etting Better Every Day
WASHINGTON—Chances of Federal employees geting a raise soon are looking better every day.
Latest advance in the raise sector is an announceent by Ohio Senator Harold Burton, ranking Republican
ember of the Senate Civil Service Committee, that he
"^ould ask for a complete review of the whole Federal
^ a g e situation.
He said Congress would be forced
t o do something to help t h e Goviment employee before expiraDH of t h e W a r Overtime Pay Act

Salaries Up To P a r
Rep. Ramspeck said t h a t in lieu
of a relaxation of t h e "Little
Steel" formula Congress could
bring t h e salaries of Federal workers up to a p a r with employees
in private industry. He said t h a t
even if there was no change in
the formula, Federal employees
should get more money.
Sen. Downey was even more
generous in annoimcing his aims.
He stated flatly t h a t when Congress reconvenes a f t e r elections
h e would ask for a blanket 15 per
cent raise for government workers,
90-day severance pay, a n d t r u e
time and one half pay for all overtime work. He said h e wanted

Yfhat Opporfunifies Will There Be

Federal employees, with their
minds on post-war working conditions, would like changes In their
lunch periods and working hours.
T h e h a l f - h o u r luneh period is
unpopular with t h e workers, who
find t h a t t h e scramble for lunch

As to working hours: Before

NYC Civil Service Outlines Steps a Vet
Must TakeBe fore Getting His Job Back
DEMANDS REASONS FOR EVERY SERVICE DISCHARGE
By FRANCIS KELLT
Of interest to every New York City employee, and
those on eligible lists, serving in the armed forces, is the
recent action of the NYC Civil Service Commission, which
set up procedures to handle returning service men.
To protect their righte, veterans
should call at the office of the
Commission, 299 Broadway, M a n h a t t a n , within 60 days of their
discharge from service.
The m a j o r points of the Commission's actions are these:
from the armed forces should report to the Commission within 60
days of his reinstatement to his
position. An employee who reports
a f t e r the 60-day period, is not
eligible to compete In any promotion examination h e may have
missed because of military service.
The Service Rating Bureau checks
the person's eligibility. If he is
eligible, the Service Rating B u r eau will issue a n application to
him. The applicant shall fill in
t h e application form and file it
with the Service Rating Bureau
at t h a t time. The applicant may
also be required to sign a register
in the Service Rating Buerau.
the eligible does not have evidence
of the reason for his discharge,
h e will be requested to sign a release so t h a t the proper authorities will forward the facts a n d diagnosis relating to his discharge.
If It is determined t h a t the eligible was released because of a
physical disability, a n appointment will be made with the medical examiner of the Commission
to check whether he will be able
to perform the duties of the position. If, on the other hand, t h e
release was for mental resisons, a n
appointment will be made with the
Commission's psychlatirist. The
doctor or psychiatrist, on completion of his examinations, will send
his findings and recommendations
to the Investigation Bureau. T h e
Investigation Bureau shall send
a report to the Commission for its
Calendar and notify the Certification Bureau- whether or not the eligible is qualified.
Riggers Stoy
On Job. But
At Less Money
This is the finale to the story
of the two riggere in the NYC Dep a r t m e n t of Housing and Buildings who first were granted a n
Increase to $12.56 a day by t h e
Comptroller's Office, t h a n faced
dismissal by their department because the budget appropriation
for their jobs would only allow
them to work four days a week
at the new rate of pay. (They were
carried in the budget at $2,280 a
year.)
Last week, a compromise was
worked out. The men will work
five and a half days a week. They
will earn $3,000 a year, which is
less t h a n they should be getting
a t the rate of $12.56 a day, but
they've accepted the offer to keep
their jobs.
Certificate of Disibildy Discharge
or Convenience of Government
Discharge
If the veteran is released with
a C.D.D. or for the Convenience
of the Government, his n a m e shall
be restored to the list subject to
medical investigation. The Certification Bureau is to withhold
such names from certification u n til appropriate action h a s been
taken by the Commission. If the

Why Public Employees Borrow Money
Every year, the Municipal Credit Union in New York
City lends about $4,000,000 to City, State and County employees. These employees are allowed to borrow up to
$3,500—^though the great majority of the loans are for
smaller amounts—and the reasons why these public workers come to borrow makes interesting reading.

