Of Ideas on Automatic Promotions
Promotions depending on satisfactory service rather
than on the results of a written examination, are desired
by New York City employees. Proposals for this change,
''originally suggested by employees of the City Sanitation
department, have been seized by workers in other City
agencies who are dissatisfied with the present system of
written examinations at infrequent intervals.

in Grade 2 and 3 for ten years

Earl Kelly Issues Progress Report on
Mental Hygiene Classification Appeals
ALBANY—J. Earl Kelly, Director of Classification of the State
Civil Service Department, has issued a progress report on mental
• hygiene appeals. The report was read at the annual meeting of the
State Association by Joseph Schechter, Counsel of the Civil Service
,Commission. Mr. Schechter outlined in great detail the manner by
which classification works.
Here is Mr. Kelly's import, in last winter the Board had to re•'fuU:

Considering the fact that for tracing work assignments for the

and answering voluminous correspondence, it is readly apparent
t h a t the related work requires as
much, if not more, time t h a n do
the hearings themselves.
For the past several months
each of the two Board members
have been concurrently hearing
separate calendars during the usual daytime working hours and
meeting in evening sessions as a
board to determine the appeals
heard by each day. This procedui-e
h a s effectively Increased the pace
at which the job has proceeded.
Notices of the decisions on theU'

85% of the employees already

Suggest Abolishing Tests
I n the M a n h a t t a n office of the
Department of Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity, the water inspectors are circulating a petition
asking the abolition of promotion
examinations because, they say,
the examinations are seldom based

PosiUons Won't Be Filled
When persons resign or leave
for other reasons, positions will
just not be filled or if it is necessary to have an incumbent, some
person whose job is about to be
eliminated will be placed in the
spot.
I t Is still the general opinion
here t h a t there will be no largescale cuts in the size of the Government until after the war in Europe, .and even then problems in
disposal of surplus property and
reconversion will require services

the East.
tled and others hinge upon factors such as interpretation of the
law, military leaves, further classification of duties, etc. As soon as
determinations on these cases can
be made, appropriate notices will
be sent to the appellants.
Those Not Yet Visited
The employees of the institutions which have not yet been
visited by the Board are becoming
inci-easingly Impatient. This is
quite natural and we can readily
understand their feelings. Until
we can actually adjust their classifications, we at least assure them
of our sympathetic understanding; more t h a n that, we here f u r nish them with some facts which
must be convincing proof t h a t
everyone concerned is trying h a r d
to make the Mental Hygiene classifications as nearly correct as possible.
Of tlie total of appeals already
decided, about one half have resulted in upward classifications.

date; and t h a t even a f t e r a promotion list is drawn up, the m a jority of the eligibles are never
reached for promotion.
T h e Water Inspectors also have
presented a plan to the American
Federation of Municipal E m ployees for revision of the promotion setup. Their suggestions:
A. Retention of t h e present
competitive examination and p r o bationary period and other provisions for entrance into a City
job to remain unchanged.
B. Elimination of all promotional examinations, except for
some administrative positions.
C. Salary increments of $120
yearly, to begin a f t e r three years
of satisfactory service until a
suitable maximum salary ceiling
is reached. Present salary grades
should be lifted to provide better
maximum salaries.
D. Salary increments should depend on the employee's maintaining a satisfactory service rating.
Employees in other departments, with suggestions, or who
want to endorse this plan are invited to write to Mr. M. Blum at
Room 2420, Municipal Building,
New York 7.
Discussing this promotion plan,
Henry Feinstein, president of Local 717, American Federation of
State, County and Municipal E m ployees. AFL, said: "I am in favor
of such a plan but some changes
must be made to allow promotional opportunities for the vast
number of municipal employees
who are stuck in jobs with no
avenue of advancement. There has
not yet been advanced a comprehensive plan to allow equal
chances of advancement to all
employees in all departments.
"This is a phase of City administration in which the Civil Service Commission and the Administration have fallen down. I hope
t h a t the newly aroused interest
among City employees will produce constructive results."
The LEADER Is desirous of
having employee comment upon
the automatic-promotion idea. If
you have any thoughts, pro or
con, please let us hear from you.

