Rromotion-Without-Test Plan

By CHARLES SULLIVAN
WASHINGTON—Federal employees should stick to
their jobs. Don't get excited about the approaching peace
in Europe!. Your joB will last a long time—probably as
long as you want to stay. Despite all the talk you hear,

A proposal for automatic promotions without examination, which appeared on page 1 of last week's LEADER, has
aroused unusual discussion among employees and officials in
New York City's service.
T h e plan, which is already In
the f o r m of legislation, calls for
a change in t h e present type of
promotion. I n its stead would be
three types of promotion. T h e y
are:
1. Regular automatic promotions to employees who receive
satisfactory service ratings.
2. Accelerated promotions for
those who have m a i n t a i n e d exceptional service ratings.
3. Promotion by regular exa m i n a t i o n for those who have t h e
ability to advance more rapidly.
As presently worked out, t h e
project calls for f a r greater e m phasis on service ratings t h a n is
now the case.
Employees Pool Ideas
I n t h e D e p a r t m e n t of S a n i t a tion, a group of employees discussed t h e pros a n d cons of t h e
new plan, a n d sent a letter, via
the department's Chief Fiscal O f ficer, H a r r y Langdon, setting f o r t h
their reactions to t h e proposal.
T h e reactions sum up the conclusions a n d queries of employees in
all City depjartments. T h e letter:
"Your article in t h e September

State Civil Service Checking All Veteran

we can provide a clearing house
At t h e same time, however, 18
claims of disabled veterans of
World W a r 2 have been allowed
during t h e period, April to September 1. I n the same period t h e
department
allowed
disability
claims of five veterans of World
W a r 1.
Wide Variety of Jobs
Statistics compiled under t h e
direction of Miss Dorothy Smith,
secretary of t h e commission, r e veal t h a t the disability claims were
filed by candidates for a wide variety of positions. Examinations
for these jobs were conducted two
a n d three years ago a n d were
taken by t h e candidates before
those who participated in tWe present World Wai' wei-e called into
military service.
T h e Civil Service Commission,
it was revealed, is now engaged
in a series of discussions to determine just how the d e p a r t m e n t
can be of most assistance to the
returning war veterans. Recommendations, or at least an outline
of what the d e p a r t m e n t is a u t h o r ized to do a n d w h a t the law says
about veterans, a h e a d y have been
submitted to t h e S t a t e Veterans
Aid Commission headed by G e n eral Hugh Drum. Although t h e
Veterans Commission includes t h e
heads of nine other departments,
t h e president of t h e Civil Service
Commission for some inexplicable
reason was n o t included in t h e
statutory membership.
Don't Want to Shove Vet Around
"We want to set up some sort
pf machinery t h a t will obviate t h e
shoving around of any vetei-an",
said a high representative of t h e
d e p a r t m e n t . "We want to provide
specific a n d definite advice, assistance a n d recommendations to t h e
veteran, looking for a civil service
job", he added. "One of t h e worst
features following t h e last war
was t h e way the veterans were
pushed around in their que-st for
jobs. We don't want to tell a veteran t h a t h e is qualified for a cer-
and a speedy a n d sensible way of
connecting t h e veteran with t h e
job."
I t was evident t h a t t h e aspirations of this spokesman for t h e
d e p a r t m e n t will be unavailing u n less the d e p a r t m e n t gets t h e coqperation of t h e Governor a n d
t h e other departments. Appointing officers may be loathe to give
up any of their prerogatives in
the way of appointments and m a y
resist t h e channelling of positions
through civil service.
They Seek State Service
Figures f u r n i s h e d to T h e
LEADER by Miss S m i t h show the
rapidly increasing desire of disabled veterans to get into S t a t e
service. Under the S t a t e Constitution a disabled veteran automatically goes to t h e top of any
list for which he qualifies with a
passing m a r k . Tlie next Legislature will reconsider this year's
proposal
giving
all
veterans,
both disabled a n d non-disabled,
preference in civil service a p p o i n t ments. This proposed a m e n d m e n t
to the Constitution, vastly liberalizing veteran preference, t h e n
would be voted upon by t h e people
a t the election i n ' 1945.
Next
year is a mayoralty year i a New
York City, a n off-year upstate,
a n d hence political figures say
t h e r e is a strong possibility t h a t
t h e veteran proposal would be
adopted a n d become p a r t of t h e
Constitution.
Re-Checking Claims
I n justice to all, including t h e
truly disabled veterans, t h e Civil
Service D e p a r t m e n t is re-checking
claims of those who ask for p r e f erence on the basis of service connected disability. I t costs t h e dep a r t m e n t f r o m $5 to $20 to m a k e
these individual check ups, t h e
expense representing t h e fee of
those retained to do t h e examining. I n a t least a dozen cases it
was found by t h e d e p a r t m e n t ' s
examiners t h a t the claimant was
not suffering mental or physical
disabihty to the extent t h a t would
w a r r a n t the granting of disabled
veteran preference.
Miss Smith's report said:
"At the present moment, figures
indicate t h a t f r o m April 1, 1943
to M a r c h 31, 1944, a total of 39
claims were allowed veterans of
World W a r 1 and 5 claims were
allowed veterans of World War 2."

