NYC Sits Tight on }Nages, Employees Fume
By JEROME TALE
A bill introduced into the City Council by Councilman
James Quill to increase the cost-of-living bonus paid New
lYork City employees, again brought the underpaid municipal employees' situation to public consideration last week.
So did Mayor LaGuardia's statement to operating departments—^now making up their budgets—^that they keep
jtheir budgets down.
T h e Quill measure, referred by
•the Council to its Committee on
F i n a n c e for study, provides:
—All employees earning less
t h a n $5,000 a year would receive a $500 duration bonus.
Their present bonus would be i n creased to reach this sum.
—^Employees, on a daily basis
(mainly s k i l l e d workei-s),
would receive a bonus of $2 a day,
instead of the present $1 bonus.
T h e proposals m a d e by Mr.
Quill are p a r t of the program of
t h e State, County and Municipal
Workers of America, to. equalize
t h e pay of City workers as compared to t h a t of workers in private
industry.
$1,500 Minimum
I n addition, t h e SCMWA prog r a m calls f o r : A $1,500 m i n imum salary ($27.69 a week);
time a n d a half for overtime
work. Also, a general improvem e n t of t h e promotional system.
SCMWA figures cite t h e f a c t t h a t
last year, 10,000 employees were
on City promotion lists; 1,650 were
promoted.
T h e Civil Service F o r u m p r o posal t o remedy t h e financial
straits of City workers is m a k i n g
t h e present cost-of-living bonus
a p e r m a n e n t increase. Legislation
asking t h a t step h a s passed t h e
City Council, is now buried by t h e
Board of Estimate, which alone
h a s t h e power t o m a k e such f i nancial changes.
T h e AFL union, t h e American
Federation of State, County a n d
Municipal Employees, proposes a
general revision a n d study of t h e
grades, salaries a n d assignments
of City employees. As examples of
unwise economies, t h e AFSCME
tells of DPW bridge workers
who have to remain on duty as
long as 24 hours because their r e lief m a n takes sick. T h i s organization also favoi's a $1,500 minim u m pay schedule.
Prevailing Fay Situation
All organizations a r e
bitter
against t h e plan whereby t h e City
circumvents t h e p a y m e n t of full
salaries t o employees who work
o n prevailing rates. According t o
Section 220 of t h e S t a t e Labor
Law, employees i n t h e skilled
c r a f t s m e n categories are entitled
t o e a r n t h e same salary as is paid
f o r similar work in private i n dustry in t h e area. Employees file
complaints against s u b - s t a n d a r d
r a t e s with t h e City Comptroller.
T h e Comptroller makes a survey
a n d r a t e determination. Usually
a Court f i g h t follows, with t h e
City (its usual procedure) taking
t h e m a t t e r t o t h e highest courts
of appeal. W h e n t h e employees
finally win a n d t h e Court establishes a new rate, t h e City
"hedges" by cutting down t h e
n u m b e r of days of work t o limit
t h e employee's a n n u a l earnings t o
his previous salary. I n addition,
those who failed to sign their
U. S. Employees Due for More Pay
And Unemployment Security
vised upward in order to compensate for increases in cost
of living.
Federal employees paid a t daily
or a t hourly rates have h a d their
wages adjusted t o conform to t h e
prevailing rates of pay within
their localities. As a result, their
basic rates of pay have been i n creased in most instances by at
least 15 per cent. All compensation for overtime h a s been based
on these increases in basic r a t e s
of pay.
T h e basic r a t e s of pay for most
positions held by salaried Federal
employees have not been increased

