WASHINGTON. July s-The civil SER
Vice commission has made public is let
ter TO the secretary OF the treasury, OF
June y. last. esking that the comptroller
OF the treasury be requested 10 review his
recent decision in the matter OF the alleged
Illegal appointment OF deputy United
States marshals. In the course OF his de-
c.sion. the comptroller said.
i Will not 30 back Of the certificate Of
appointment by the head OF department
or appointing power where no direct law
has been violated. and attempt to ascer-
tain whether such oficer. in making such
appointment. has disregarded some rule OF
regulation OF the civil service commission
or rule or regulation OF his own regarding
the classified service.
81 prefer TO let the responsibility rest
where II rightfniiy belongs and follow the
precedent OF years In my Office to recog-
nise the certificate Of appointment OF the
head OF the department or other appoint
ing power to cff1ce or place. where such
appointment IL not in violation of law or
without authority Of law.
You are authorized to pay such deputy
X his account In all other respects 10 cor
rect
The commissioners in their letter contend
that the appointments under consideration
were made in violation Of the express
terms OF the law and quote numerous
authorities to show that the rules and
regulations have all the force and effect
OF law and that exceptions TO these rules
and regulations can be legally made only
In the manner provided by the law. The
letter concludes as follows:
Thus from another point Of view also
We must arrive at the same conclusion as
indicated in the early part OF this deeis-
ion, namely, % that the comptroller does
not intend 10 hold that. 30 long as q POSI-
ton in the classified service Is not except
ed from the requirements incident thereto.
an appointment can be male to such POSI-
ton without compliance with the proyis-
ions of the civil service laws and rules
requiring such appointment to be made
through examination and certification by
the commission. and Co consequently the
only question left at issue Is how, II at
ice can be legally excepted or withdrawn
from the requirements OF law incident to
its classification.
And Il has already been pointed out, In
the frst part Of this communication ~
that the law prescribed . certain definite
manner In which only the position can Be
thus withdrawn or excepted; CD that In
the case before the comptroller. the posi-
ton was not withdrawn or excepted In the
manner prescribed, and 60 consequently
the conclusion cannot be escaped that the
appointment to the position in . manner
contrary to that prescribed was Illegal
and void and hence the person appointed
was not entitled to any compensation or
emolunent accruing 10 the ONCE"