Mass Clerk Promotions from Clerk
Lists Expected in January and July
"There have been more promotions made during the
period of September 15, 1942 to July 1, 1944, than in any
comparable preceding period." This was the comment of
an official in the New York City Budget Office, in upholding his contention that promotions in recent years have
reached an all-time high. He made the statement during
the course of a discussion on prospective promotions for
employees who have passed the clerk grade 3 and the
clerk grade 4 examinations.
Here's t h e breakdown for t h a t
statement:
Clerk g r a d e 2 saw 867 p r o m o tions.
Clerk g r a d e 3 saw 148 p r o m o tions.
,
Clerk grade 4, 3 promotions.
Bookkeeper grade 1, 11 p r o m o tions.
J u n i o r a c c o u n t a n t , 55 p r o m o tions.
A c c o u n t a n t , 23 promotions.
S t e n o g r a p h e r gi'ade 2, 45 p r o motions.
S t e n o g r a p h e r g r a d e 3, 236 p r o motions.
Miscellaneous, 76 promotions.
T h a t gives a total of 1464 clerical p r o m o t i o n s in a period of one
year a n d 10 m o n t h s . This, a c ,cording to t h e Budget Office, r e p resents a very high r a n g e of p r o m o t i o n a l opportunities i n New
York City.
Grade S, 4 Promotions
As for t h e specific g r a d e 3 a n d
g r a d e 4 lists, mass p r o m o t i o n s a r e
n o t to be expected u n t i l J a n u a r y
a n d again in July, 1945.
However, if a p a r t i c u l a r vacancy
exists in t h e h i g h e r grade, it m a y
be filled a t t h e p r e s e n t time.
Also, provisionals currently h o l d ing jobs in t h e h i g h e r grades will
be repl>iced by persons f r o m t h e
lists.
A t h i r d case w h e r e a n employee
m a y expect promotion, is where
h e h a s been p e r f o r m i n g t h e work
of t h e h i g h e r title, b u t h a s done
so while r e m a i n i n g in t h e lower
grade. However, t h e d e p a r t m e n t
will h a v e to prove t h a t t h e wo^k
is actually t h a t of t h e h i g h e r
g r a d e before a n O K for t h e p r o m o t i o n s will come t h r o u g h .
A f o u r t h situation where p r o m o t i o n s m a y come t h r o u g h in i n dividual cases, is w h e r e a d e p a r t m e n t m a y f i n d itself with a n a c u t e
s h o r t a g e of clerks in t h e grade 3
a n d grade 4 categories.
B u d g e t View of P r o m o t i o n s
T h e Budget Director's Office
takes t h e view t h a t New York City
is m o r e liberal in its promotion
procedures t h a n m a n y employees
are willing to admit, a n d cites t h e
f i g u r e s quoted above to prove it.
I t goes f u r t h e r to say t h a t t h e
t r u e career service doesn't m e a n
t h a t merely " m a k i n g a list" c a r ries with it a promotion.
The
Budget O f f i c e m u s t t a k e a great
variety of f a c t o r s i n t o consideration before m a k i n g t h e promotion,
including (1) e f f e c t on t h e b u d g e t ;
(2) t h e d e p a r t m e n t ' s n e e d ; (3)
e f f e c t on t h e service as a whole—
it c a n ' t become topheavy w i t h e m ployees in t h e h i g h e r grades; (4)
t h e Mayor's view.
M a s s promotions twice a year,
says t h e Budget Office, is a s u perior system to t h e older one
where a n employee h a d t o w a i t
until somebody a h e a d of h i m
moved u p a n o t h e r step, retired, or
in some o t h e r m a n n e r "got out of
t h e way," before h e could hope t o