Tlie explanation, as given by a

New appointments a i e being

older employee receives the bonus
in addition to the base pay. T h a t
^jneans the older employee is now
earning $1,560 because of t h e war
bonus and is $240 ahead of the
new worker.
' As to t h e future, t h a t depends
on what happens about t h e bonus.
If the bonus is made a permanent

t h e n t h e older employee will have

Mayor Concerned
About Red Tape
Faced by Vets
The problem of the veteran returning to his NYC job was before the Municipal Civil Service
Commission again last week. The
weekly calendar of the Commission noted t h a t a letter h a d been
received "From the Office of the
Mayor, Matter of investigation
prior to apointment of discharged
veterans,"
Action on the letter was held
over until next week. However,
it is known t h a t the Mayor is
against the present red-tape faced
by veterans who return and ask
for their City jobs. This was
brought to his attention in t h e
cases of Patrolmen Carlson and
Murray, by Selective Service director Colonel Arthur V. McDermott.
Court Rules
Deputy Fire Chief
Jobs -lllegar
Another in the series of legal
lickings taken by the NYC Fire
Department was administered by
the Appellate Division of t h e Supreme Court late last week.
This was the case brought by
a group of battalion chiefs in t h e
Fire D e p a r t m e n t who felt t h a t t h e
appointment of 10 Deputy Chiefs
in June, 1943, was illegal, and
infringed on their promotional
opportunities.
As explained by Albert de
Roode, attorney for t h e contesting Battalion Chiefs, the question
was t h e legality of the ten appointments. which were m a d e
just before t h e expiration of t h e
1942-3 municipal budget. In order
to make these
appointments,
budget lines were juggled aroimd
and
appointments of
Deputy
Chiefs made in excess of t h e n u m ber provided in t h e Fire D e p a r t ment quota. This action was also
opposed by H. Eliot Kaplan, appearing on behalf of t h e Civil
Service Reform Association, .
Unanimous Decision
In a unanimous decision, the
five justices of the Appellate Division ruled: "We hold t h a t the action of the Budget Director in
making these promotions without
specific approval by the Board of
Estimate was not sanctioned by
law, . . . This renders it unnecessary for us to pa.ss on the other
questions raised."
This ruling of t h e Appellate Division upholds an earlier decision
by Judge Pecora t h a t the ten a p pointments from Battalion Chief
to Deputy Chief be cancelled.
Judge Pecora h a d attacked t h e
validity of tlie a t t e m p t to Increase
the number of Deputy Chiefs f r o m
47 to 57 in order to use up t h e
remaining names on a promotion
list.
However, it is expected t h a t t h e
City will follow its usual procedure and ask the Appellate Division for pel-mission to take the
case to the Court of Appeals (the
State's highe.st court >, or apply
directly to the Court of Appeals
for another hearing.

Talk Back to
T
PolitUians!
-^HE LINE which heads this editorial has been the
theme of statements appearing in The LEADER for
the past four weeks.
We think that you, as a public employee, should heed
this line, if you haven't already. This is the time of year
you have most political influence. Use it! This is one time
when listening to you becomes a political MUST to the
candidate running for public oflftce. So tell the chap who
wants your vote what you want from him. Make certain
you understand precisely where he stands on issues that
concern you.
We've been asked why we don't endorse candidates
for office.
We deem it our duty to speak out vigorously on issues,
to divulge what we consider wrong in public service, to
give you all the facts we can gather. Throughout the
year we praise or condemn public figures on the basis of
their achievements or lack of them—not because of their
politics. But the actual selection of candidates is a matter
we don't think it our business to do for you. That is your
business, and important business, too.
We do permit candidates to express themselves
through oui- pages. Last week, we gave up most of our
editorial page so that Senator Robert F. Wagner and
Thomas J. Curran, i-unning for the United States Senate,
might have their say on civil service—unedited. Perl^aps
.next week we will give similar space to-both candidates
for the Presidency to discuss civil service: we've invited
them to do so. Also, we accept paid advertising from
candidates and parties. But it is our policy not to* take
sides as among candidates. We do not endorse candidates
or parties so that we may be independent and impartial
in matters of public interest and in working toward the
e.stablisliment of the highest ethics for the civil service.
To our readers we advise, however, again and again:
Talk back to the politicians! Be sure they understand
what you want. Be sure they understand the extent of
your political strength. This is one time you'll make an
impression on them!

