THE CITY COLLEGE AND CIIL SERVICE.

Acting Corporation Counse! William /" Turner
sent a reply yesterday 10 General Alexander S.
Webb president Of the College Of the city of New
York who had asked the Corporation Counsel
whether not the president instructors and other
employees Of the college were subject to civil Ser
vice regulations and must be appointed after COM
pctitivc examination. Mr.. Turner declares that
the college is neither a State nor municipal institu-
ton and is therefore subject TO the provisions
Of the Civil Service law
Mr. Turner shows that the acts OF the Legislat-
ure make the college a part OF the State University
system. nevertheless. its position is unique and
peculiar. Although IT is supported by the public. II
has he says. under the law creating II peculiar
privileges and rights. and cannot be classed be-
longing either 10 the State or the city.
Incidentally Mr.. Turner refers to the employees
Of the Metropolitan Museum OF Art, and says that
they do not come under the Civil Service laws be-
cause the Institution IL under private control al
though supported In large measure by public
money. The opinion ends with the statement that
none OF the employees OF the College of the City of
N,w-Yor can be held TO be subject TO any of the
provisions Of the Civil Service law.
