spectOr.

The Board of Health met last night
and appointed DIR. William c. HassleI
from the civil service eligible list to sue
ceed DR.. William P. Chalmers. HassleI
received the unanimous vote of the five
members of the board, although DR.. A
S. Keenan, was nominated by DR.. Levitt
A scheme was concocted to secure the
reappointment of Chalmers to the posi-
ton, although he stood fifth on the eligi-
bic list and was too low down to be
among the first three TO be certified by
the Civil Service Commission. When the
results Of the examination were an
nounced there were five eligibles for the
position, which pays a salary of $15O per
month. They were William G. Hassler
g6.6 per cent; Alexander S. keenan,, 95.S;
Il. II. Stable, 94.5 w. L. Athey, S5.3, and
William ?. Chalmers, 827.
1t was ascertained by the commission
that an understanding had been arrived
mers on the list that they would with

certified for the place and thus secure
reappolntment. keenan, sent a letter to

When the Board of Health made reuui-
Sltlon Tor three eligibles the names of
hassler, Keenan, and Athey were certi-
ned: Athey thereupon petitioned the
civil Service Commission to waive eerti-
hcation. This would have permitted the
certification of Chalmers as the third, to-
gether with Hassler and keenan,, but the
commission denied Athey's petition and
Chalmers was thus crowded out.
Athey, with the evident desire of help
ing Chalmers, thereupon sent a communi-
cation to the Civil Service Commission
resigning from the list altogether The
commission also held a meeting last
night, but postponed action on his re-
quest until this afternoon. It's action will
not affect the result, however, as the
pointment "P