Get One Full Day
Off to Vote
WASHINGTON — Federal employees will be given up to one
full day to vole, according to an
order oi' the While House.
In most instances the same
procedure of allowing two hours
oil to vole as was in effect at the
last election wnll be followed. But
In view of the fact that so many
thousands of Government workers are not living at home, up to
one full day—with pay and with
«o charge of leave—will be permitted.
Tlie order said that if more
t h a n one day was needed to get
to the polls, time should be given
off, but all in excess of one day
should be charged to annual
leave.
' According to the White House
spokesman, the fu'l day off, if
needed, was intended to be t h e
policy for all agencies the last
election, but a misinterpretation
of the j-egulation resulted in most
agencies permitting only
two
hours to be granted.
Result of the announcement
here was the notice by thousands
of government employees t h a t
they intended to take the time off
and return home to vote. New
York and Pennsylvania employees
were the most numerou^i iu a n nouncing this plan.

Commissioner
Edqar
Bromberger: Isn't this the real reason
why you took your present job

Mayor LaGuardia you'll be appointed in June, 1945, to the
position of Chief
Magistrate?
That's when Judge Henry Curran's term expires. . , . Talk
about some people's sense of

and he found plenty of buyers,

LaGuardia have lately become
extremely chummy. . . . Dewey's
much - vaunted research
staff
actually narrows down to two
key men—Stanley
Fuld, who
gathers the facts, and John E.
Burton, Deioey's Budget Director, who gathers the
figures.
. . . Burton is described by one
of his associates as
"mackerelcold, efficient,
brilliant,
oversensitive to bad publicity,
politically naive; could just as easily
be a New Dealer under Roosevelt as a budget director under
Dewey." . . . Burton's wife is
his most valuable aide: she's
liked, respected. . . . They're
painting the Capitol in Albany.
And on the ceiling in one of
the darker rooms the
painter
found a cartoon of Al Smith.
It had been there for years,
but nobody ever knew.
The
drawing was painted over. . . .
There aren't many books on
the news-stand
at the
State
Capitol in Albany, just below
the Governor's office. But oxe
of those books is by Earl Browser! . . . There's been a shifting of versonnel
in the NYC

She
was unceremoniously shown the
door. . . . Mrs. Esther Bromley,
head of the NYC Civil Service
Commission, still bears "acting" in front of her official title.
Does t h a t mean LaGuardia h a s
plans for another permanent
appointee to head the agency?
. . . Mrs. Bromley, by the way,
often works a t her desk while
wearing her nurses' aide uniform, with a gold stripe on the
sleeve. . . . Room 9, City Hall

people t h a t the boys tacked
up a "Keep Out Unless on
Business" sign . . . Reposing
in a conspicuous place in Fiorello LaGuardia's Gracie Mansion is a framed poetic composition recording the history
of the LaGuardia administration.
LaGuardia knows the
name of the man who wrote it.
But does he know the poet is a
member of his own Police Department? . . ,

The Annual
Meeting
T H E 1944 ANNUAL MEETING of t h e Association of S t a t e Civil
.Service Employees, in tiie 35tli year of its existence, is now history.
I t was a most interesting a n d productive meeting. -The discussions
h e a r d on t h e m a n y important subjects now before State employees,
*Vere well presented, full of good judgment, and indicated t h e type
of thinking t h a t is being done for t h e benefit of S t a t e service geneifally. Such statements as " t h e finest civil service laws" t h e "highest
^pay scales" t h e "best classification of positions in this n a t i o n " show
t h e just p r i d e ' t h a t employees have in their civil service protection.
We heard f r o m m a n y specialists in S t a t e service, including our S t a t e
'Comptroller F r a n k C. Moore.
Program of Work Adopted
NEW OFFICERS and members of our executve committee were
elected and took office. A program of work was adopted through t h e
resolutions submitted and adopted. We s t a r t a new year f r a u g h t with
(.danger to S t a t e service f r o m several angles—proposed constitutional
a m e n d m e n t to extend complete preference to all veterans—amendm e n t s to our retirement law—amendments to our career civil service
J a w — a n d m a n y others.
Reconversion to peacetime conditions faces us with all of its
dangers of new pressure, so-called modern thinking in government,
4sms of all kinds. We must be absolutely alert in combating these
extremists who will surely m a k e themselves heard.
They're Group Problems

