MANENY ON APPELLATE DIVISION RULING

MANENY ON APPELLATE DIVISION RULING.
George McAneny secretary OF the Civil Service
Reform Associa ton asked yesterday about the
ruling OF the Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court for the Third District 20 the effect that a
State or civil officer in making appointments from
the Civil Service lists is not required TO take the
first man on the list but may select any OF three
persons thus named.
Mr. McAneny said that the ruling applied only
10 Offices in the Third Department Of the Supreme
Court, and that in other parts Of the State the
Civil Service Commissioners would continue TO en-
force the law without reference to this decision
He said that unquestionably there would he an ap-
peal taken 10 the Court OF Appeals. Both sides
were anxious to have dehntve ruling on the ques

there was strong ground for the decision. and II