since t h e s t a r t of t h e war. Their

IWASHINGTON—Higher salaries
f o r Federal employees featured
Jthe 61st a n n u a l report of the Civil
(Service Commission given to the
President last week.
More money to permit Governm e n t workers to meet t h e soaring
cost of living and p u t t h e m on a
bar with workers in private industry was t h e No. 1 item of t h e
report. T h e Commission
also
recommends higher overtime pay
fuid unemployment compensation.
Because of t h e importance of
t h e s e 8ecti(His of t h e report, T h e
LEIADBR p r i n t s them in fulL
effect in most instances f o r more
t h a n 10 years.
T h e Federal Government must
a t t r a c t a n d hold personnel whose
qualifications a r e above question.
I t c a n never expect to compete
on a n equal basis in so f a r as
salaries a r e concerned with private employers. I t m u s t continue
to depend on finding persons who
are willing t o m a k e m o n e t a r y
sacrifices in r e t u r n for t h e privilege of serving all t h e people.
S u c h persons should not, however,
be expected t o s t a n d by a n d n o t
receive a d j u s t m e n t s in ^ e i r basic
pay structure in order t o compensate f o r increases in cost of
living. T h e r e should, therefore,
be a n immediate re-examination
of basic rates of pay for sedarled
employees in order t o determine
w h a t a d j u s t m e n t s should be m a d e
as a result of t h e increases, over
a period of t h e past several years,
in t h e oost of living.

No Bonus for New Employees
T h e wage situation is especially
h a r d on new employees who a r e
n o t given t h e cost-of-living bonus.
Salaries a s low as $1,200 a r e o f fered for clerical workers; $1,500
f o r pharmacists; $1,200 f o r libr a r i a n s ; $1,200 for laboratory a s sistants a n d stock assistants, a p prentices are listed a t $2.83 p e r
day, luncheon helpers, $1,200.
Difficulty in hiring help at
these salaries Increases t h e d i f ficulty of t h e older employees who
h a v e to t a k e over t h e work of u n filled positions. I n addition, t h e
financial policy of t h e City calls
f o r economies in each departmeiab
to absorb t h e bonus cost by u n filled jobs; missed promotions.
And t h e cost of living continues
to go up.
These are t h e elements whichi
f o r m a n explosive mixture now
smoldering, but which is likely to
break out violently in comini;
months.

in government, is the exception
rather than the rule. It is designed to take care of emergency
situations.
Throughout the war, manpower
shortages and the tremendous
needs of the Aimy and Navy have
made It necessary for all employers engaged in the war program to require overtime work.
Employees have been, and should
be, compensated for this aditional
work at increased rates of pay.
Following the war, this nation
will unquestionably once again
subscribe to Uie policy that overtime work is scmiething to be
avoided, and that when it becomes
necessary it should be compensated for at higher rates of pay.
Any other policy would invariably
vesult in some workers receiving
large incomes while others, who
would be just as anxious to work,
would find themselves deprived of
such an opportunity.
The Federal Government, as a n
employer, was slow in recognizing
the necessity for compensating its
salaried employees for overtime
despite the fact that existing laws
required private employers to pay
higher rates for overtime work.
Clearly, Federal employees should
continue to receive compensation
for ov^'time work throughout the
war. Just as clearly, the Federal
Government after the war should
do everythingr it can to discourage
overtime work within the Government by providing for additional
compensation at higher rates of
pay. It will be necessary for all
employers, both public and private, to follow such a policy if the
goal of full employment is to be
achieved.
Consequently, before the present
overtime pay law expires on June
30, 1945, a permanent law should
be enacted for salaried employees
which would—
(a) Authorize additional pay at
IVfe times the regular rate for
all employm«it in excess
40 hours in any administrative work week; a n d
(b) Provide that overtime pay
should be cmnputed accGi^:]ing
to a formula that converts
per-annum rates to hourly
rates by dividing by 2080 (52
weeks times 40 hours).
—Salaried e m ^ y e e s who work
regularly at nifirt should be
paid at rates 10 per cent
higher than day rates for tbe
saane kind of employment.
Heads of agencies can, in tit-
3
ing rates of pay lor persons paid
on a per-diem or hourly basis,
provide that persoiu who work a t
night shall receiye higher rates
of pay t h a n persons engaged i n
the same type of employment during the day.
S o m e Federal emi^oyees who
receive annual salaries for their
work also are cmnpensated; a t
higher rates of pay when they
work regularly during night hours.
The prevailing practice in private industry is to compensate e m ployees a t higher rates of pay
when they are called upon to woiic
during night hours.
All salaried Federal employees
should be compensated at higher
rates of pay when called upon t o
work dnring night hours Just as
some Federal salaried employees
are now compensated, a n d Just as
most Federal employees paid o n
a per-diem or hourly basis a n d
employees of private organiaations
are now compensated.
—Immediately fonowing
ttie
war, all Federal employees
w h o are required t o work o n
national holidays should be
paid for snch work at I H
times the rate for ordinary
days.
U n d e r existing law, private e m ployers holding w a r c o n t r a c t s a r e
required to c o m p e n s a t e t h e i r e m ployees in t h i s m a n n e r .
Surely, w h a t g o v e r n m e n t r e quires private employers t o do f o r
their
employees,
government
should be willing to do f o r its
own employees.
—Definite steps should be taken
to assure t h a t salaried Federal employees in the field
service of the Federal Government receive equal pay for
equal work.
All persons acquainted with
Federal pay practices recognize
that ttie present situation i n t h e
field service, a s far as salaried
employees are concerned, c a n be
described by just one word, namely, chaotic. Because of manpower
shortages, agencies are i n m a n y
instances engaged i n vigOTous
competitive bidding for the aervioes of employees.
T h e same controls which exist
in the departmental service, i n so
far a s the classification
positions for salary purposes is concerned, cannot be extended to t h e
field during the war.
l l i e Congress can, however,
specify t h a t any standards f6r