10 b'clock in t h e morning until nearly midnight, and recall m a n y
Individual conversations with delegates f r o m all p a r t s of t h e S t a t e
-I am impressed by t h e f a c t t h a t almost without exception t h e problems discussed were group problems—problems of a hospital, of a
school, of a prison, or of large groups of field employees. I remember
•tonly one instance where a n individual problem was discussed. T h e
point I wish to m a k e is t h e desire a n d intention of all delegates to
present t h e problems of t h e members of the chapter they were sent
' t o represent. And they did it in a m a n n e r t h a t brings credit to t h e m selves and their chapters,
^
Topic of Conversation
ONE O F T H E TOPICS of conversation t h a t I encountered as 1
mingled with t h e delegates, between t h e scheduled discussons, was
t h e attempt of outside organizations to recruit membership among
S t a t e employees. I found a complete lack of concern .about this. O u r
-Chapter representatives and officers made such comments as these:
•Yes, they (the organizers of these unions) have been at our hospital
b u t when I asked them by w h a t means they would settle our diffic u l t i e s of salary, title, maintenance charges, sick leave, classification,
etc., they h a d no satisfactory plan, no plan t h a t even approaches t h e
jprogram of our own association—Result, no members t r a n s f e r r e d
^ o m our chapter to t h e union."
I have full confidence t h a t t h e State employees generally, being
t h e intelligent, clear-thinking, sound citizens t h a t they are, will
continue their confidence in a n d their support of t h e r own organi-.
"lation, t h e one they helped to build, whose policies are established
by its members, whose income is used solely and entirely to promote
t h e welfare of New York S t a t e employees and not directed to other
•groups, other States, to salaries of national or international officers.
T h e f u t u r e of our Association is assured. T h e welfare of New
York S t a t e employees will continue to be t h e only concern of its
tion-salaried officers and other workers.

Creedmoor
ALBANY—Below Is a listing of
delegates from all parts of the
Btate who participated in the
meeting of t h e Association of
State Civil Service Employees,
held in Albany on Tuesday, October 17.
After more t h a n twelve years of
f a i t h f u l service t o t h e Creedmoor
S t a t e Hospital, Dr. Robert J . Hall
leaves to accept a promotion a t
Wassaic S t a t e School, on Nov. 1st,
1944. Write t h e employees:
" I t is with profound sorrow t h a t
m a n y of us see him leave. To
everyone who h a s come in contact
with him, both employees and officers, he h a s endeared himself as
a friend. Many of us who have
worked with h i m h a d t h e feeling
t h a t he was not our superior, not
" t h e boss", but someone for whom
we wanted to do t h e utmost because of his f a i r n e s ^
"Patients whom he h a s treated
know f a r better t h a n anyone else
his personality, his deep sympathy,
and his psychiatric understanding.
Their relatives are lost for words
with which to express their appreciation of his untiring efforts.
Their common expression is: God
Bless Dr. Hall.
"If there has been one m a n at
Creedmoor who in the past twelve
years h a s given his utmost for t h e
relations between t h e visitors and
t h e hospital, t h a t m a n is Dr. Hall.
"All would have loved to see him
stay m a n y more years to come and
attain similar r a n k and recognition at Creedmoor.
" I t will be hard to replace him.
Creedmoor's loss is Wassaic's gain.
Lucky "Wassaic!"

Regardless of how violently Mr.

for either one of two bad c a n didates, or took t i m e off to e n t e r t a i n t h e h o r d e of Federal I n vestigators, h e never petitioned
his a l m a m a t e r to include such
a course in t h e curriculum. H e

Myths and Truths About NYS Retirement System
By FRANK C. MOORE
Comptroller, Sate of New York
The material which follows is part of an address which
Mr.
Moore delivered to delegates of the Association of State Civil Service
Employees,
in Albany on October 17. It is vital material jor every
New York State administratoY
and employee.
'
T H E M E M B E R S of t h e R e t i r e m e n t System a r e entitled, a t all
times, to p r o m p t , a c c u r a t e a n d
complete i n f o r m a t i o n as to its
workings, particularly in r e g a r d
to their individual rights a n d
privileges a n d t h e moneys t h e y
h a v e invested in it. S u c h i n f o r m a t i o n should be m a d e available
courteously a n d clearly, in plain
language. I t -should not be s u p plied
through
form
letters
phrased
in
the
professional
"lingo" so few of us c a n i n terpret.
As a step toward a better u n d e r s t a n d i n g of t h e System, I initiated, early in 1943, a revision
of t h e laws p e r t a i n i n g to it. Competent counsel was employed to
rewrite these s t a t u t e s in words
which would reveal r a t h e r t h a n
conceal t h e i r m e a n i n g , but without impairing t h e rights g u a r a n t e e d to t h e m e m b e r s u n d e r t h e