Ttie0<liiy, Octo1i«r 1 7 ,
Sen. Wagner, Cunan Fight It Out On Civil Serv/cl
Repeat This!
The Civil Service LEADER this weeic reiinquishes most of its usual editorial page
features to provide an opportunity for the
two candidates for United States S e n a t e Sen. Robert F.- Wagner and Thomas J.
Curran—to present their views on currei
issues affecting civil employees. The m<
terial is presented just as received froi
the candidates. The articles were writtei
exclusively for The LEADER.
By Robert F. Wagner
United States Senator, State of New York
Democratic and ALP Candidate for Re-election
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES
—it's important that yoU
know this! Til tell you
frankly what I think. I
think that civil service
workers are Americans,
not "bureaucrats." They
should be treated as good,
patriotic human beings, not
pushed around as ' Mr.
Bricker and other Republicans are doing.
Politics, Inc.
Want a couple of items about
the debators on our
editorial
page.this week? O. K,, . . Few
people know how close was the
life-long
friendship
between
Senator Robert F. Wagner and
Al Smith.
In fact,
Wagner's
signature witnessed the will of
Mrs. S7nith. , . .
LaGuardia
scheduled
to come out
for
Wagner this week. . . . Political
think-boys
are figuring that it
will be possible for Tom Curran to emerge a bigger
man
than
his boss Tom
Dewey.
Here's the mental cogitation on
this. If New York State goes
GOP in the election, and i f .
nevertheless,
Dewey loses the
nation, but Curran wins the
Senatorship,
then Curran will
be in for a 6-year term on a
job whose prestige is at least
the equal of the
Governorshij^
And as it looks now. with NY
State
a d£ad-heat
between
FDR and Dewey, it could happen that Curran might
win,
Dewey lose. What's more, the
Governorship fight comes up in
two years, and Dewey would
have another big battle on his
hands, while Curran would be
safely ensconced in
Washington as Senator.
And if (this
complicated
argument
continues) . Dewey were to lose the
Presidential
election and then
lose the gubernatorial
election
too, Tom Curran emerges as
top Republican
in the
entire
State.
Whew!
Don't
repeat
this! . . . Senator Ball's friends
are telling him that if he handles himself right, he can ultimately fill Willkie's shoes. The
pressure in his State for him to
endorse Dewey is
tremendous,
but his friends say he's an oldtime idealist and won't endorse
the New Yorker
unless
hes
completely convinced about the
Governor's stand on foreign relations. Ball's enemies say he s
just a smart politician. Ball is
a Stassen man. So, say Ball s
detractors, the Minnesota
Senator figures that if Dewey wins.
Stassen will never be president.
If Dewey loses, they claim Ball
feels that Stassen is a cinch to
clinch the '48 nomination.

directives that come down from
the White House are often
written by Arthur S. Flemming,
U. S. Civil Service Commissioner. Flemming is a friend of
Tom Dewey's and if Dewey
should win the Presidency,
Flemming would probably continue doing the same thmg.
He would also become top man
in the ^Federal Commission, a
post now held by Harry B. Mitchell. Incidentally, when Dewey
was searching for a man to
head the New York State Civil
Service Commission, he offered
the job to Flemming, who iwreferred to stoy in Washington.
. . . When Tom Dewey left a«
Manhattan District Attorney,
he gave his assistants autographed photos. Inscribed in
three different manners: . To
those toward whom Dewey felt
lukewarm, he wrote "With personal regards"; those toward
whom he had a warmer feeling received "With warm personal regards"; and those who
held his special affection were