NEW YORK—With the Sixth
War Loan Drive nearing the h a l f way mark, the employees of the
War Department Office of Dependency Benefits have already purchased more t h a n 90 per cent of
the cash quota of $175,000, according to Brig. Gen. H. N Gilbert, Director.
ODB employees are spurred to
new efforts by a huge pictorial
chart in the Concourse of Nations.
Each branch of the huge war
agency is represented <m this
chart by a bomb poised t o drc^?
on enemy territory below. As the
branch exceeds its quota b y 120
per cent, the bomb drops and is
pictured as exploding. The b<»nb
representing Fiscal Division Headquarters was the first to explode.
There are now 11 explosions
shown on the exhibit, indicating
that 11 branches of the ODB have
gone more than 120 per cent over
their quotas. And 15 more bombs
are poised directly on their targets, indicating 100 per cent or
more for their branches.
Displays
Many of the branches in both
the Family Allowance Division
and the Class E Allotment Division liave originated their own
displays to spur sales of bonds.
Outstanding among these are: a
coffin for the Hitler gang, into
which employees are allowed to
drive a nail upon purchase of a
bond; a cliart depicting a dam in
progress of construction, under
the slogan "Let's Dam the Enemy;" and a chart showing little
jeeps on their way to Berlin and
Tokyo, each jeep a bond purchased by employees of
that
branch.
Almost $146,000 a month is
now deducted from the pay of
ODB employees for the purchase
of war bonds pleclgeU in previous
drives.

