Unemployment Pay Fight
Rages: House vs. Senate
WASHINGTON—An unyielding fight over inclusion of unemployment compensation benefits f o r government workers
and travel home pay in the George reconversion bill is being
fought in the Conference Committee, consisting of Senate and
House members.
Senate members are steadfast in
their determination to keep these
two sections of their original bill
intact. They claim that government
workers should be treated just as
fairly as workers in private industry.
House members are just as adam a n t in backing up action of the
Ways and Means Committee which
struck out these two sections when
the bill got into its hands after passage through the Senate.
T h e House is strictly economy-
minded. The Senate fair-minded.
It is anybody's guess as to what
will h a p p e n . However, even if the
House is successful in striking out
these provisions there is still hope.
Proponents of these sections plan
to get t h e m passed later. B y missing out at this final session, though,
thousands of federal employees will
be excluded from s u c h benefits if
the war is over in Europe much before the first of the year and wholesale cuts are instituted m government.

them. Suppose some of the talk comes from your side. Civil
service employees have plenty of troubles — and this is one
time of the year the politician has just got to listen to you.
This is the time of year he can't give you the old brush-off.
He needs you.
Civil service employees constitute a tremendous political
power. And more than other groups, they are a unified force.
Why ? Because, for example, you have 40,000 State employees
with the same boss, and pretty much the same problems. You
have 150,000 New York City employees with the same boss,
and pretty much the same problems.
Do you think a politician is going to listen to that kind of
power ?
You bet he will!
So when the boys come around to your bailiwick, and tell
you how wonderful they are, and what they are going to do
for you — make sure! Do your own talking. Now is the time
you can make it stick.

The 54 Hour Work-Week
Doesn't Pan Out
HEN the Army Service Forces of the War Department introduced a 54-hour week and cancelled all
leaves for civilian employees, The LEADER took a
wait-and-see attitude. We went on the assumption that General Somervell knew what he was doing, and that if the 54-hour
work-week contributed toward winning the war, the employees
should give it a test. We certainly don't feel we're capable of
telling the General how to win the war, but we do want to
draw some conclusions from the facts.
Well, the test has shown, according to our Washington correspondent, t h a t :
1. Output has not increased.
2. Morale and efficiency have lagged.
The 54-hour work-week is a failure, in terms of meaningful
results. Dissatisfaction among employees, proof of overwhelming hardship in some cases, and a desire of employees to leave
the service — these have been the results.
General Somervell should go back to the old 48-hour week.

say, and they can't take it. The

heads over the rush of complaints
from ihe men that this dreamdisease is blasting the energy out

County Government In New York State
By FRANK C. MOORE
Comptroller, Stale of New Tork
ALMOST a century before
tlHe State of New York came
into being, the first Colonial
'Assembly, in 1683, divided the
Pirovince into ten counties.
^ A l t h o u g h t h e counties were p r i m a r i l y erected to provide a basis
of r e p r e s e n t a t i o n in t h e new As£&mbly, t h e county was also
a d o p t e d as t h e u n i t of a d m i n i s t r a t i o n of t h e system of courts established a t t h a t time.
T h e Colonial Assembly thereby
q r e a t e d n o t only a new agency,
b u t also a new expense, of government.
^ Subsequently, e a c h t o w n was dir e c t e d to elect a freeholder
" t o supervise a n d e x a m i n e t h e
gfiblique a n d necessary c h a r g e
of e a c h respective County.'*
T h e persons chosen t o supervise
tfte county expense became known
a s the town supervisors. We find in
t h e meetings of t h e r e p r e s e n t a tives of t h e towns to a p p o r t i o n t h e
c o u n t y expense t h e origin of our
p r e s e n t board ol supervisors. T h i s
s y s t e m of governing t h e c o u n t y by
ft board consisting of a r e p r e s e n t a t i v e f r o m e a c h town originated
Ifa New York, a n d is t h e most i m p o r t a n t distinguishing c h a r a c t e r istic of o u r local government. I t
Has continued since, substantially
u n c h a n g e d except t h a t r e p r e s e n t a t i o n h a s also been extended to
t h e cities.
Not until t h e Revolutionary W a r
did New York find a n o p p o r t u n i t y
t o e x t e n d t h e f u n c t i o n s of i t s c o u n ties. D u r i n g the W a r , t h e B r i t i s h
occupied New York City a n d t h e
a d j a c e n t areas. W i t h t h e p o r t s of
e n t r y in the h a n d s of t h e enemy
a n d t r a d e at a standstill, it was
n o t possible f o r t h e colonists to
finance t h e W a r by excise taxes.
Resort was, t h e r e f o r e , h a d to p r o p erty taxes.
T h e new S t a t e Legislature det e r m i n e d . f r o m time to time, t h e
a m o u n t of moneys necessary to
finance t h e W a r a n d apportioned
to each c o u n t y its share. T h e
b o a r d s of supervisors were r e quired to meet to allocate t o e a c h
town its portion of t h e county's
share.
T h e towns were directed t o select assessors to p r e p a r e t h e local
assessment rolls, a n d collectors
to collect t h e taxes. F o r convenience, t h e moneys to finance town
expenditures were collected s i m u l taneously a n d by t h e s a m e m e t h ods. T h i s consolidated system of
t a x a t i o n for county a n d town p u r poses h a s persisted in New York
ever since.
Cities Before Villages
W h e n our S t a t e g o v e r n m e n t was
first set u p in 1777, only two cities
—New York a n d Albany—existed.
Villages did not come into being