No m e m b e r of t h e Municipal
Civil Service Commission serves
with a n y of t h e committees, even
t h o u g h t h e Commission is directly
involved in t h e m a t t e r of service
ratings. T h i s absence h a s caused
speculation. T h e "official" r e a s o n
given is t h a t t h e g r o u p w a n t e d to
avoid being influenced by t h e
Commission.
Early m e e t i n g s of
t h e Service R a t i n g C o m m i t t e e r e vealed vast i g n o r a n c e on t h e p a r t
of t o p officials concerning t h e uses
a n d m e t h o d s of service r a t i n g s .
T h i s was n o t , however, u n u s u a l ,
since t h e subject is one u p o n
which few people h a v e a n y detailed knowledge.
All p r e s e n t
service r a t i n g systems h a v e in
t h e m a h u g e "subjective" element.
E a r l y a t t e m p t s by t h e C o m m i t t e e
to set u p a b e t t e r system resulted
in a series of r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s
which would h a v e proved m o r e
complicated t h a n t h e present s e t up. However, T h e LEADER u n d e r s t a n d s t h a t a p l a n is r e a d y for
p r e s e n t a t i o n to t h e entire comm i t t e e which is a drastic d e p a r t u r e f r o m t h e p r e s e n t setup.

Being c h a r t e r e d by t h e S u p r e m e Court of
B r u s h l a n d , County of Muggs a n d attested to by
t h e B e a r d s of t h e Prophets, they a r e officially known as "26 T r u c k
Brigade".
T h e Bristle Brigade is r e l u c t a n t to c o m m e n t upon this " h a i r y "
s i t u a t i o n . However, some speculation h a s arisen, such a s : " I s
t h e r e a n y insidious political significance, as Dewey s y m p a t h i z i n g ? "
[Dewey also h a s a moustache. R e m e m b e r ? ! "Could t h e r e be exp e r i m e n t a t i o n as to who is boss a t h o m e , " a n d "Could it be," say
some of t h e boys, " t h a t since t h e Fire D e p a r t m e n t h a s of r e c e n t

look like t h e 1890 fire laddies, with their flourishing h a n d l e - b a r s . "
Off t h e record, it h a s been learned, t h a t t h e r e is a little conf i d e n t i a l bet on a m o n g t h e boys, t h a t will result in a joyous bit of
"socializing." S o r r y we c a n ' t tell you m o r e about t h a t bet. Of

it, and see how it would work out in practice, before undertaking to praise or condemn it. The major consideration
was: Would it help win the war?
By last week, we had the facts. We wpre ready to
say, and we did say editorially, that the 54-hour week
had proven a failure in practice, that it had not increased
output, and that is should therefore be abandoned.
We are pleased to see that General Somervell, head
of Army Service Forces, is not insistent on hanging on to
an experiment that didn't pan out.
The Custodial
Mess
Must Be Cleaned Up
T WAS four years ago that The LEADER advocated
straight civil servico as the only way of cleaning up
ciistodial mess in New York City's Board of I^ducation.
What was so obvious to us then, has had to be made
obvious to the City's officials by being banged into thenheads by the courts. Suddenly, the Board of Education,
after being told by the courts that the system of custodial
employment is outmoded, agrees with sanctimonious gestures to do something about it. They'll put the custodial
helpers in a single school under civil service, "as an
experiment." What kind of an experiment is this? Have
we suddenly forgotten how civil"service works?
Let the Board immediately order civil service for the
entire'custodial staff of the City. Let civil service procedure begin to work for all. Only in this way will the
custodial staff be released from conditions of work that
more than one authority has described as slavery.

