be averted by adoption of th e idea.
T his is Mr. H iggins’ second M erit

a central agency be established to
supervise th e op eratio n and m a in ­

A ppointing Procedures

ju st been g ran te d C ertificates of
M erit by th e New Y ork S ta te E m ­

tion in all school districts of the
S tate. T his is Mr. S ears second
m erit aw ard u n d er th e Em ploy­

ust 1947 he received a cash aw ard
of $50 for suggested am endm ents
to th e E ducation Law relative to
th e collection of school taxes.
Mr. R obinfon’s aw ard was g ra n ­
ted in recognition of th e conI .structive proposals whi^>i he ad' vanced to aid in th e rec ru itm en t
of personnel in sh o rt supply for
S ta te service.
B oth Ml-. S ears’ an d M r. Robinto n ’s ideas were outside th e scope
of th e ir regular duties an d re ­
sponsibilities.
Miss R. K lein, a ty p ist in th e
New Yoi’k Office of T h e S ta te I n ­
suran ce F un d, found th a t a cer­
ta in form le tte r used by h e r office
often required th e ad dition of su p ­
plem ental inform ation. Due to th e
set-up and spacing of th e form ,
such postscripts could very well
resu lt in confusion to in su ran c e
claim an ts as to th e ir corns of

Miss K lein recom m ended speci­

S ta te Civil Service Com m ission
adop ted a rule providing for th e

for th e filling of one vacancy.
T his gave th e appo inting a u th o r­

also te ste d in th e courts. I n th e
case of People v. G affney (142

I t should be noted t h a t th e
one - o u t _ of - th re e rule applies
in th e ap p o in tm e n t of v eteran s of
equal preference. Hence, if th e re
are th re e disabled v eteran s on a

ever, if th e re are two disabled

t h a t th e holding of a n ex a m in a­

The Massachusetts State E m ­

arguments.
Dr. Tolman’s response to the

Mayor showed sympathy with the

the Mayor soon again.
Mr. Patterson displayed more
than mere Interest, rather a heart­

and explained that his aide, who
handles the Fire Department bud­

today (Tuesday), whereupon both
of them would get together on the
Officers’ case, and the matter
would be discussed again with the

the N Y C area there are more
than 200,000 persons earning their
livelihoods as typists because they
have no knowledge of stenography.
A knowledge of stenography would
greatly Increase their salaries, and
break down, also, the monotonous
pressure that typists experience.
Realijsing this, the Royal School,
1395 Broadway, NYC, starts a fall
session, offering a complete steno­
graphy course in 10 weeks. This
special stenographic course will
be an addition to their 16 other
business courses now being offered.
Professor Morris Edwynne, a
Pitmatic specialist for more than
40 years, Morris Wahle, a noted
reporter and teacher, and Miss
LeCrann, Gregg Instructor, will
conduct these classes at the Royal
School during the Fall Term.

Sanitation Employees
Get Awards from O'Dwyer
Mayor William O ’Dwyer and
William J. Powell, Commissioner
of Sanitation, presented medals
and other awards on the City Hall
steps to employees of the Depart­
ment of Sanitation. The recipients
during the past year performed
acts beyond the line of duty.
The annual ceremony not only
paid tribute to men wl^o risked
their lives to help others, in fire
hazards, or as Salvatore Porpora
did, in aiding the police to cap­
ture a criminal, but also honors
the memory of members of the
department who died In the per­