JERSEY LIGHTS Go On Again: State Highway Commissioner
Spencer Miller, Jr. announced that New Jersey's highways will soon
return to pre-war brilliance. Three thousand of the 13,000 safety lighting units along the highways were turned off for reasons of economy
when motor traffic was reduced far below normal. 167 of the 3,000
units have been turned on and the remainder gradually placed in
operation. The increase in vehicular traffic has made adequate illumination imperative.

One of the most i m p o r t a n t p r o jects will be a M i d - M a n h a t t a n
crosstown expressway, to c o n n e c t
t h e Queens Midtown T u n n e l with
t h e Lincoln Tunnel, a n d t h u s alleviate congestion of crosstown
traffic at one of t h e most crucial
points in t h e Borough. W h e t h e r
this shall be a n underpass, a n
overpass, or a combination of both,
is still being discussed. T h e cost
f a c t o r seems to m a k e a n u n d e r pass preferable.
T h e proposed H a r l e m River

projects. It is really a n o r t h e r l y
extension of the East River Drive.
T h e cost would probably be a r o u n d

Students of municipal governm e n t would be amazed a t t h e
mixed-up, helter-skelter methods
of purchase, supply and distribution in Towns throughout t h e
S t a t e of New York.

on its own, limited only by t h e
a m o u n t of money approved.
How is this approval obtained?

temporarily agitated taxpayers a t
t h e a n n u a l Town Budget m e e t ings; or sometimes (it must be
honestly, if regretfully admitted)
participants a t "packed" meetings; or by the "ayes" of axegrinding specialists whose presence and attention is directed to
some single budgetary item w i t h out regard for its effect on t h e
tax structure or the remainder of
t h e budget.
The town Budget meeting seems
t o hold little attraction for t h e
busy citizen who can't find time
to get out once a year to learn how
his money is being spent.
Once a budget h a s been a p proved, t h e department head can
use the money with virtually no
control save the limit of a m o u n t .
O f t e n his d e p a r t m e n t a l supplies

commissioners as required by s t a t ute, to spend as he sees fit.
There is still another official in
t h e Town whose expenditures are
subject to no audit or control and
whose order to pay upon t h e
Supervisor of the Town is a "direction to pay." He h a s the sole right
to determine purchases and is subject only to budgetary limitation
a n d the Highway Law. This is t h e
office of Superintendent of Highways. Every one of t h e 935
Towns in the State of New York
h a s this additional purchasing and
fiscal agency.
Because every municipality h a s
been tolerating the continued use
of obsolete equipment during w a r time a n d because t h e coming
peace will bring with it the necessity of huge expenditures for all
kinds of projects and equipment,
t h e subject of Town purchasing is
a m a t t e r of properly increasing i n terest.
Uniform System
W h a t are the possibilities of a
uniform, reasonably satisfactory
method of purchase a n d supply
for almost one thousand Towns in
New York State?
Is the answer to be found in t h e
creation of purchasing d e p a r t ments in every town in t h e State?
Resulting economies would, in my
opinion, be over-balanced by t h e
salary a n d d e p a r t m e n t a l cost. Also, unless legislative tenure were
provided,
political
retribution
might petrify the civic consciousness of h a m p e r e d and h a m s t r u n g
purchasing agents. At the present
time the key will not be found in
t h e "Town Purchasing D e p a r t ment."
Here Is Another Suggestion
Town Boards might reserve to
themselves by resolution and committee designation all m a t t e r s of
purchase and supply. The Town
Clerk or some comparable official
or employee could manage the Dep a r t m e n t of Supply upon a n a p proved requisition basis. A central
purchasing and supply d e p a r t m e n t would accomplish u n i f o r m ity of equipment, projection of
and execution of planned economies, and of course, centralization of supply. A complete countywide organization is f r a u g h t with
considerable possible benefits.
Central Committee
Or, if the Town Boards are overburdened with detail, the heads of
d e p a r t m e n t s could be constituted
a central purchasing committee
a n d a n operating group designated by them for the continuance and maintenance of the supply and purchase departments, all
without necessarily
increasing
personnel.
Possibly The Comptroller
Another possibility is to clothe
t h e present Town Comptroller in
each Town with sufficient legislative authority to enable him to act
as purchasing agent for t h e Town.
As such the Comptroller could a p prove requisitions for supply a n d
could reject a request prior to its
delivery. He would be subject to
Town Board regulation a n d t h e
extant legal remedies, including
removal for cause. Tenure protection would have to go along with
this authority. Today, the Comptroller who does exercise such controls is without civil service status.
This condition will need to be
changed.
This recommendation for a n
authoritative Comptroller m a y
seem to conflict with the currently
prevailing theory of divided a u thority and direct representative
Town Government. However, efficiency involves authority a n d a u thority presumes responsibility.
Good government is responsible