NYC Employees Need
A Training Plan
t a t i m e when private industry, the States, and the
Federal government are giving ever more attention
to the desirability of training employees. New York
City has thrown its training program overboard.
Let us admit that the program could have been better.
Y^ou don't kill a man to reform him. What New York
City's Training Bureau needed was not to be scrapped,
but to be modernized. Th^re are a number of excellent
educators who are capable of doing the job. The City
should give quick consideration to the re-establishment oi
a fii-st-class training bureau.
Tough industrialists have found that education pays
ofl". The War Department found the same thing. So will
New York City.
We hear rumors that the authorities are not adamant
about training, that they will do something about it. We
hope these rumors are true, and that when something is
done, it will be in full realization of the value of a thoroughgoing program. If we once again get a piddling
penny-pinching training setup, it will end up where the
first one did.

liiteriial Revenue
Supervisors Coiideiniied
Sirs: You r u n a column for
"Vets". Would it be possible to
run a similar column for Internal
Revenue in the Bronx?
The conditions existing in that
agency are abominable. There is
a great turn-over in personnel,
and not without reason.
Supervisors have their favorites.
Another trouble is t h a t there are
no uniform rules throughout the
agency. Each floor has its own
rules. Some holidays, people on
one floor have an extra 15 minutes for lunch; another only 5
minutes.
It is doubtful that supervisors
were told to hound employees; the
men in charge of the office seem
very human. Supervisors should
remember t h a t they, too, were
once clerks.
Most of us know and realize
t h a t there is a job to be done, and
we've been doing it. We have
worked hard and conscientiously
throughout the hot summer with
no vacation and no increases. Yet
ftH we can expect when the war is
over is a nice letter saying "ser-
vices no longer required.**
If clerks are really so hard to
get, why don't they treat the ones
they have a little better and give
them an incentive to work there?

ing a travesty of the merit system

City and State employees are
contributing their share to the
war effort by sticking to their
fixed-salaried but vital jobs and
taking It on the chin economically,
and it Is proposed to reward them
for their unselfish service by denying them the opportunity of promotion in the post-war period. All
sorts of schemes are being proposed and seriously discussed
which would help the veterans,
the discharged war workers, and
others, but nobody seems to

POLICE CALLS
i
Police Pensions—
The Old and the New
We've had a number of requests
recently to describe, in simple
terms, the background of the two
Police pension systems
Here it is:
Young men in the Police Department (those who came into
the force since April 1940) think
t h a t they have a powerful "beef"
against the older members.
W h a t galls them is the fact
t h a t there are two entirely different pension plans for the Police
Department uniformed men. Plan
number 1, which includes the oldtimers, calls for a salary contribution of 5 percent for retirement
after 25 years; a 6 percent contribution for 20 year retirement.
But by 1939, the City found itself paying out four or five million
dollars each year to make up the
deficit in the Police Pension f u n d .
The City didn't like t h a t setup
and. in effect, the Mayor gave
this ultimatum to the cops: "Either
you play ball and help figure out
a new pension plan, or you'll be
put on a pay-for-it-yourself basis."
Possibly with the idea that selfpreservation is the first law of
nature, the PEA was quick to give
Its approval to what became Pension Plan Number 2rwhich was to
apply to men coming into the force
of these times!
Because of the fact t h a t it
grants an absolute preference to
all veterans of any war and because of the great number of veterans who are now in civil service or who will be in civil service
after the war, this bill will just
about wreck the merit system.
Personnel standards, which have
been raised slowly over a long
period of years, will be flattened;
great inefficiency will result;
thousands of experienced workers,
denied any real opportunity to
improve themselves via promotion,
will be discontented and l)itter.
The Federal Government h a s
passed a wiser and more just preference law to benefit the veterans
of this war without riding roughshod over the rights of civil servants.
The best way to combat this
proposal is to offer a substitute
which would treat both veterans
and employees with justice. Such
a bill should exclude veterans of
other wars, who have already received generous treatment in the
matter of jobs and preference; it
erence graded according to length
should provide some kind of prefof service in the armed forces,
decorations received, additional
credit for overseas service, etc.; at
the same time, the preference
should not be so great as to provide an impossible barrier to nonveterans. Disabled veterans should
get absolute preference, but should
be restricted to jobs where" their
physical disability would not be a
source of danger to other employees or to the public; some jobs
could be set aside entirely for dis-
in the future.
At a general PBA ballotihK
held 01. November 27. 1939 t h e
members approved the proposed
plan by a vote of 12,321 out of
a total of 13,340.
The New Plan
^
Under the new plan, the r a t e
of salary contribution is graduated
according the age of the new p a t rolman, and the retirement option
he picks. Top contribution coniw
up to 18.35 percent of each p a y check for a new cop of 21, who
wants to retire a f t e r 20 years, a n d
also t a k e a d v a n t a g e of the
Widow's and Orphan's benefits.
This plan was sealed by a local
law, passed by the City Council on
J a n u a r y 30, 1940, and went into
effect on April 1 of t h a t year. ;
At the time, the higher pension
rates didn't seem so drastic, a n d
the oldsters possibly didn't feel
that they were putting too heavy
a burden on future members ,of
the force.
But then along came the high
cost of living, and the 20 percent
withholding tax, and there's t h e
rub.
The pe,nsion setup constitutes
one of the basic 'gripes" of t h e
younger men on the force. Before
the $420 went into effect, many
of them said openly they just
couldn't make a living on their
salaries.