Everyone knows t h a t Government—Federal, S t a t e
and
local—will play a highly i m p o r t a n t role in planning a n d
maintaining
prosperity
and
peace. B u t too m a n y people
seem to think of G o v e r n m e n t

in t e r m s of t h e patriotic h a r d working mailmen, teachers, i n spectors, clerksi, firemen, a t If. S . Senator

tendants, policemen, a n d all
t h e other civil employees who carry out the daily tasks of public
administration. I t is my conviction t h a t no post-war planning c a n
be effective without a vigorous a n d constantly-improving civil
service.
Always Fought for Merit System
All my life I have fought f o r the extension of the merit system.
I have always opposed those who, for one excuse or another, have
a t t e m p t e d to exempt special positions or special agencies f r o m civil
service requirements.
,
I have always maintained t h a t Government employment should
offer full opportunities for individual advancement on a merit basis.
T h a t is t h e only way to encourage a n d develop the initiative a n d
imagination t h a t are needed for t h e successful solution of America's
post-war problems.
Higher Salary Levels NeededD
T h e first m e a n s of achieving this objective is more adequate
salary levels, all up and down the line, but particularly in the lower
categories. I n this connection, only a few m o n t h s ago, m y colleague,
Senator Mead, introduced legislation in C o n f e s s for a p e r m a n e n t
increase in t h e basic salaries of postal employees. T o g e t h e r with
Senator Mead, I actively supported this measure before the S e n a t e
Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. This is only one of t h e
m a n y things we have done—and will continue to do—for all public
employees.
The second is a tully-developed system of pay raises and promotions from within.
Special Rewards for Special Performance
T h e third is a system of special rewards or bonuses for outstanding performance or for particularly constructive suggestions.
T h i s h a s recently been developed in the Federal service. I t should
be widely extended to S t a t e and local government as well. I propose
t h a t all agencies of Government be required to solicit advice f r o m
their employees upon means of improving efficiency a n d t h a t
employee suggestions be carefully studied by committees on which
t h e employees themselves are represented.
Unemployment Insurance Imperative
Above all, t h e provision of unemployment insurance for Government workers is imperative. A sound civil service structure
demands t h a t the employees of government be given the same
protection t h a t h a s long been provided for the employees of private
industry.
W h e n I first introduced the Social Security Act, and guided it
to enactment in Washington, it h a d been my hope t h a t Federal
workers would be covered by unemployment insurance. Since then,
I have never faltered in my efforts to give t h e m this coverage.
Today, m a n y public employees are pessimistic about the chances
of obtaining unemployment insurance. I can well understand why.
They have seen the Republicans in the House of Representatives
kill this protection for Federal employees by a 2 to 1 vote. They have
seen the Republican Administration of New York State hold u p
action on various bills t h a t h a d been submitted to provide u n e m ployment protection for S t a t e and municipal employees.
Yet there is no cause for pessimism. We can obtain unemploym e n t compensation for public employees—and obtain it during t h e
coming year.
We can improve salary scales and promotion plans and develop
better incentives to increased efficiency—and we can do It d u r ing the coming year.
What the Democrats Did
All these things can be done if t h e civil employees remember
t h a t their welfare is in issue in the coming election. Every vote for
t h e Democratic administration will be a vote for continued progress
in improving the Civil Service. The public employees—Federal,
State, and municipal—of New York State will remember it was
under the Democratic Administrations of Al Smith, Governor
Roosevelt, and Governor Lehman t h a t their greatest progress was
made.
What the GOP Didn't Do in the State
I t is disappointing to the friends of the merit system to note
a tendency in Governor Dewey's administration to break down t h e
merit system by failure to respect the basic requirements of open
competition for jobs; failure to a d j u s t salaries of the employees
in State institutions; failure to enact unemployment insurance a n d
other aids; a t t a c k upon t h e Feld-Hamilton law, which is one of
the best protections civil service employees have In any State—a
law enacted during a Democratic administration and considered by
employees to be t h e backbone of good employment practice. T h e
G O P record in the S t a t e is bad. We don't w a n t t h a t kind of "civil
service" in the Federal Government.

