, the City rents
them out and nets itself some
money in the process.
Blueprints Ready

The post-war era will find Mr,
Hancy a busy man. Blueprints
are ready for millions of dollars of
City construction-and much of it
will involve taking over private
property.

For recreation, he likes to get
as far away from buildings as be
can. His favorite spot is ice-skat-
ing on a big lake without even
& building in sight.

When he first took a job with
the City 24 years ago (as a clerk
in the same Bureau which he now
heads) he was quite a ball player,
and was @ member of semi-profes-
sional baseball teams in Brooklyn,
Now he's one of the rabidest
Dodger ns in the Municipal
Building, and will defend Brook-
lyn from all slanderers,

Every year, his bureau brings a
few hundred thousand dollars into
the City treasury from premises

to manage all kinds of property;

The Association of State Civil

several hundred eligibles on this
Uist are in military service; (2)
permanent appointments have not
been made recently from the list
because so many eligibles are un-
available to take the posts; (3)
the list is now used for temporary
substitute appointments, and if it
is not extended it will expire and

THE IDEA of prohibiting 100
cent coverage of a lot by a
building is usually good. be-

Qause we are now in New York
ong suffering from the effect of
great density of buildings,

rection, yet with the same bad ef-| terior

replacement of obsolete structures
fs thereby discouraged, if not pre-
vented, since proposed new build-
‘ngs would be uneconomical. We

years. Just how much salary in-

Long-Term Policy

A long-term pay policy with reg-
ilar increments within the struc-
ture of fair pay scales was asked
by Westchester County employees |
at recent hearings on the proposed
1945 County Budget.

“The County cannot meet the
pay offered by war industries,”
said President J. Allyn Stearns,
of the Westchester County Com-
petitive Civil Service Association,
Inc, “but other governmental
‘units and many businesses are not
in war work and are still able to
retain © much greater proportion
of their help than we.”

Among specific suggestions of
the Moe hes were:
Yearly Increments

“The budget should provide a
Payment of one scale step for
everyone who Is not at the maxi-
mum of the scale. It should be
permanently established that a
one-step increment will be given
each year until the maximum is
reached, to ench eligible employee
whose work is satisfactory—with-
out Fi gin to personalities, In-
stead of the present system where-
by increments may be received
every other year contingemt upon

$1,200 Minimum Pay
“We ask that a $1,200 minimum

budget this amount

up to it. This has been done gen-
erally by the State and city. 0
Now York and with higher

costs in Westchester it is easen<
tial that we pay ih to- pro-
yide a decent standard of living
for our lowest paid employees.

“We further ask that full cs
pet to Se cree ee ge
cellings so every person af-
fected by them may receive ad
increase—and suggest with refer-
ence to this that there should be
no one-way budget policies.

“We refer specifically to the title
of Senior Stenographer the max-
imum salary of which was raised
from $1,800 to $1,920, There
three girls of this title in
Park Commission who have wor!
for the County for at least 18
years, They are loyal and efficient
Operators and two of them have
been at the old maximum for 1
years. In accordance with
stated County policy they were
recommended for an gg sd As!
the new maximum by the
partment.

Retroactive Reclassification Pay ,

“We ask next that provision be
made for retroactive salary in-
creases as of January 1, 1945, ta
employees whose maxima are
raised or who are reclassified to
higher titles during the year and
eee performing the position

juties.”