The Swoon Perfume
Floors the Boys
WASHINGTON — Girif ot Department of Interior have been
asked to not use bigh-octane perfume around the office and save
H for the boy friend after hoars.
If said » was hoped that gals
would get large bottles of the
stuff from the boy friends for
Chrlslwas b«t to save it for thMi.
"Smell sweet, yes," they were
•dvlsed. "but stick to the lighter
houeysuekle or flower sceats."
Commission shall be binding on
all agencies w h « i it comes t o
classifying tbeir field positions.
A t tbe same time, the Congress
« a n authoriae t h e Commissi<Ni t o
post-audit actions taken by the
agencies t o determine whether
they are i n confwTnity with t h e
standards. T h e Congress can provide further that, if tiie Civil
Service Commission finds t h a t
Jobs are not being ckussified i n a c cordance with standards, it can
direct t h a t immediate adjustments be made.
—The ttieeative braack abovld
have m w c freedom i n determining t h e rates of pmy,
within the eeilings established by the Congress, at which
employees may be hired.
At present, for example, if tiie
Federal Government is in the
process of hiring someone for a
top-ranking administrative job, it
must decide whether to hire him
a t $6,500 a y^ar or a t $8,000 a
year. It is prohibited by law from
hiring h i m at $7,000 or at $7,500
a year.
Such a situation is unsound.
T h i s situation and other comparable ones could be corrected if
Congress would pass a law giving
the Commission the right to establish entrance rates of pay
above the minimum now provided,
but within the ceilings established
by Congress for separate classes
of
positions
within
existing
grades.
—Salaried employees of tibe
Federal Government who do
satisfactory work should be
givtti m saJary increase every
12 months in t h e lower-salaried groups and every 18
months i n the higher-salaried
groups within the salary eeilings established by the Congress.
At the present time, employees
who perform their work satisfactorily cannot look forward to any
salary increases on their present
jobs until they have worked for
18 months, if they are in the
lower-salaried groups, and 30
months, if they are in the highersalaried groups. This
waiting
period should be reduced to 12
and 18 months.
In addition, agencies should be
placed in a position where they
will have more flexibility in
granting increases in salary for
especially meritorious services.
—A law should be pased providing for cash awards for
employees in all agencies for
suggestions which le%d to outstanding improvements in the
efficiency of the Federal Government.
At the present time some agencies have been given authority by
the
Congress to grant such
awards. Other agencies have no
authority to take such action.
They should lie given such
thority.
au-
SEPARATION OF
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
—^Federal employees should be
made eligible for unemployment compensation benefits
either under a Federally administered s y s t ^ n of unemployment compensation or in
accordance with t h e provisions
of the District of Columbia
unemployment compensation
law.
Employees of private industry
are in a position to claim unemployment compensation benefits
during the transition from a war
to a post-war economy. They are
in a position to claim such benefits by virtue of laws placed upon
t h e statute books by the Congress
a n d the various State legislatures.
Employees of the Federal Government should, likewise, be i n a
position where they c a n claim unemployment c<»npensation benefits if they find themselves out of
work during the transition from
a war to a post-war economy.
N o legitimate reascms c a n be a d vanced for drawing a line of demarcation in this respect I}etween
Government workers and those
who work for private industry.
Any law designed to carry out
this recommendation should provide that the Federal employee
who worked in one part of the
country will receive the same treatm e n t as the Federal employee
who worked in another part of
the country. Many Federal employees have, in response to the
request of the Government, moved
form one part of the country to
another i n order to render more
effective service to the war program. No unemployment compensation law should be passed which
would have the result, in some
instances, of penalizing employees
who were willing to move to a
part of the country where they
could make a more direct contribution to the war program.
The Commission feels, therefMre,
that the provisions of the District
of Columbia imemployment compensation law should be made applicable to Government employees
wherever they m a y lie employed.
T h e law itself, however, should
be administered through the existing State unemployment compensation organization.
—If Federal employees are not
provided with unemployment
compensation iM-otecUon, they
should be granted a 90-day
dismissal wage.
Tlie Civil Service Commission
believes that the most effective
way of
assisting
Government
workers in making the transition
from war to peace is to bring
them under an unemployment
compensation system.
If, however, this protection Is
not accorded by the Congress,
then Federal employees should be
given a 90-day dismissal wage
which they can use for the purpose of assisting t h e m in this
transition period. - S u c h a wage
should, of course, be paid only
to those persons who are involuntarily separated without fault
of their part as a result of reduction-in-force programs.
—Federal workers should be ineluded in any law providing
for the payment of transportation to war workers from
their present places of employment back to their h<Hnes.

Double Standard
For Public Employees
W
HAT goes on here?
The State's Attorney General interprets the
State Labor Law — which reads that women
should be paid the same salary as men for the same
work as not applying to employees of the State and
municipalities. The legislators who wrote that law say
they never meant to exclude public employees. Competent
legal opinion this week questioned the logic of the Attorney General's ruling, and held it wouldn't stand up in
court.
Why do some officials so constantly insist on treating public employees as though they were somehow a
lesser breed than other citizens?
Take a few examples:
Practically everbody else is entitled to the protection of unemployment insurance—but not public employees.
Practically everybody else who works overtime gets
paid time-and-a-half—but not public employees, who are
expected to work overtime at straight time, or often for
nothing.
Practically all who work have seen substantial raises
in pay during the war—but not public employees.
If an employer in private industry shifts an employee
to a job in a new area, it is accepted that he will pay the
moving costs. But if an employee working (say) in Albany
is told he must shift to Buffalo, he pays the moving costs
out of his own pocket.
It's a curious kind of double standard. The State,
which should stand forth as an ideal employer, looks like
something quite the opposite.

