Can NYC Automatic Promotion Idea Work?
Many of the New York City employees who viewed a
system of automatic promotions as an answer to the problem of stagnation on a city job, wonder what has happened to the proposal.
A LEADER survey of t h e situation indicates t h a t failure of any
employee organization t o p u t its

Stalled t h e movement.
However, several organizations
jpwnong City employees still have
t h e subject on their agenda. After
spirited discussion a t a recent
pieeting, t h e active Engineering

Employees, AFL, explains t h a t h e
didn't favor t h e plan, but only
because h e felt t h a t it didn't solve
t h e problems.
Said R a n e n : "A system of automatic promotions wouldn't solve
t h e problems, so long as a promo-
tion in t h e New York City civil
service doesn't m e a n a promotion
to a position with added duties

T h e r e is little use in discussing
automatic promotions when, u n d e r
t h e present system, there is no
relationship between a n employee's grade a n d his duties. P e r sons have been sitting a t t h e same

Urgent! Take a War Job
For Only Three Months
This is urgent. This is MUST reading for every person
with a skill not now employed fully in the furtherance
of the war, and for those who wish to become trainees.
Read carefully. Then act. Officials to whom this reporter
has talked state frankly that the length of the war can
be materially affected by the response to this message—
whether it's positive or negative.
Cengrcssffloa Robert Ramspeek, wko probed the Federal service, fount
tome spots whlek weren't all they should be. One thing his report
praised highly Is the merit award plan, under which employees get
paid for money-saying and time-saving suggestions.

To the men and women in Government, let 1945
bring public recognition of their work in expediting the
war, of their courageous and unsung deeds.
To these men and women, let the coming year bring
some of the better things of democracy: higher pay, unemployment compensation, and security at the war's end.
Let the postal workers win their .$400 permanent
increase.
Let the employees of New York State, of New York
City, of the Federal government, emerge with a better
pay structure, so that they too may enjoy the results of
their labor against the high cost of everything.
Greetings to those employee organizations which are
working with sincerity and courage for the betterment of
the public servant. Greetings to the administrators who
try to do a sincere job in the public interest.
Greetings to the President of the United States; to
the Governor of the State of New York; to the Mayor of
New York City.
But to the enemies of free peoples eveiywhere, may
1945 bring the bitter fruit of the evil seed they have
sown; and may freedom, an end for which life itself is
not too heavy a price, flower more brilliantly than ever
before in history.

Short Course in Municipal Purchasing
By JOSEPH W. NICHOLSON
City Purchasing Agent, Milwaukee, Wis.
SMALL cities can benefit through
centralized purchasing if they follow the general p a t t e r n of procedures in use by most large cities.
T h e purchasing function requires
specialized control and supervision. If a n n u a l amounts spent
for materials, equipment and service are as little as $100,000 it
would w a r r a n t the employment of
a full time purchasing official,
because he- could save from 10%
to 15% of the tax dollar budgeted for these purposes. Moreover
he could facilitate and improve'
municipal services.
Public purchasing officials strive
to achieve the objective of obtaining the most suitable article
for the purpose, having it on h a n d
when needed, preserving competition, paying no more t h a n a legitimate wholesale price, and paying bills promptly so t h a t cash
discounts are no': lost.
Authority to Purchase Needed
To accomplish this let us as-
sume the town plans to designate
someone to take over the buying
function as a full or p a r t time
job. To insure success, he must
be given full authority to act as
a n agent, with such limitations
as the law or your governing body
may establish. T h a t is, h e may
be required to refer all purchases
over a certain figure, say $500 or
$1,000 to the mayor, the city m a n ager or the council of aldermen.
T h e governing body should establish purchasing policies which
should include a provision for t h e
obtaining or full competition
whenever practicable. Sealed bids
should be solicited from qualified
bidders, opened publicly a t stated
times and the i-esults posted in a
conspicuous place. Awards should
be made as promptly as possible
thereafter, and these should also
be noted on the posted t a b u l a tions. You will need a) lists of
qualified vendors, b> specifications, c) bid forms, d) special

DeaUng^ With Vendors
Wlien vendors call they should
be referred to the Pui-chasing
Agent. This will save everyone's
time. If t h e vendor proves to be
responsible, his n a m e is listed u n der a commodity class such as
plumbing,
electrical,
drygoods,
automotive, etc. If h e h a s a s a m ple t h a t some d e p a r t m e n t heads
should see, the Purchasing Agent
would refer h i m to interested p a r ties. Advertising literature can
also be sent to d e p a r t m e n t heads
to Iceep t h e m posted on new articles a n d methods.
Use of Standards and
SpecificatiMis
T h e purchasing agent should
accumulate a n d assist in developing s t a n d a r d s and specifications
which can be used ia competitive
bidding. Grood specifications a r e
available from many sources. The
National Bureau of S t a n d a r d s h a s

municipal requirements. Copies
are obtainable f r o m t h e U. S.
Printing Office, Washington 25,

states and large cities. When
vendors lose an order in f a i r competition, they are satisfied, but if
they think favoritism h a s been
shown, they become resentful.
Therefore good specifications are
essential to good buying a s well

