VHALEN on THE TERRY DECISION.
aNTERPRETs IT TO MEAN THAT THERE ARE NO
CIVIL. SERVICE RULES IN OPERATION
IN THE CITY.

CORPORATION Counsel Whalen said yesterday that
fhe decision OF the Appellate Division or the SUI
preme Court last Friday. In the case OF Terry
against the city. had important effect on the
Civil Service law inasmuch as II held that the
city was undo; the Civil Service law provided by
the charter. ADD affected by the Black law.
even after July This is the point that has been
at issue between the city officials and the advocates
OF Civil Service reform. and which was not passed
upon by the Court OF Appeals in the case OF Leet
against Keller and the city.
Mr. Whalen said: The Appellate Division has held
that the State law does not apply 10 the city. that
the city is taken OF the State law by the charter
and has never been brought back into the state
system, so far the Civil Service Ia concerned
The decision also holds that the provision of the
State law Of 1895 which forbids the dismissal or
any person whose position is classified as com
peiitive does not apply even II 1t were true, as
contended that pending the failure to submit the
rules to the State Board. there were no Civil Ser
vice rules. because II there were no Civ.l Service
rules existing there be no competitive lists under
them The effect of the decision is that any per-
son may be dismissed without trial or hearing
from any position under the city government. I'M
less ne is protected by the Veteran law. or by the
provision of the charter requiring hearing In the
case Of the head OF bureau or regular clerk In
deed II may he said that there seems 10 be no
escape from this conclusion because II there are
evident there can be classification or positions
under them. II may be noted that the position or

Here Is the Dog Since time began
The Dog has been the friend OF Man.
The Dog loves Man because he shears
His coat and clips his tail and ears
Man loves the Dog because he'll stay
And listen to his talk all day,
And wag his tail and show delight
At all his jokes, however trite.
His bark is far worse than his bite.
So people say. They may be right;
Yet If TO make a choice I had,
I'd choose his bark. however bad