Unless some action is tal^en
to protect the promotion rights
of civil service workers, many of
them will be obliged to protect
themselves by resignation and entry into the armed forces in or(\er
to obtain veteran status.

The problem of veteran preference in New York State is by no
means settled. The LEADER has

a p p r o x i m a t e l y 12,000 employees

T h e new r a n g e s a n n o u n c e d s u d denly last week, follow upon a
strong c a m p a i g n by t h e Association of S t a t e Civil Service E m ployees to raise t h e living s t a n d a r d s of institutional employees
to a point where t h e y would be
more in line with w a r t i m e prices.
While expressing gratification
that
the
State,
after
long
delays, h a d g r a n t e d t h e raises, a n
Association s p o k e s m a n ..dded:
" I n a n u m b e r of cases t h e r e allocations are lower t h a n those
sought by t h e employees a n d s u p ported by t h e Association. T h e
Association will continue to b a t -
tie for t h e large u m b e r of e m ployees who deserve h i g h e r s a l ;
aries a n d whose claims t h e Association sponsored, but who h a v e
not yet been f a v o r a b l y recognized by t h e board. Also t h e Association believes t h a t t h e new
salaries approved by t h e board
should t a k e effect n o t later t h a n
October 1, 1944. I t finds n o j u s t i flication
f o r withholding effectiveness of t h e corrected r a t e s
until April, 1945. I t is a p p a r e n t
t h a t t h e activity of employees
m u s t continue u n t i l all workers
are adequately paid. O n e b a t t l e

Surplus War Property—Local Government W o e
By ALBERT PLEYDELL
Commissioner of Purchase, City of New York
Local government approaches
t h e post-war period with its
physical plant r u n down a n d
worn
out.
Even
critical
facilities have not been m a i n tained properly because of t h e
inability to obtain needed supplies, materials and equipment.
I t faces a much more serious
problem of repair, obsolescence,
a n d deferred construction in t h e
post-wat period t h a n it did d u r ing the depression.
Rising prices have made it necessary for local government to
continue spending at pre-war
rates for diminished war-time
quantities. Federal financial aid
will be necessary to help pay for
local government's new public
works projects Intended to absorb t h e post-war unemployed.
Of more immediate concern, is
t h e necessity for rebuilding and
revitalizing the physical plant—
now with supplies, materials,
a n d equipment no longer necessary in the war effort. Not
federal aid In money, but aid in
kind, Is needed, because the run