Myths
Some careless persons have ref e r r e d to t h e reserve f u n d s of t h e
R e t i r e m e n t System as a surplus
available for t h e p a y m e n t of a d ditional benefits. T h a t is a m y t h .
Every penny in t h e reserve f u n d
is required to pay to t h e m e m bers t h e benefits we have already
promised t h e m .
I t h a s been said t h a t it costs
a m e m b e r 10 per cent to borrow
his own money f r o m t h e System
because h e pays 6 per cent i n t e r est upon t h e money borrowed
a n d he loses 4 per cent interest
on t h e f u n d s w i t h d r a w n . T h i s is
another myth.
T h e total cost to t h e m e m b e r
is 6 per cent. Of this sum, 2 per
cent is retained by t h e System
as a n a d m i n i s t r a t i v e c h a r g e a n d
t h e o t h e r 4 per cent is credited
to the m e m b e r ' s own account.
W h e n t h e loan is fully repaid,
t h e member's f u n d is in t h e s a m e
position as it would have been if
h e h a d m a d e no loan.
I t is a f a c t , however, t h a t in
Frank C. Moore heads New York
State's Department
of Audit and
Control.
t h e year which ended J u n e 30,
1944, t h e System derived approximately $110,000 f r o m a d m i n i s t r a tive charges upon loans to its
members. T h i s income is applied
to t h e p a y m e n t of t h e a d m i n i s trative expenses of t h e System,
including t h e loan service.
I t is no m y t h t h a t t h e provisions of Sections 62 a n d 68 of
t h e Civil Service Law (commonly
known as t h e t h i r t y - d a y provisions) h a v e worked real h a r d ships in certain cases. C o n t i n u ous discussion for t w e n t y years
h a s not yet revealed t h e solution
of this problem. B u t by t h e
studies we have initiated, we
h o p e to find the means of at
least partially relieving t h e h a r s h
e f f e c t of these provisions.
Financial Problems
I t is also a f a c t t h a t t h e System
h a s been c o n f r o n t e d f o r some
time with two serious f i n a n c i a l
problems.
F r o m t h e beginning, m e m b e r s
were promised by s t a t u t e a 4 per
cent return upon their contributions. F a v o r a b l e money r a t e s
enabled t h e Comptroller, f r o m
1921 to 1936, to obtain a n a v e r age r e t u r n of better t h a n 4 per
cent f r o m t h e investment of t h e
f o u n d s of t h e System. T h e h i g h
point was r e a c h e d in 1934. Since
t h e n , however, t h e t r e n d h a s
been s t e a d i l y downward. As older
bonds bearing high i n t e r e s t r a t e s
m a t u r e a n d t h e Comptroller is
obliged to re-invest t h e proceeds
in new obligations bearing m u c h
lower Interest rates, t h e s i t u a tion becomes progressively worse.
I n t h r e e of t h e last f o u r years,
t h e S t a t e h a s credited t h e m e m bers of t h e System with m o r e
interest u p o n t h e i r contributions
t h a n it h a s been able t o e a r n
f r o m t h e obligations in which
t h e i r m o n e y s are invested.
I n 1941, f o r t h e f i r s t time, t h e
i n v e s t m e n t s of t h e R e t i r e m e n t
System failed to produce a 4 per
cent r e t u r n . T h e deficit, h o w ever, a m o u n t e d to merely $6,400.
Last year, t h e deficit was $604,883—or almost 100 times a s
g r e a t . If t h e present low money
r a t e s continue, a n d t h e r e is every
indication t h a t t h e y will, t h i s a n n u a l deficit will increase e a c h
year a n d will a m o u n t t o a p p r o x i m a t e l y $4,000,000 in t h e year
1954.
I t is estimated t h a t t h e S t a t e
a n d municipalities will be required to m a k e a n additional
contribution of $20,000,000 to
meet this deficit in t h e n e x t
decade.
T o prevent still larger deficits,
it was necessary last year, to r e duce f r o m 4 per cent to 3 per
cent t h e interest r e t u r n to new
m e m b e r s joining t h e System a f ter J u n e 30, 1943.
Reserves
T h e second f i n a n c i a l problem
also concerns our reserves. O u r
R e t i r e m e n t System is now using
the
same
mortality
tables
a d o p t e d w h e n t h e System was
established in 1921, a l t h o u g h t h e
s t a t u t e requires t h e Comptroller
t o review t h e tables every five
years. T h e s e old tables Ignore t h e
simple f a c t t h a t people now live
longer t h a n t h e y did in 1921.
By using these obsolete tables,
t h e System h a s failed to make*
a d e q u a t e provision in its pension
a n d a n n u i t y reserves f o r t h e p a y m e n t of a r e t i r e m e n t allowance
over t h e longer life of t h e a v e r age of today.
You m a y also a n t i c i p a t e t h e

