CHARGES MADE AGAINST
Three CITY EMPLOYEES
Civil Service Commission Hears Cons
plants Against Deputy Assessors.
Oil Case Dismissed

The civil service commission listened
to charges against three city employees
Yesterday afternoon, The persons
against whom complaints were made
were H. A. Cord, J. +. Mullen and j.
A. Noel, all deputies in the office OF
the city assessor.
The charges against Mullen were dis
missed. Those against Noel and Cprd
were taken under advisement. The
question involved in all the cases Was
whether or not the men were serving
unCer the civil service system.
When adopted the charter provided
that all persons then serving the city
should be considered as under civil
service without having to take the eX-
aminations. This date was January
%, 1908. Mullen was able to show
that he was appointed on the first day
of January, 1903, which released him
from the charges.
In Noers case there was consider
able doubt and the commission wanted
time to consider and examine the rec
ords. BY his own statement it was
shown that Cord did not so to work
until March 13. He contended. how
ever, that he received his appointment
on the first day of January, but was
permitted leave of absence in order
to go TO Sacramento and attend the
legislature.
If the records of the city assessors
office are to be relied upon, they show
condition of things with reference to
Cords case that is, to say the least
peculiar. This record shows thai
Cord worked every day during thF
month of January and that he received
$50 for the service. According to hi:
sworn statement made yesterday before
the civil service commission Cord die
not go to work until March 13.