way maintenance, too, the "stitch
in time" policy will pay dividends.
Second: how contend with a condition where traffic has increased
in weight to the point where the
existing road is no longer capable
of successfully carrying it?
A new surface of appreciable
depth can be placed over the old
road and sufficient strength added
to permit the road to carry t h e
greater load efficiently. The p a t c h ing and other preliminary work
are necessary operations which
must be performed ahead of the
re-surfacing. The actual r e - s u r facing may be done in a number of
different ways. Usually a bituminous surfacing of from two to
three inches in depth is used. This
type of work can be done and
should be done now, not only because a war-time breakdown in
our highway system cannot be tolerated, but because we should not
risk serious financial loss through
negligence.

Fife Law Wrinkles
COUNTY, TOWN AND VILLAGE officials, in New York S t a t e
are still confronted by occasional
ticklish problems t h a t arise under
the Fite Law. This is t h e measure
which extended t h e civil service
provisions to the counties, towns,
villages and other local services.
Some knotty and perplexing questions have arisen, which with t h e
limited experience t h a t most of
the new commissions a n d a p p o i n t ing heads Lave h a d , are confusing
to say the least. Notwithstanding
this, the local commissions have
m e t their responsibilities and accomplished their tasks beyond t h e
most optimistic expectations.
Most of t h e credit for t h e "acceptability" of the new s e t - u p
(even though t h e Fite Law is obligatory) goes to the County Off*"cers Association a n d t h e Association of Towns. T h e officials of
these two organizations used their
good offices in "selling" t h e civil
service merit proposal to the local
governments and in acquainting
t h e m with the essential problems
t h a t arose under t h e Fite Law.
Also deserving of commendation
is the State Civil Service D e p a r t ment, which through it Municipal
Service Bureau guided the new
county commissions in organizing
their personnel agencies a n d assisting t h e m with their practical
problems. The training program
for civil service commissioners
a n d administrators sponsored a n d
directed under t h e joint leadership of the County Officers Association, the Association of Towns
and the State Civil Service Dep a r t m e n t , h a s proved highly successful.

ONE OF T H E QUESTIONS t h a t
often crops up i s : " W h a t employees
were covered in under t h e terms
of the Fite Law?" "Was it those
who h a d served for one year or
more prior to the adoption of t h e
Fite Law"? "Or those who h a d
served for one year prior to t h e
adoption of the civil service plan
by the Board of Supervisors p u r s u a n t to the Fite Law?" The latter
is t h e correct answer, bearing in
mind t h a t under the Fite Law all
of the counties h a d to adopt a civil
service plan n o t later t h a n July 1,
1943. In effect, therefore, any e m ployee of a county, town or village who h a d been in t h e service
on or before July 1,1942, and who
continued in the service a f t e r J u n e
30, 1942, was automatically covered into the service.
*
•
*
THE SECOND bothersome question is this: "Did all of the e m ployees serving the required one
year automatically fall in t h e
competitive class and become protected f r o m removal under t h e
terms of the general civil service
law"? T h e answer is "No." Only
those who were holding positions
which were not taken out of t h e
competitive class by express action
of the county commission, with
t h e approval of the State Civil
Service Department, remain in
t h e competitive class. I n other
words, unless a position h a d been
classified as exempt, n o n - c o m p e t itive or in the labor class, t h e i n cumbent was covered in as a competitive class employee with all
t h e rights and privileges accorded
to him.
for civilian goods a f t e r the war
cannot immediately be translated
into jobs. M a n u f a c t u r e r s will r e quire time to convert to normal
production. This period is- variously estimated to be f r o m six to
eighteen months. During this time
public works will be most necessary to provide extra jobs until
private plants are ready to take
over. Highway work can furnish
employment and at the same time
help to put our national t r a n s p o r tation sysytem into first class
condition.
I n c i d e n t a l ^ , much of the discussion on the subject of post-war
highways has been concerned with
large a n d elaborate projects in
congested areas. This type of construction is hardly the whole story.
There is a vast mileage of local
roads which require widening a n d
strengthening by re-surfacing.
There are also many local roads
which need improving to permit
the small producer of f a r m products to get to the main arteries
and thence to his market. It c a n not be forgotten t h a t the f a r m - t o market road, or "feeder" road, as
it is often termed, is of vast importance to millions upon millions
of Americans.