War Made Direct Recruitment
Necessary
Many of its normal procedures have, of necessity, given way t «
more direct methods of recruitment, t o less restraint on appointinif
officers, to rapid and, in some cases, to u n w a r r a n t e d overstaffiriip
a n d salary promotions. Decentralization, essential to greater flexibility, has a t times resulted in confusion of effort, to ineffecti^iW
utilization of resources a n d t h e usurpation of authority. Most o t
this cannot, I a m convinced, be used as a n a r g u m e n t against t h e
merit principle under proper control in more normal times.
Fundamentals of Merit Must Be Restored
1
I do n o t m e a n t h a t the Federal Civil Service should go back t e
t h e policies and procedure in effect before t h e war. B u t there does
lie ahead in the post-war days a challenge a n d a test to all f r i e n d e
of t h e merit system to reverse certain "spoils" practices t h a t h a v e
crept in. Undoubtedly m a n y new a n d better ways of doing things-,
developed u n d e r war-time stress, have demonstrated their effectivtlness a n d should be retained a n d developed f u r t h e r . B u t where f u n d a m e n t a l s of the merit system h a v e been relaxed or abrogated thejl
must be restored a n d strengthened. Creation a n d protection
career opportunities are vital steps in this process. Resumption of
a p p o i n t m e n t f r o m established eligible lists imder sound rules i4
essential. A logical system for promotion should be develope<jt
Modernization a n d improvement of the classification p l a n and basi«
salary r a t e s is long overdue.
T h e time to begin planning t h e re-establishment a n d s t r e n g t h ening of a true merit system in the Federal Service is now. R e c o n version in government is just a s i m p o r t a n t as reconversion i n
industry. Congressional committees have already indicated t M
need for correcting some of t h e most obvious f a u l t s t h a t
grown up under the war emergency.
The "Dewey System" Successful
^
I am firmly convinced t h a t t h e "Dewey System"—the system
used in dealing with employees in t h e S t a t e of New York, is i m
admirable one, a n d m a r k s the S t a t e Administration as s y m p a t h e t i c
to such workers.
Gov. Dewey h a s been able to streamline Civil Service in Nea*
York State. He will do so on a larger scale when elected on Novem^
ber 7th next. He will do so because h e will not apply t h e political
"spoils" system to the Federal Civil Service.
i
Demobilization Should Be Just
i
Demobilization of a p a r t of the army of Federal employees Id
inevitable; it should be on a jusfc basis, and should not m e a n ito
repetition of what h a p p e n e d a f t e r t h e last war. Then, m a n y CiVII
Service employees, suddenly discharged from service, found t h e m selves with insufficient f u n d s with which to pay their railroad fai-e^

comes. I am for t h a t . If elected. I will work toward t h a t end.
Moreover, there should be a restoration of jobs to m a n y w h o
left to enter the military; provision for entrance Into public service
of veterans—these a n d m a n y other problems lie ahead. The beaC
thinking of m a n y career officers and employees of goveniment, M
executive management, and of Congress, will be needed to put t h e

people of this country want it to be—the cornerstone of our democracy. If I am elected to t h e United States Senate it will be my p r i v i lege to contribute in every possible way to t h a t end.

Day of Strong Unions Ahead
THE DAY of large labor unions is here, but the day of strong
unions is ahead. Today we have numljers in the great industrial imions
—tomorrow we shall have self-discipline and wise, unwasteful coopvVeration. Constructive cooperation is the first product of unity. For
employers—^public or private—^not to join in constructive cooperation
- would be t h e height of economic folly as well as a serious t h r e a t t o

Today, some of t h e great industrial unions are struggling with t h e

The LEADER Used This Query
To Determine Employee Opinion
1
WHAT DO YOU THINK about the changes In the Feld' 'Hamilton Law proposed by Budget Director John E. Burton?
HAVE YOU any conunent to make upon the activities of the
Salary Standardization Board? The Classification Board?
3. HOW DO EMPLOYEES feel about their present salary
ranges.
4. WHAT PLAN do you feel would be best to care for emergency advances in cost-of-living?
5. DO YOU THINK the merit system is better administered
now than In the past decade? Worse? About the same?
6. IN YOUR OPINION, what would be the effect of the
Hampton-Devaney veteran proposed constitutional amendment upon the operations of the merit system? Would a
limited form of veteran preference be desirable for the
State? Have you any suggestion for a different type of veteran preference legislation?
7. WHAT EMPLOYMENT conditions would you consider as
being below par? How would you suggest these conditions
be improved?
8. ARE YOU SATISFIED with present vacation and sick leave
regulations?
9. DO YOU FAVOR unemployment insurance for State employees?
10. WOULD YOU LIKE to see a system of merit awards introduced into the State Service for meritorious or outstanding
service or for employee suggestions which improve the efficiency of public service? If your answer is yes, what should
merit awards be?
11. DO YOU FEEL that there are sufficient incentives for the
average State employee?
12. IS THE PROMOTION system satisfactory?
13. WHAT SHOULD BE the payment for overtime work in
State service? Time and a half? Or equivalent time off?
Straight pay?
14. DO YOU HAVE in your institution or office an employeremployee council for the settling of minor disputes or grievances? What do you suggest in this respect?