Increased Contributions

New Gauge on Crane
Cuts Accident Toll
A NEW device to protect crane operators and other employees,
has been developed by the General Electric Company. A gauge—the
size of a package of cigarettes—guards again.st accidents which delay
jobs and ruin hard-to-replace equipment.
As described by J. P. Smith,
Industrial Engineering Division, strain gauge is attached. This
General Electric:
stretch is measured accurately
"Every c r a n e m a n knows t h e by the gauge in changing of the
difficulty of determining the gauge's .005-inch air gap, which
weight he is to handle and t h e in t u r n causes movement of a
radius at which h e can swing pointer over the five-inch scale

YShat to Look for When
Selecting Sewage Pumps
THE PURCHASE of sewage
pumps rarely gets the attention
it deserves. Perhaps one reason is
t h a t these pumps are handling
waste matter, and t h e community is primarily interested in getting rid of the waste m a t t e r in
the simplest and cheapest way
possible—that any old thing
which will do the work at the
lowest price is plenty good
enough.
' Contrast this attitude with the
painstaking attention given to
the purchase of a water-supply
system, or to an important f u n c tion such as t h a t performed by
a fire pump.
There are no standards w h a t soever for sewage pumps.
The
offering of a m a n u f a c t u r e r is
left to his own judgment, and
specifications are often written
by inexperienced persons. Sewage pumps and many drainage
pumps quite frequently are purchased ijy inexperienced laymen
on competitive bids. Low price
always counts heavily, with not
enough importance attached to
the vital role sewage pumps play
in tlie health of the community.
Consider these points—There
are certain points to consider in
the purchase of a sewage pump,
as in any other important piece
of merchandise. If these points
are brought to the attention of
tlie buyer and used in the p u j cha.se of the equipment, it's ten
to one the community will purchase a pump t h a t will probably
give it long years of service instead of one t h a t will probably
be replaced in a few years. These
points are listed in order of importance:
1. Knowledge of the application.
2. Capacity of the pump to
pass large solids and handle raw
sewage.
3. Speed as related to operating head. Abnormally high head
requirements will, in most cases,
require 1750 rpm motors for
average sewage pump capacity.
On the other hand, high speeds
for low heads will frequently
mean a noisy pump and short
life.
W h a t may be a high speed for
one pump would be a low speed
for another. But by and large,
if the selection is made on the
.slowest practical speed for the
head condition, there is an assurance of good service from the
pumping equipment.
4. Accessories. Type of lubrication: motor and pump supports,
etc. All of these are small items,
but if not considered in the p u r chase of equipment can certainly
be an annoyance to the operator
and a deferrent to the proper
operation of the unit. As a rule,
a clear and complete .set of specifications can handle the.se details
if properly checked with the
bidders.