New York State Out in Front
IT IS GRATIFYING to find, however, that New York
Jtate seems well out in front in matters of conditions surrounding State employment. I found that, of the major
idvantages of New York State employees — our Merit
Career System, Retirement, Compensation Insurance —
none have all three in the same degree of coverage and
•protection, and few have any two and some very little
if any. Salary rates in California are somewhat higher
^in the lower pay scales, which is encouraging in the light

particularly in the hospitals.

The wide success erf private industry in developing efficient employees from untrained material
has made a profound impression
on advocates of "in-service" training for public workers.
The unsettled conditions prevailing in recruitment for State
service at this time, the lack of
Interest in many proposed examinations, and the status of the
returning veteran are some of the
factors holding up development
of a n "in-service" program.
Central Canvassing
One activity the Civil Service
Commission intends to pursue
with vigor, however, is the central
canvassing of eligible lists to fill
appointments.
This method of
wcM'king lists for wanted emplo3rees was put into motion some
montlis ago a n d h a s proved of
value, it was said. I t had resulted
in saving in time for those
agencies that have used it and
has been welcomed by the candidates on many lists. The service
is purely voluntary, t h e Commission declining to force central
canvassing on any department

Canvass vs. Appointment
I F YOU ARE on a State civil
I service eligible list and are asked
•by a prospective appointing ofjjicer how soon you can report for
kwork, it is advisable to find out
[whether the letter in which the
f question is asked is a canvass let.ter or a letter of appointment. A
Icanvass letter merely seeks to find
out if you would be willing to
[accept appointment, if offered,
Iwhereas the letter of appoint[ment, as its name Implies, advises
f y o u t h a t y o u have Ijeen selected.
According to the long standing
[policy of the State Civil Service
'Department, if an eligible is u n rable to report for wcM-k within
[fifteen days after date of notice
I of appointment, he may be passed
jovei on the eligible list, but this
fifteen days is reckoned from the
I date when the eligible is definite| l y offered employment and not
[from the date when inquiry is
'made as to his willingness to acfcept employment.
Two Week's Notice
The fifteen day period allowed
I b y the State Civil Service Departl ment affords the appointee a n opIportunity to give two week's noItice to the employer he is leaving. Until an eligible is actually
notified of his appointment, it is
[inadvisable for him to give such
, notice. A canvass letter, merely
inquiring as to an eligible's avaii! ability, is not an offer of appoint[xnent, and an eligible should not
resign his job on the strength
'of it. Inability to report for work
within fifteen days a f t e r receipt
of such convass letter does not result in any loss of eligibility. This
policy has recently received judicial approval in a case involving
a n eligible on the list for Unemployment Insurance Referee.
Couldn't Report for Six Weeks
This eligible had indicated on a
canvass letter that he would be
willing to accept immediate appointment, if offered, and that h«»
would be willing to report for
work on a date six weeks later.
Ti-eating the eligible's statement
an indication of inability to rep o r t for work within fifteen days,
ftDd, therefore, as declination o f
appointment, the eligible's name
w a s skipped by the appointing
liutborlty MOd persons lower ou
the list were appointed. When the
eligible learned of these appointments h e brought suit.
Eligible Right But Without
Remedy
The Supreme Court of Albany
County, in a decision rendered
about six months after the argument. sustained the eligible's contention t h a t h e should not have
been ignored by the appointing
officer. The Court decided reluctantly, however, t h a t although
the eligible was right, there was
no existing vacancy to which the
eligible could be ordered appointed. The Court stated:
Court's Opinion
"It clearly appears f r o m the
answer interposed herein and the
exhibits attached thereto t h a t the
petitioner was not passed over in
tlie exercise of discretion vested
in the appointing officer ^ y the
Rules of Civil Service. He was excluded solely by reason of his
statement in the canvass letter
that he would be willing to appear
for work on December 1st.
"Such exclusion, for such reason, does violence to the principles of fairness and equal opportunity for public employment
which should underlie the administration of civil service. Nowhere in the canvass letter is it
stated t h a t the date which is
given in answer to the question,
when the applicant would be willing to appear for work, would
have a determining effect upon
the matter of appointment. Nowhere, therein, is It stated that
the Rules required the giving of
a date not more t h a n two weeks
from the receipt of the canvass
letter. As a matter of fact, the
petitioner did signify his willingness to accept immediate employment. He did not state that he
was unwilling to report to work
immediately if that should be
necessary in order to secure the
appointment. The form of the
question, as framed by the respondents, indicated that a personal preference as to the date
for the commencement of employment might be stated. Nowhere in
the form, is there any indication
that time is of the essence. On

