DECISIONS IN POLICE CASES.
JUSTICE DICKEY HANDS DOWN ONE FOR AND
ONE AGAINST BLUECoATs.

Justice Dickey of the Supreme Court Yesterday
handed down two decisions of special interest to
policemen. AS the result of two suits against the
Municipal Civil Service Commission the plaintiff
won In one case and in the other a decision was
given for the defendant. In the first case AL
phonse Rheaume, patrolman. was assigned to the
Central Office Bureau detective-sergeant and
his pay was held up Decision was given in his
favor as there is provision in the charter ex-
pressly providing for such assignment. A writ
commanding the Civil Service Commission to certify
the payroll containing the name of the relator
forthwith was accordingly allowed.
Regarding the suit brought by Frederick NJ
kaVanagh and four other patromen who were
assigned by the Chief of Police TO dc duty as
roundsmen, a writ against the Civil Service Com
missioners to compel them certify the payrolls
was refused, and this memorandum was handed
down by Justice Dickey:
1t appears to me that the Civil Service Commits
sion are justified IN their refusal TO certify The
charter OF Greater NeW-YOrk provides a new and
complete scheme for the police force and creates
lhe once OF roundsman, separate and distinct from
patronan, with a salary of 81 800. as against
N,40O for patrolman. The increase Of salary from
one place TO the other makes il a promotion The
White civil Service law is controlling. The Chief
patromen TO duty roundsmen The Board Of
Police alone may promote from one grade to the
other, and in doing 1t must conform to the Civil
Service rules.
