The Civil Service Commissfon Makes
Rule for City EmpIoyes-New
System Of Grading.

Al q special meeting of the civil SER
vice commission, held Friday night for
the purpose OF generally revising the
present civil service rules. 1t was decided
to make failure to pay Just debts a
ground for dismissal from the city en-
ploy. 1t was charged that several en-
ployes of the city had taken advantage
Of the fact that their wages were exempt
from garnfshment and had refused to
give attention to their debts. The COM
mission devised the foregoing solution
OF the difficulty.
Most of the changes in the rules are
Of minor Importance, being merely the
revision OF the Nresent rules with tho OBJ
Ject of making the meaning more clear.
A new system OF grading city employees
was, however, adopted.
Under the present arrangement there
arc six grades, ranging from those re-
ceiving less than 500 a year called the
first grade: to those drawing more than
$50 a month, the sixth grade require