Court Tried to Decide In Favor
of Eligible
"For the foregoing reasons, the
Court has delayed decision of this
motion, expending considerable
time a n d effort to find a legal
basis for granting relief to the
petitioner. It is the opinion of
the court t h a t the petitioner has
been deprived, through no fault
of his own, of the opportunity iot
public employment which he has
sought, and for which he has
shown his fitness. Despite such
opinion, the Court is convinced
that no relief can be given to him
in this proceeding.
"The inescapable fact Is that
the position which the petitioner
seeks has been filled. There is no
vacancy to which h e can be appointed. The respondents are without power to create such vacancy,

New York City Hospital (19071909), then took up a private
practice (1909-1912) in Blairstown, New Jersey, and Pine Bush,
New York. Evidently, the contacts made at Gowanda State
Hospital impressed the doctor and
were a factor in his acceptance of
a position on the Medical Staff of
the Matteawan St^te Hospital in
1912. He served the State at M a t teawan as Junior Senior and Temprorary First Assistant Physician,

Att'y Cen, Rules: (1) Female Employees May Be Paid Less;
(2) Salary Board Needn't Explain Its Decisions; (3) No Court Review
ALBANY—It is purely optional with the State Salary
Standardization Board either
to observe or ignore provisions of the Todd Law prohibiting pay discrimination
between male and female
employees doing like work,
Attorney General Goldstein
ruled this week.
however, the 1044 statute is an expression of public policy which may well be
read together with the more general expression of the 1037 statute when your
Board is acting upon oases under the
authorization therein contained. The specific cases you mention, of prison matrons
and women parole agents, necessarily depend upon facts not yet in evidence, and
will be for your Board to decide if and
vhen those cases are properly presented.
S. Tour second question ia atated in
70ur letter aa follows:
"Is the Board under any obligation to
make public its findings in cases upon appeal. Appellants frequently roquest the findings of the Board on
the substance of their appeals and
are not satisfied merely with notice
that the appeal has been denied."
Afl will be noted below relatiTe to
/our third question, the law does not require a bearing at which evidence ia
taken, or prescribe the form of the Board's
decision, and ordinarily it will not be subject to judicial review. Under those circumstances the judicial doctrine which
makes findings of fact essential in many
determinations of boards and

Temporary Salary Standardization Board,
Boom 113, The Capitol,
Albany 1. N. Y.
fipiitlemeii:
Your letter of November SI presents
three questions for my opinion, as follows:
1. Does L. 1944, e. 793. prohibting: pay
discrimination because of sex (Ivabor Law
I 108. 109-a), apply to State employees? And if it does not, does the
provision of L. 1937. c. 859, I 4, which
provides that your Board shall follow "the
principle of fair and equal pay for similar worli*' in makinir allocations therein
Ikuthorized, B<'fompli3h tho same result ae
to State employees?
It appears, as an
lllustrativo case, that your Board has
before it appeals from prison matrons at
certain prisons and reformatories for women, and they claim that they should receive the same wage scale as
paid to
prison gruai'ds in men's prisons. Another
case is that of women parole acrents, who
apparently are paid less than male parole
officers.
I advise you that the 1944 statute first
referred to, althougrh some sentences of
It express in very broad terms the principle of non-diserimination in wages because of sex, was tptt intended to be and
is not enfurcible against the State,
niis
conclusion is baaed, not only upon its
definition of "employment," but more particularly upon its enforcement provisions.
If the liOgislature had Intended that it be
•nforced against the State or its municipalities it seems apparent that some enforcement procedure would have been
provided other than recovery by the Labor
Commissioner from the offending employer of fifty dollars d v i l penalty lor
each violation.