Possibly the m a x i m u m d e a t h
benefit should be limited to $10,000 or six m o n t h s ' salary, whichever was the higher, since this
would tend to avoid t h e criticism
against t h e building up of a large
estate by employees, particularly
if t h e r e were no dependents.
I n addition t h e r e would be
a n increase in t h e accrued liability for ordinary d e a t h benefits
which would need to be t a k e n
care of by t h e continuance of t h e
present deficiency contributions
by t h e S t a t e for a certain period
of years. T h e Committee h a s felt
t h a t the increased death benefit a t
t h e older ages in some cases might
tend to encourage t h e continuance of employment until age 70
which would not be entirely s a t isfactory, so t h a t some reduction
in the m a x i m u m insurance benefits might be m a d e a t t h e older
ages. T h e Prudential's pension
plan for employees provides t h a t
following the a t t a i n m e n t of age 65
for males a n d age 60 for females,
a n employee's d e a t h benefit will
be reduced o n e - f i f t h at each succeeding anniversary, but in no
event below $500. If such a reduct»^on were followed by t h e Retirem e n t System, although not below
a benefit of 6 months' salary, the
cost would be somewhat reduced.

Buying Together: An ImportantLesson to Communities
By JOSEPH E. NICHOLSON
Vice-, resident. National Institute of Government Purcliasingr, City
Purchasing Aeent, Milwaulcee, Wis.
JUST AS separate city departments benefit through grouping
purchases in centralized purchasing,
so separate
taxing
units, towns, viiages, counties
and city governments realize
savings not only in price, but in
obtaining suitable articles for
their purposes. Being suited,
they do the job better and last
longer. Consequently, pooling of
icnowledge of commodities effects savings as well as the pooling of orders. However, in the
State of Wisconsin, legal restrictions
prevent
municipalities
prom delegating their pruchasing
authority to others. Each Wisconsin municipality must issue
its own purchase orders and contracts and pay its own bills direct to suppliers. This is also
true in many other states. Notwithstanding these legal difficulties, groups of State and local
units of government, educational
institutions, hospitals, prisons,
and other tax-supported organizations conduct informal cooperative buying.
The First Organization
The first organization of this
type of record was formed many
years ago by the City of Cincinnati, the County of Hamilton
(in which Cincinnati is located),
the University of Cincinnati, the
Public School Board, and t h e
Public Library. This organization
meets as a cooperative group,
discusses prices, discounts and
purchasing methods and policies.
When the opportunity arises,
they malce joint purchases. Thus
a carload of paper towels is purchased outright on behalf of the
organization and each unit issues its individual purchase orders to the vendor who has
agreed to this arrangement. T h e
sum of these orders equals the
entire contents of the car. Several cities on the shore of Lake
Michigan, north of Chicago, purchase their liquid chlorine together on a similar basis.
In Milwauke County we have a
voluntary group of eighteen
agencies representing the county
government, cities, towns, villages, schools and the Metropolitan Sewerage Commission. We
meet in the same manner as t h e
Cincinnati group and have r e a lized similar advantages. We
have saved money in making
joint purchases and in addition,
have solved many
problems
which have grown out of the
war effort. Most of these problems related to priorities and to
rationing. We have saved many
hours and headaches by pooling
our knowledge of these matters.
Some member agencies, including the County, purchase electric lamps on the City of Milwaukee contract, thereby obtaining the maximum discoimt based
on $65,000 net purchases of lamps
per annum, or much more t h a n
they receive when purchasing i n dependently. Many dealers also
extend extra discounts to members of our group by virtue of
their membership. These special
discoimts relate chiefly to office
supplies such as carbon paper,
typewriter ribbons, stencils and
mimeograph
supplies.
Even
though purchasing is a p a r t time function of some of our
members, they realize the benefits of full-time buying through
this cooperative arrangement.
We also hold meetings for the
purpose of increasing our knowledge of purchasing procedures,
techniques, and market conditions, for we realize t h a t no m a t ter how little may t>e spent i n dividually, a diligent and consistent application of the f u n d a mental business principles of
purchasing results in the p u r chase of goods better suited to
the needs of our municipal departments and at lower prices.
National Institute of
Government Purchasing:
Purchasing agents from various parts of the nation recently
formed a , n a t i o n a l organization
of Federal, State and local public purchasing agencies, including publicly-owned utilities, port
authorities, schools, prisons and