An Idea—Cops
Pinch Hit as Firemen
Here's an Idea which many
small communities might consider.
Why c a n ' t policemen pinch hit
as firemen, where t l v monpower
shortage is such as to make it
difficult to recruit enough men
to fill both types of positions?
Several municipalities find this
a satisfactory p e r m a n e n t consolidation, the International City
Managers Association reports.
For
example,
Huntington
Woods, Mich., population 3,000,
h a s h a d 12 years successful experience with the same personnel
serving as policemen and firemen. T h e public safety force
consists of the chief, four men
and two p a r t - t i m e employees.
T h e chief is on duty daily except
Sundays during city hall hour.s
a n d is on call at any timf'. The
four men work in pairs, 24 hours
on and 24 hours off, and altern a t e every six hours between
patrol duty in a two-way radio
car and inside duty.
How It Works
T h e m a n on patrol is primarily a policeman but re.sponds
to fire calls upon radio contact.
The inside m a n acts as fireman
responding to fire calls with the
Are truck, being met a t the fire
by the patrol car.
In case of a serious fire the
public
works
employees
are
called by siren in t h e daytime
and phone a t night and receive
t h e pay of volunteer
firemen.
The p a r t - t i m e employees are
high school or college students
who work on alternate nights to
take phone calls and be at the
station in the absence of the
regular man. T h e city also has a
stand-by agreement with t h e a d .ioining city of Royal Osk but h a s
never had to call for help.
Proved Satisfactory
This plan of assigning fire and
police work to t h e same men h a s
proved satisfactory in this small
residential suburb which has 900
single-family residences a n d no
bu.siness district, t h e association
said. Fire loss for t h e last six
years totals $5,025.
T h e police problem is simple,
speeding being t h e most common
cause of arrest. Burglaries are
few. and there a r e no homicides.
I n 1943 the cost of police and
fire service was $16,730 or $5.77
per capita.
Other small Michigan cities
having combined police and fire
functions in t h e same personnel
are Cadillac. Centerline, East Detroit, Ea.st G r a n d Rn.niric East
Lansing. Gro,«;,se Pointe Shores,
Ludington, Portland, Roseville,
St. Clair Shores and Sturgis.
chase a pump disregarding one
or more of the five factors listed
above, and as a result needless
expen.se is incurred, f a r beyond
the difference in first cost.
Much of the heavy expense involved in the operation of the
pumping units is very o f t e n
caused by faulty selection. To
illustrate: Too often a community will purchase a small sewage
pump, one lo handle 75 to 100
gmp. or a sufficient capacity
to handle the flow f r o m a community of 150 to 200 families.
Prom the beginning the pump is
a constant source of trouble f r o m
clogging, with p u m p shut-downs
and backing up of gravity mains.
Here is a complete disregard of
factor number one—knowledge
of an application: or factor
number two—capacity of the
pumps to pass large enough
solids.
To sum up, two s t a n d a r d s
stand out as e.ssential in choosing sewage pumps t h a t will give
efficient, trouble free service.
1. Know all the f a c t s about
the job which the pumps will be
called upon to do.
2. Recognize, t h a t on equipment of this kind, the only
guarantee worth anything is the
n a m e and reputation of a m a n u facturer who knows his business.
Yeomans Brothers Company,
main offices at 1433 Diiyton St.
Chicago 22, Illinois, h a s representatives in 48 cities throughout
the country who can help communities with iheir pumping
problems. It is considered a reliable m a n u f a c t u r i n g
firm.
Among installations of the m a n ufacturer are I.ong Beach, California; Aidmore, Pemisylvania,
Ral^vay Valley, New Jersey a n d
Greenwood, Missis-sippi.

YOU CANT GET AROUND A FACT
Here Are Plain Facts Which Every Public Employee
Should Know About the National Election
DO YOU WORK FOR THE CITY OF NEW YORK?
you were working in private industry.
Let's take the case of only two of the groups of New
York City employees—the policemen and firemen. During
Governor Dewey's term of office, these men were sodesper*
ately hit by the rise in living costs that they came to Albany
and asked the Legislature to help t^em.
They got bills in-
troduced to raise their pay. But Governor Dewey himself
stopped those bills, and it was another year of hardship
before patrolmen and firemen finally got a b o n u s - — a n d
f r o m the City of New York, and not with any of Governor
Dewey's help.
nents have badgered you, called you scurrilous names, denied you even the simplest protections, it was President
Franklin D. Roosevelt who came to your defense, with honest
facts and figures about what you are doing to help win the
war.
Those are the real facts about Republican double-talk
on civil service*
DO YOU WORK FOR THE STATE OF NEW YORK?
Then keep an eye on the Felf-Hamilton Law!
That's the real fact about Republican double-talk on
You know that just about the most important single
protection that you have is the Feld-Hamilton Law. This
civil service.
DO YOU WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?
Mr. Bricker, GOP candidate f o r Vice-President, loves
to gel laughs out of his audience by calling you a "bureaucrat." The Republicans in the House of Representatives murdered your chance to get unemployment insurance, and thus denied you the security you would have if
^
When your oppo*
law sets up clear-cut grades and salary schedules and increments, allows you to appeal if you are dissatisfied.
Mr.
Dewey's Director of the Budget, John E. Burton, is trying
to break that law—trying to set-up a new system that will
throw your protection out the window.
/
That's the real fact about Republican double-talk o u
civil service.