Need for Inspection
Unless there is adequate inspection, a n d when necessary,
testing of delivered materials, t h e
good intentions of honest public
officials a n d vendors may be circumvented by careless shipping
clerks or t h r o u g h deliberate vendor misrepresentation a n d t m d e r iiandedness. Goods delivered by
the lowest bidder may fall below
grade or m a y be short in count
or weight. There m a y be connivance a n d linageling with your
employees so they accept less m e r chandise t h a n t h e purchase order

proper storage to prevent loss

essential.
Tests and "WUUng to Certify"
Lists of Vendors
If quahty cannot be determined
by examination or simple physical
test, a n d the amount, value or
type of the material w a r r a n t s t h e
expenditure, a laboratory test
could be a r r a n g e d with t h e n e a r est university, large city or commercial laboratory.
Upon request t h e Natiojial B u reau of S t a n d a r d s will supply you
with a list of "Willing to Certify"
vendors, t h a t is, vendors who will
certify to their customers t h a t t h e
products they deliver comply with
t h e National Bureau of S t a n d a r d s
specifications. If you use this list
in requesting bids, you merely
state t h e specification number
and require each bidder to certify
t h a t any deliveries h e m a y m a k e
as a result of these bids would
comply with t h e specifications
used. I n the case of f r a u d u l e n t
certifications, recourse can be h a d
in civil courts.

of uncovering unsuspected p a t h o logical conditions a n d segregating potential infectors for t r e a t m e n t a n d early rehabilitation.
Public agencies are behind in
this movement—the New York
City Police Department is one of
t h e few agencies which offers
this service to its staff, but new
equipment now available should
bring this service within t h e
reach of t h e average small community, or large municipal d e partment.

How to Get More
Pressure Out of

W h e n increased pressure is
needed in existing water lines, i t
is no longer necessary to p u r chase

costly
booster pumping stations, a n d
provide extra p u m p a t t e n d a n t s .
Instead, t h e main may be cut
a t any point—at a street i n t e r section, on a boulevard or in a n
alley, and a submersible p u m p i n stalled in a small pit.
Other Advantages
Flooding cannot damage t h e
motor or pump, f i r e h a z a r d is
eliminated, thievery is stopped.
No a t t e n d a n t is required as t h e r e
are no stuflBng boxes t o pack, or
lubricating devices to check. I n stallation is entirely noiseless,
completely automatic, and m a y
easily be insulated against subnormal temperatures.
T h e cost of a pit adequate f o r

A girl typist operating a VariTyper, does, in one day, a n
a m o u n t of lettering which would
take four or five d r a f t s m e n a day
to complete. One Western community reports t h a t it was able
to save the purchase cost of t h e
equipment in 19 working days.
Uniformity
Among other advantages, is
listed uniformity. Because vari«
typing is machine lettering, every
letter and figure Is uniformly
clear and distinct. Errors due to
mis-reading of poor h a n d letter^
Ings are minimized, and fewei
drawings a n d tracings have t
be rejected.

Release Statement
The Article "The"
The phrase in the
Department
Is construed to mean your own
department. If the Commission
had used the indefinite article
a department
they would perhaps
have been justified in marking
my paper by using a key answer
from another department
(although I doubt whet"»er the commission has a legal right to grade
jiapers in that manner). By marking our papers in accordance with
a key answer from the Sanitation
Department, The Civil Service
Commission assumes that question to be a general question in
personnel management and there
again the scope of the examination was ignored.
On November 15, 1944, The Civil
Service Commission announced a
promotion to Civil Service examiner.
Salary $3,000 and over.
Among the duties required to perform are to "prepare job analysis,
job classification, perform other
related work," etc., etc. Does the
Civil Service Commission give the
same type of examination for a
4th Grade Clerk as for a Civil
Service Examiner?
Wants to Know Why
It is evident that two similar
departments have received different questions on P a i t 2B. Why?
Was the Civil Service Commission
inclined to be favorable to one
department; or peihaps the examinations were made in a flipflap manner without foresight, or
perhaps without any knowledge
of the functions in those departments.
Why does the C?ivil Service
Commission give the same type of
1 question for a 4th Grade Clerk as

It
clearly states that a statement of
specific tasks and duties ai'e required of a clerk Grade IV in your
board (Meaning the Board of Assessors). This question is within

In the name of fairness, honest
competition, and on behalf of our
merit system, I urge ttie Civil
Service Commission t o re-grade
the answers submitted to questions 11 and 12.
This Christmas and New Year
could be made happier to many
City employees who were unjustly failed on their examination.
Some of the employees have devoted twenty years of faithful
service to the City in the same
grade. Many have been on promotion lists but were never advanced. Most of the candidates
have received a good mark on
P£U-t 1 and excellent marks on the
first 5 questions; only to be failed
because of one questimi—and an
unjust question at that.

emergency, and for six months

The NYC Civil Service Commission last week gave t h e B o a r d
of Transportation permission to
assign conductors to this type of
work in order to meet manpower
shortages. Previously, a conductor,
who wished to take a duration Job