improve public purchasing procedures. We propose to do this

a) A regular and systematic
interchange of information a n d
experience among governmental
agencies.
b) Consultation with legislative bodies, departments of government and others on legislation and problems effecting governmental purchasing. (For example: assisting in the formula-

Dept.
How It Performs Its Job in Time of War
By WILLIAM F. CAREY
Commissioner of Sanitation, City of New York
WE HEAR a great deal these
.days about the necessity for adequate preparation, sufficient supplies, reconversion and complete
coordination for our fighting
forces. For the New York City
Sanitation Department to do an
effective job, it, too, must have
ail the factors required by a victorious army. Wartime restrictions. however, have deprived
us of many of them.
Why We Must Look Ahead
Our daily task is to sweep and
clean 4,000 miles of streets: to
collect 3,400 truckloads (51,000
cupic yards—this varies) of garbage, ashes and ruUbish; to collect
scrap paper and tin cans separately to help the war effort—
this work being done on Wednesday of each week. Another requirement is the removal of snow
and ice in season. To do this )b
we employ 14,000 people in normal times, have the use of some
3,500 pieces of motor equipment
—for snow and for daily use. We
use emergency labor and trucks
to supplement our regular forces
and equipment for snow removal
work when the fall is heavy.
This year emergency labor and
emergency equipment is not
available. Our scientifically-designed
dust-proof
collection
trucks, with
bodies
entirely
closed, have a lift of only 39 Va
inches from the ground, as
against 7 feet in the old type
unsanitary open trucks.' The low
lift eliminates hernia, rupture
and other injuries. We operate 7
incinerators, burning 4,000 tons
every 24 hours, and use 30 steel
well-barges to tow materials to
marine unloading plants.
The daily collection of street
sweepings, garbage, ashes and
rubbish is either disposed of, by
incineration, or used for landfill
purposes. Our modern landfill
operation, which eliminates fires
and rodents, is approximately
one-third the cost of incineration, and we reclaim hundreds
of acres of worthless mosquitoinfested, disease-breeding marsh
and swamp lands, thereby eliminating unsightly land and thus
creating usable and
taxable
property. The city uses much .reclaimed property for park, recreational and other purposes.
The annual budget of the Department is approximately $30,000,000, not including construction items which vary from year
to year.
Post-War Program
Our post-war program, as submitted to the City Planning
Commission, is comprehensive.
Wlien put into operation, it will
enable us to do the type job t'le
citizens of the greatest city in
the world are entitled to. It will
make possible the maintenance
of cleaner streets and a more efficient collection of all materials.
The program costs approximately $10,000,000. It includes

Bidders Who Make Errors
Are Proteeted in N Y State
Persons or contractors who h a n d in bids for work in the State of
New York are protected against an honest error which led them t o
underestimate their price. So states an opinion of Attorney General
Nathaniel L. Goldstein, issued last week. Public Law Number 14:
"Where a bidder has made an honest or unintentional mistake in
arriving at his bid, a department, if satisfied t h a t an honest mistake