"Gentlemen:

of Rome's watershed, supplying
water for the citizens of Rome;
Opening up of several streets to

civilian population.
Wise Distribution Needed
The wise distribution of surplus war property as it becomes
avaiable can make local government a greater asset to t h e postwar economy. Wise distribution
requires: (1) Establishment of
proper administrative machinery
in t h e Surplus W a r Property Administration to enable effective
coordination of t h e requirements
of states, political subdivisions
of States, tax-supported institutions, and other public agencies;
and effective centralization of
actual disposal to such agencies;
(2) Priority in t h e disposition of
surplus property, a f t e r t h e needs
of t h e federal agencies have been
cared for, to public agencies; (3)
Delivery for use, under appropiate safeguards, to local government.
Baruch Recommended
This is not a new idea. T h e

Public Agencies Have Hard Time
This was common sense a d vice when Messrs. B a r u c h a n d
Hancock gave it; it Is still common sense. I t h a s been followed
by t h e government's disposal
agencies. Although t h e present
practices of some of t h e disposal agencies .allegedly give
property to non-federal public
agencies, t h e f a c t Is t h a t it is
practically impossible for public agences to acquire surpluses

T h e r e h a s been no organized

T h e r e is no unified plan for

t h e open m a r k e t for t h e same or
similar items.
Price DifTerential
T h e prices established by t h e
federal disposal agencies are
based upon war-inflated costs.
T h e real differential is greater
t h a n appears on t h e surface because the prices are f. o. b. shippping point whereas governmental
agencies usually buy f. o. b. delivery point.
T h e present system of selling
surpluses places local governm e n t in competition with j u n k
dealers a n d speculators.
This
Is grossly u n f a i r to local t a x payers who have already paid
once for these surpluses.
If
there is to be any profit m a d e
on t h e disposal of t h e surpluses,
tha,t profit should be made by
t h e taxpayers and not t h e j u n k
dealers .
T h e Senate recognized t h a t
local government requires special
consideration when it passed
Senate Bill 2065. This measure
provides f o r t h e donation of
surplus educational and medical
supplies and equipment. I t also
provides f o r t h e determination
of t h e needs of local government

agencies on available surpluses.
T h e companion bill passed by t h e
House gives no recognition w h a t soever to t h e needs of local gove r n m e n t f o r t h e war surpluses.
T h e two bills are now in committee
If a m a j o r scandal is to be
avoided, Congress must provide

obtain war surpluses via speculators a n d j u n k dealers.
VfaterMain Systems—Ills and Remedies
By C. L. WRIGHT
Not so many years ago, t h e mere
suggestion t h a t a city's water
mains were incrusted with iron
or other foreign material affecting water or the carrying capacity
of the lines was oftentimes scoffed
at by water works operators.
Today water department supervisors and engineers, with very few
exceptions, are well aware t h a t
This Is one type of wafer-propelled scraper for cleaning mains.
mains lose their effectiveness in
service. They ai'e constantly on
the alert for signs of incrustation
or growth in the mains. They
know t h a t reduced capacity of
mains means increased flre hazards, less flow and pressure in
consumers' lines and increased
operating costs.
Water characteristics vary
greatly in different p a r t s of the
United States—being soft or hard,
active or inactive—and with very
different effects on the interior of
also those who have served in
the armed forces of the United
States. It is hoped and planned
t h a t every person serving in the
armed forces will be able to pick
up their former position of occupation when they return.
"We are in accord with the idea
of a publication providing an exchange of ideas between officials
and municipalities especially at
this time when most every city

water mains. I n many instances
chemical t r e a t m e n t of raw water
pievents or retards corrosion. B u t
regardless of diameter and w h e t h er the pipe iJ of steel or cast iron,
water mains carrying active water
will often be reduced in carrying
capacity by corrosion because of
chemical action. Loss of capacity
m a y also be caused by incrustation or silting. Most lines now in
service are tar-coated or dipped
a n d suffer corrosive action, since
these coatings deteriorate. Pipe
coatings now in use will r e t a r d
chemical action. Cement linings,
also a more or less recent development, effectively prevent corrosion.
Types of Cleaning
Incrustations, growths and silt
can be removed and capacities restored by mechanical or by chemical cleaning methods. So f a r , t h e
so-called "inhibited acids" for
chemical cleaning are not generally used.
Mechanical cleaning can be ac-
pelled scrapers cannot be used, a
cable is passed though t h e m a i n ,
the ;^raping unit attached and i n serted into the line, t h e water is
turned on and t h e machine pulled
through by m e a n s of a windlass.
A certain amount of water is a l lowed to pass t h e scraping unit
in order to carry ahead of it t h e
dirt and incrustations which have
been cut f r o m the pipelining a n d
ground up by t h e scraper. T h e
water and sediment and cleanings
are carried to the street surface
through a riser pipe. W h e n t h e opeation is completed the water ia
shut off, t h e riser pipe removed
a n d the main a t t h a t point reconnected.
T h e total time required for s h u t off of water in any district is five
to seven hours. I n a n emergency
the pipe can be temporarily made
up and service quickly resumed. I n
business districts the work is often
done at night.