applicable, and the Board can decide for
itself Whether it should make findings and
whether it should make them public or
furnish them to interested parties.
The
merits of making and furnishing auch
fiiidings are doubtless apparent to the
Board, and it can determine whether they
are outweighed by disadvantages in particular eases or In its general practice.
3. Tour third que-Jtion ie stated in your
letter as follows:
"The law gives to employees the right
to appeal within sixty days after
•alary allocation or reallocation. Does
this right extend to a rehearing or
supplemental hearing or filing of a
new appeal when the Board has acted
on the appeal to the extent of denying the appeal.
Haa the appellant
any right to appeal to the courts or
to request any information from the
Board in the matter."
My opinion upon the several t>ranchea
of this question la that the matter of
granting or refusing a rehearing or rapplemental hearing or acting on a new
application corering the same question
(which is apparently what la meant by
your reference to a "new appeal") or
furnishing information to the applicant
other than a statement of the action
taken, are all matters within the discre-
tion of the Board. In my opinion the
applicant is not ordinarily entitled to appeal to the courts for a judicial review
of the action taken.
This last conclusion le based npon the
language in | 4 of the 1037 statute which
prescribes the procedure to be followed by
the Board (as adde<} by I>. 1038, c. 408),
read in contrast with the language of
Civil Service Law | 48 (as added by the
same enactment), and particularly in the
light of the fact that the differences between those two procedural provisions were
deliberately made by amendments while
the bill was pending in the Legislature.
This conclusion is supported by tho case
of Matter of Levine T. Connelly, 267 App.
Div. 706 mem., app., den. 202 N. T
especially in view of the circumstance
that the Levine case arose under | 48.
The present opinion will not be protracted
by any extensive discussion of these matters, but it Is noted that the procedural
provisions of | 4, although they do not
explicitly say that the action of the Board
•hall be final and not subject to judicial
review (compare Civil Service Law I 22,
•ubdiv. 3, as added by L. 1041, c. 858),
deliberately omit language indicating that
the applicant ia entitled to a hearing before the Board, such as that he may present facts "orally or in writing," and say

Instead that be may present the facts "la
auch manner as may bo specified by tha ,
board."
In the original bill form tb« I
language was: "The board may hear, con-;
sider and determine any such application,'^'
but since amendment by L. 1041, o. 871;
it provides only: "Tho board shall «ok)> {
amine and review any such application.?
The result of action by the Board is mew^ ,
ly a recommendation, as is evidenced bgr,
the lang\ia(re: "Any reallocation recom^
mended by the board pursuant to this at
shall be filed forthwith with the governo.
for Inclusion, in his discretion, in the nexi
budget — — no such reallocation shall
be effective nntil such appropriation
made."
Saving due regard to these various
dications of legislative intention I advis
you that a person aggrieved by action
the Board ia not ordinarily entitled
judicial review of its action. For obviot
and arbitrary abuse of its powers, tli
courts may sometimes afford redress,
ordinarily the courts will hold, as tt
did in the Lerlne case previously me
tioned: "This was an administrative ma
ter with which the courts are loath
interfere.*'

Employees and adminisfrafors who work
for municipal departments shouldn't wait
for outsiders to do their post'War thinking
and planning for them. If you are engaged
in a community's police, welfare, health,
budget, fire, or recreation
work—your
thinking is needed now—before the war
ends. An author who is in constant touch
with local government outlines some of the
problems he finds.
r e t a i n competent a n d efficient
employees,
I n t e r - g o v e m m e n t Relations
•The relatiMi of local governm e n t to state a n d federal gove r n m e n t is a n o t h e r m a j o r problem. To meet t h e need for
greater revenue, t h e municipalities will have to decide whether
they should establish new sources
of taxation or delegate this f u n c tion to t h e state or federal government a n d receive a share of
t h e receipts. During t h e depression period, municipalities eagerly accepted assistance f r o m t h e
other levels of government. W h e n
t h e war came, the activities of
t h e federal a n d state governm e n t were f u r t h e r increased.
This tendency for increased centralization on the one h a n d , a n d
a demand for greater home rule
on t h e other, will have to be
resolved. Otherwise, municipalities will f i n d themselves continually losing presige and f u n c tions.
Public Relations
T h e post-war period will witness the resurgence of t h e activities of organized and pressure
groups, and new requirments by
t h e citizens of t h e community.
To handle these effectively, o f ficials of municipalities will have
to know public opinion better
a n d have t h e public know its
governmental
services
better.
This will involve t h e setting u p
of realistic public relations programs, a n d t h e stimulation of
citizen interest and participation
in government. T h e voluntary
citizen participation in war a c tivities is to be solicited for t h e
regular
municipal
activities.
Government reporting will have
t o be Improved, and civic education m a d e more effective a n d
universal.
Organization for Planning
Since municipalities will be
called upon t o h a n d l e a large
s h a r e of t h e process of reconversion to peace, it is i m p o r t a n t
t h a t they be properly organized
to deal with the post-war problems. T h e planning for tomorrow can be done either by (1)
a paid staff employed f o r this
purpose, or (2) a n outside consultant, or (3) t h e commimity
itself with some expert advice.
T h e recommended procedure is
one which will utilize as m u c h of
t h e local talent as possible.
Every citizen should be r e a c h ed for his ideas a n d suport of
t h e program. Every d e p a r t m e n t
of the municipality should prep a r e its plans f o r tomorrow. T h e
co-ordination of all t h i s e f f o r t
should be in t h e h a n d s of a planning board or committee which
will represent t h e various comm u n i t y Interests. T h e final plans
should be based on conferences
with officials, employees, a n d v a rious private groups.

