FAvORS RAISE
IN ACE LIMIT
Civil Service Board to
Submit a Charter
Amendment.

The Board of Civil Service Commission
ers is considering the advisability Of pre-
senting an amendment to the section of
the charter which provides that all per-
sons appointed to positions in the fire
department must be not less than q nor
more than 35 years of age.
The proposed amendment, which will be
filed with the Committee ON Charter
Amendments of the Board of Supervisors
for final submission to the people, contem-
plates the raising of the maximum age
limit required for fire department en-
ployes from 35 to 40 years.
This action on the part of the Civil Ser
vice Commission was prompted yesterday
by the application of a former locomo-
tive engineer on the Southern Pacific
Railroad for permission to take the next
partment. On being asked his age the ap-
plicant told Chief Examiner Moran that
he was SO years of age. The applicant
was thereupon informed that under the
charter, which set the age limit at 30
years, he was barred from holding a, posi-
ton in the fire department and therefore
could not take the examination.
The applicant appeared surprised, and
after Commissioner Freud had corrobo-
rated Moran's Interpretation of the char
ter he proceeded to impart some informa-
ton which may impel the commission to
endeavor to effect a radical change in the
age requirement mentioned. He declared
that locomotive engineers generally did not
become really competent until after they
had passed the age of S5, and he charac-
teriZed the fixing of the age limit by the
charter at that figure as absurd. He con-
tended that the same responsibility de-
volved on the engineer Of a fire engine as
on that of a locomotive, and it was bad
policy to bar competent engineers because
they are over S5 years of age.
President Freud of the commission ad-
mitted the soundness of the applicants S
argument, and he Immediately issued a
call for meeting of the commission, at
which the subject will be thoroughly dis
cussed. 1t is not unlikely that the other
two Commissioners will agree with Freud
that the section referred to needs amend
ment, and that the age limit will be rec
commended to read from q to 40 instead of
q to 50 years for employees in the fire de-
partment.