complished by forcing a scraping
unit through the pipe, dragging
the scraper through by cable and
winch or using the water itself to
force the unit through the pipe.
Or it can be done by means
known as use of revolving rods and
centrifugal knoqkers. T h e effectiveness of the latter method depends upon the integrity of the
operator.
T h e mechanical method of
cleaning requires t h a t the pipe "be
opened in two places — for entrance and exit of the scraping
unit. After the scraper is inserted
the pipe is m a d e up and the water
turned on to the proper pressure
and volume to give the scraper the
required rate of travel through t h e
main. In cases where water-pro-

and volume for fire fighting must
be met it is often found t h a t the
existing mains, if cleaned, would
be adequate. T h e city or town can
be saved large expenditures by
adopting a water main cleaning
program since the costs for labor
and materials necessary for such
a program are but a small f r a c tion of those for replacing mains,
even though it might be necessary
to reclean the lines at intervals to
maintain needed capacities.
To summarize: the cleaning of
water mains insures—
1—Greater carrying capacity
2—Lower pumping costs
3—Improved pressure
4—Cleaner water
5—Lower insurance rates.

of J a p a n , there will be some increase in works construction on
all three levels city, state and
federal, but the real spurt will
come after the Rising Sun sets.
Now as the war apparently approaches a climax, there is every
reason to believe t h a t increased
revenue will come from new business along streets and highways

cidents for 1942 occured between
6 p. m. and midnight and 75
per cent between 6 p. m. and
6 a. m.
Good Lighiine: Helps
Before the war, such early
prophets of a l>etter day for
properly lighted streets as the
City of Detroit, a f t e r innovating
modernized lighting on certain
main throughfares, where the
accident rate h a d been extraordinarily
high,
reduced
dusk-to-dawn fatalities m o r e
t h a n 83 per cent on those streets.
Then came the war.
Such
phrases as "staggered hours" and
"multi-shift operations" became
as much a part of the new lexicon as Harry James' "sweet
trumpliet" and Frank Sinatra's
"bobby socks brigade."
War plants sprung up overnight.
In increasing numbers
war workers and soldiers became more and more exposed
to night traffic hazard."?: The
general public, despite driving
curtailment, was not immune.
Then came the dimouts, blackouts and brownouts, bringing
home to the people their dependence on visibility for safety
both on and off the job.
Poor Lighting and Crime
As some cities "economized"
on their street lighting, petty
thefts, attacks and juvenile delinquency leaped like the barometer after the Oklahoma tornado.
Poor lighting set the stage
when one Wisconsin city, for example, decided to save $3,200 a
which are adequately lighted,
new communities established and
a subsequent increase in all
modes of passenger and commercial traffic.
Further emphasis will result from new designs in street, road and automobile construction.
Axiomatically t h e new tempo of speed will
demand new safety measures,
prominent among which will be
proper luminaires.
The new
lighting will mean new business
revenue f a r in excess of lighting costs plus other financial,
moral and civic dividends
A reasonable postwar expectation will be t h a t when the increased revenue as a result of
lighting exceeds lighting costs
there is a net cash profit in
addition to the profits* in saved
life, limb and property.
Would Create Work
To paraphrase A. M. Foster,
business analyst: "Street and
highway intallations would create
work. Thousands of men would
be needed for installing, hundreds needed for maintenance
and more thousands of gasoline
station
operators,
restaurant
help, street and roadside owners
and innumerable others would be
given jobs because of it .
- "There is one of the interesting things about lighting highways as well as hitherto dark
streets: Where it is used, traffic
increases by leaps and bounds
and, as traffic, increases so does
the demand for more and better
service."
What Public Servants Can
Offer Private Industry
By GERTRUDE MAGILL RUSKIN, LL.B., M.P.A.
Never in the history of this
country h a s the impact of Government control and regulation
on private industry been so great
as it has in the past few years.
Most businessmen, watching insurmountable piles of regulations gathering on their desks,
have taken refuge in the services
of consultants—lawyers, accountants, tax counsel, and others.
More published services, interpreting every government regulation and order known to man,
have been purchased by men in
private industry in the last few
years t h a n ever before.
Must Call in Experts
I n effect, however, this frenzied
activity is little more t h a n a
stop-gap. For the businessman
must .recognize t h a t the oaly way
i n whluh to
witli th9 prob-
A QUERY frequently raised by
town and county officials in New
York State is:
"May a county civil service
commission reclassify a position as exempt or non-competitive
a f t e r it had classified the position
as competitive either by express
action or by failing to change Ita
classification originally"? A commission may reclassify a position
at any time, with the approval of
the State Civil Service Department, provided the action of the
Commission conforms with the
constitutional requirement of examination wherever practicable.
For example, suppose the county
commission originally believed
t h a t the post of village clerk properly belonged in the competitive
class. Later the commission finds
t h a t competitive examination is
not practicable for filling the position. The commission with the a p proval of the State Civil Service
Commission could then reclassify
the position as non-competitive if
a qualifying examination is practicable or in the exempt class if
no examination is practicable a t
all.
The author of this article
has sat on both sides of the
desk as business executive in
private industry and as public administrator. There is
profitable food for thouffht
in the thesis "Public Administration in Private Industry."
lem of government control and
regulation is to call into service
experts in public administration
as well as experts in taxes, law,
and accounting.
For many years, public administration has been developing as
a scientific technique of government.
But there is still, after all
these years, a fleld in which the
value of public administration