efficient payroll handling will become f u r t h e r complicated a f t e r
J a n u a r y 1, 1945. W h e n t h e i n dividual income t a x act of 1944
goes into effect, determining e m ployees' taxes will be more complex t h a n it now is.
Because
tax
determination
must come first, less time will be
left for actual writing of t h e p a y roll. A new peak will develop—
unless preventative measures a r e
taken.

new ones, t h e Burroughs Addinc

Wondering How
To Get Out Your
Annual Report?
T h e a n n u a l report is the only
opportunity m a n y governmental
agencies have to acquaint t h e p u b lic, and other officials, with their
performance during the year.
Shortages of printing papers
and lack of skilled help have
m a d e it impossible for m a n y
bureaus to issue the printed booklets which formerly highlighted
t h e reports. B u t t h e A 3 . Dick
Company reports t h a t t h r o u g h
use of t h e mimeograph duplicator
a n attractive a n n u a l report c a n
be r u n off, and sufficient copies
m a d e to meet all demands.
Color, graphs, lettering and illustrations may be used to e m phasize all i m p o r t a n t points, a n d
the costs of mimeographed m a terial is f a r less t h a n printing.
A new folder, "How to Plan a n d
Publish the Annual Report" will
be interesting t o m a n y officials a n d
wnployees entrusted with t h e task
of preparing t h e a n n u a l s u m mary. I t h a s practical answers t o

-But Her Daddy's Still in the
Fight, and the War Bonds You
Bought Back in the Days of
Pearl Harbor are Still Needed
in the Fight, Too-for Victory!
R
EMEMBER this touching picture of a little
1 girl's farewell to her war-bound daddy?
Appearing shortly after Pearl Harbor, it touched
the hearts of millions of Americans and helped
to launch the greatest voluntary savings program
in all history.
That girl is three years older today. In that
time, our enemies have been pushed steadily
back toward their own frontiers . . . thanks in no
small measure to the overwhelming flood of tanks,
ships, planes and guns that more than 85 million
Americans have poured into the fight througli
their purchases of War Bonds.
But her daddy is still at war—tlie fight goes
on—the money youVe put into Bonds is still
needed, just as it was after Pearl Harbor. K E P T
IN T H E F I G H T - K E P T I N WAR B O N D S 1 r WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FOR VIC-
T O R Y - A N D FOR YOU.
For just as that little girl has grown, so have
the War Bonds you bought three years ago. The
$100 Bond you paid $75 for then is already
worth more than you paid—and how swiftly the
time has passed! In another year it will be worth
-at maturity, $100.
Here's money you'll need
later—for education, repairs, replacements, retirement—just as your
covmtry needs it today.
•

So let this picture reniind you — H O L D
T I G H T TO YOUR
BONDS!

DeForest's adaiitation is a whimsical
dramatization of the American war story
of 4 rood little rirlji, Acted by comparative newcomers to the New York

touch which is quaintly reminiscent ol
the American Music Hall's melo<lrams. The
Adam furniture, the modest costumes the
hirh moral plane and the whole goodyroody atmosphere ol the period seem
worlds awi^ from the jitterbug. Even with