Public Works Head Clears Up Many
Points for CI's Returning to Their Jobs
ALBANY—Of widie interest to- all State employees engaged m military service is a letter from the FimlDiie Works
Department to Mr. Lee Clishman,. President oif the Association of New York State Highway Employees. The letter,
written for superintendent Charlies H. Sellis, by Henry A.
Cohen, Director of the DPW's Bureau of Contracts and
Accounts, quotes in detail decisions of the State's Attorney
General.
T h e gist of t h e l e t t e r :
"Concerning t h e statute of e m ployees who are engaged in Military service. You ask w h e t h e r or
not they will lose any rights, provileges or s t a n d i n g which m a y have
been theirs if they h a d not entered Military service. You inquire about sick leave a n d vacation without d i m i n u t i o n on. account of absence f r o m the D e p a r t m e n t to serve in t h e armed' f o r ces.
" R a t h e r t h a n add my observations to m u c h good m a t e r i a l t h a t

I prefer to suggest t h a t the- backg r o u n d of the subject m a t t e r of
your c o m m u n i c a t i o n is f o u n d in

" T h e whole spirit of bhe s t a t u t e
indicates t h a t its i n t e n t is Chat a

if bhey were not absent. T h e t h e ory is t h a t of d i s r e g a r d of t h e a b sence. If we bear this in m i n d

What's to Happen With

PROVISIONAL. TEMPORARY, GET S A M E
TREATMENT A S PERMANENT EMPLOYEES
ALBANY — M a n y New York State employees have been
wondering what use would be made of the $1,700,000 lumpsum appropriation in the current State Budget.
Clarification of that point came last week from Charles L.
Campbell, Administrative Director, State Civil Service Department. In a memo to "All State Appointing Officers", Mr.
Campbell said:
" S u b j e c t : Use of t h e $1,700,000
l u m p - s u m a p p r o p r i a t i o n in t h e
1944 Executive Budget.
" T h i s D e p a r t m e n t h a s been a d vised by t h e Director of t h e Budget
t h a t u n d e r an opinion of the Attorney General, d a t e d August 24. 1944,
t h e $1,700,000 l u m p - s u m a p p r o p r i ation u n d e r C h a p t e r 95 of t h e Laws
of 1944, m a y be used:
"1. T o supplement line-item a p p r o p r i a t i o n s for positions filled by
t e m p o r a r y a n d provisional employees who a r e p r o m o t e d to h i g h e r
overlapping F e l d - H a m i l t o n salary
ranges, a n d
"2. T o s u p p l e m e n t line-item a p p r o p r i a t i o n s f o r positions filled by
p e r m a n e n t employees who are a p pointed f r o m open-competitive lists
to higher overlapping F e l d - H a m i l -
ton Salary Ranges.
" I n accordance with t h e s t a t e m e n t of t h e Director of t h e B u d g e t ,
t e m p o r a r y a n d provisional a p pointees or promotees in h i g h e r
overlapping grades m a y receive
Ihe same salaries as p e r m a n e n t
imployees if they meet t h e s a m e
qualifications of p e r m a n e n t e m ployees u n d e r t h e provisions of
Section 41 of t h e Civil Service Law.
" I t should be noticed t h a t t h e
l u m p - s u m a p p r o p r i a t i o n of $1,700,000 is not applicable to accord t e m p o r a r y or p e r m a n e n t employees
a n n u a l salary i n c r e m e n t s .
"However, for every purpose t h a t
t h e s u m of $1,700,000 m a y be used
for t h e benefit of p e r m a n e n t e m ployees, it m a y be used for t h e
benefit of t e m p o r a r y employees."

Civil Service
Commission Seeks
Clerk-Typists
Approximately 100 vacancies for
clerical employees exist in t h e
New York Regional Office of t h e
United States Civil Service Commission.
James E. Rossell, Regional Director, stated t h a t those vacancies
must be filled at once. Most of
the positions are for Clerk-Typists,
who are needed because of t h e
change in emphasis in the Com*
mission's work caused by the e n actment of t h e Veterans' Prefer*
ence Act of 1944.
According to Mr. Rossell, the revision of the Civil Service procedure brought about by this Act
has materially increased the burden placed on his office and additional clerical workers are necessary to insure t h a t prompt and efficient service may be given both
to applicants for Federal employment and to various Federal agencies in New Jersey and New York.
Men and women who are interested in these positions should apply
at once at Room 662, Federal
Building, Christopher Street, New
York City. However, those now
employed in essential industry at
their highest skill should not a p ply.