"HAS THE COMMISSION authority to fix t h e salary of any
employee '? This question pops up
over and over again. The question
arises from the authority of the
commission to fix the minima
and maxima salary grades of positions. This does not, however,
give the commission power to fix
the salary of any employee. The
power to fix the salary of any employee is vested in the head of dep a r t m e n t subject to control by the
fiscal authorities.
By grading of positions the commission may prevent a n employee
from being paid a salary beyond
the maximum of t h e grade of his
position. The commission would
requiie the holding of a promotion
examination for filling the higher
grade position. Beyond this, the
commission h a s no authority to fix
the salai'y of any employee within
its jurisdiction other t h a n employees on its own staff.
*

"TO WHAT EXTENT may employees now covered by the Fite
Law engage in political activity"?
The civil servce law does not prohibit any one from engaging in
political activity. The law does
prohibit any officer or employee
from soliciting or collecting political campaign contributions from
employees in the service. This applies t o all classes of employees,
whether competitive, exempt, labor. etc., as well as elective and
appointive heads of departments.
These are only a few of the
problems t h a t ha^e "confounded"
our local administrators. There
are many others still worrying
them. No wonder they are still
sitting at tlieir desks with furrowed brows scratching their heads.
and unrecognized. I t is the field
of private industry. I am indulging in no Chestertonian p a r a doxes when I say t h a t the relationship between public administration and private industry is
a very intimate one and t h a t it
is an area which has been neglected not only by business
but also by leaders in the field
of public administration.
Science of Government
But I do believe t h a t it is not
enough to read a regulation and
determine what one's rights aLd
responsibilities are under it. I n
my opinion, the problem is more
far-reaching in t h a t it involves
a knowledge of the science of
government. Such knowledge includes understanding of governmental functions, of the attitude
of government personnel, of the
objectives sought by the government agency i^jsuing the regulations, of the structure of such
agencies, and last but by f a r
most important, understanding
of what it is t h a t the government agency expects to get from
private industry in the way of
performance and information.
This knowledge and understanding cannot be secured merely by reading the regulations
and interpreting them. It comes
only from direct experience in
a government agency or intensive, scientific study of public administration.
The trial and
error method may, a f t e r long
and painful use result in the
necessary understanding.