who p e r f o r m such services under
private contract was t h e subject
of recent litigation, t h e decisions
in which ca.ses carry sweeping
implications.
I n June, 1942, t h e City of New
York adopted a post-war p l a n ning program. T h e Board of E s t i m a t e h a d allocated about $5,000,000 for the award of contracts
to private engineering a n d a r c h i tectural films. A test case was
brought by civil service employees
holding architectural a n d engineering positions in t h e city to
enjoin t h e city f r o m continuing
t h e practice o f - e n g a g i n g these
private engineers a n d architect u r a l firms and their private
s t a f f s upon a contract basis. They
claimed t h a t the employment of
private engineering a n d a r c h i tectural firms was a n evasion of
t h e civil service provisions of
t h e S t a t e Commission and t h e
Civil Service Law. T h e city contended t h a t t h e contracts were
entered into to meet technics^
problems which private f i r m s
were especially equipped to m a s ter, to accelerate t h e completion
of plans, and to assist in p r e serving intact m a n y private e n gineering a n d architectural o r ganizations t h a t would otherwise
be dispersed to t h e great d e t r i m e n t of the city.
Court Upholds City
T h e Court held t h a t the action
of the Board oi Estimate was
not in contravention of the civil
service provisions of t h e S t a t e
Constitution and held t h a t t h e
power of the Board of Estimate
in contracting with t h e private
engineering and architectural organizations was "wisely exercised." Discussing t h e constitutional question involved, th«
Court commented;
" I t h a s been a practice wh«x
deemed advisable to award contracts for private architectural
a n d engineering services. T h e
difficult architectural and e n gineering problems involved iai
t h e construction of public i m provements d e m a n d t h e highest
degree of specialized professional
skill for their solution. T h e city
for years h a s searched a m o n g
those with experience a n d talent
to meet t h e requirements of d e sign and construction called for
by the n a t u r e of t h e p a r t i c u ^ r
improvements u n d e r consideration. . . . Whenever t h e power to
award such contracts h a s been
challenged courts have approved
the practice.
" T h e award of contracts for
architectural a n d
engineering
work does not constitute a method
for making 'appointments' in t h e
'civil service.' T h e provisions of
t h e contracts awarded do not
create any employer-employee
relationship, but a contractual
one between a n independent
contractor and the city. T h e contracts call for specific studies,
plans a n d specifications. T h e
city does not control t h e office
organizations of such firms, h a s
nothing to do with t h e persons
they employ, does not prescribe
hours of employment a n d is not
their sole client.
" T h e i^ublic policy of the S t a t e
as expressed in Section 451, subdivision 4, Education Law, a n d
Section 683, subdivision 4, New
York City Charter, gives tacit
approval to the practice of using
private architectural a n d engineering firms. A f u r t h e r expression of such policy appears in
C h a p t e r 660, Laws of 1943, where
t h e Legislature gives power t o
t h e state superintendent of p u b lic works to employ private e n gineers and architects in connection with stata projects o r dered by the S t a t e Post-Waj:
Commission.
• 1 therefore conclude t h » t
n o t h i n g contained in the Constitution or the provisions of t h e
Civil Service Law prohibits t h e
city f r o m awarding contracts for
architectural a n d
engineering
services to private concerns in
connection with t h e post-wa»
planning program. This couvt
f u r t h e r holds t h a t the action ot
t h e city a t t a c h e d herein is i a
line with sound public policy aMI
represents a wise exercise of dis-
oretion."

A s MORE and more Federal troops are sent out of tlie United States
and those remaining are being trained for overseas service, the State
Guards of the various States become of greater and greater importance.
They are the first line of internal defence against any disaster, be it
man-made or an act of nature.
T h e New York Guard has already supplied the Federal armed services
with innumerable officers and large numbers of men who have been
trained to speak and understand the military language. It is a proven
fact that members of the Guard on entering the Federal service reach
non-commissioned and commissione d grade much faster than any others.
G o v . THOMAS E. DEWEY, by recent legislation, has decreed that
members of the New York Guard employed by State agencies or
municipalities will lose no pay or vacation time because of time spent
in the service of the State through the Guard up to thirty days a year.
It is the earnest desire that all em ployers within the State voluntarily
adopt such a ruling.
*
I t IS understood that there are some 300,000 civil service employees
in the New York State area. It is earnestly hoped that that great force
will supply the Guard with a substantial number of members.
