by Telegraph 10 The Tribune. |

Albany, Jan. 22-The State Civil Service Com
mission to-day adopted a ruling that the State
Engineer and Surveyor must renstate in the order
or their original employ ment men who had been
employed barge canal work and who were sus-
pended by Mr.. Skene because Of lack of appropria-
tons and that the new Highway Commission might
employ suspended who had been at work
the good roads. The classes Of men suspended
number several hundred.
This ruling the status of previously EN-
ployed good roads work merely carries out the
wording OF the new highway law. which leaves it
optional with the commission to take refuse
to employ in the Bureau OF Highways under
the State Engineer. While It puts the
pended in unfavorable position as compared
with those who had been engaged on barge canal
work. this ruling Will establish precedent for the
Highway Commission.
The Civil Service Commission directed its secre-
ta--y to secure from State Engineer Williams
copy OF the testimony taken on the charges pre-
ferred against Peter Sheridan, formerly financial
clerk Of the western division of the State Engi-
neers department. Sheridan Is charged, among
other things with having solicited campaign
tributions from state employees last fall for the
Democratic State Committee The secretary
also directed to transmit copy of the testimony
to the District Attorney of Monroe County.
The commission formally approved the appoint
ment of seven county superintendent Of highways,
they having complied with the recent requirements
OF the commission regarding an examination The
counties are: Broome, Duchess. Essex Greene.
Herkimer. Oneida and Oswego.
a supplemental opinion received from At
torney General O'Maley. in which he modies his
original opinion, declaring that the employees OF
the commission appointed to investigate criminal
inferior jurisdiction in first class cities
were subject TO Civil Service rules, He now holds
that the commission is a legislative commission
and its employees not affected by Civil Service
rules.
Attaches Of the commission. including ex-Attorney
General Julius NJ. Mayer will therefore receive
their salaries, which being held up. M.
Mayer presented bill OF $1,000 account.
a resolution Of the New York City commission
approved, requiring that the firemen of that
city shall be five feet eight inches in height in
stead of five feet inches and increasing the
minimum weight from 1S5 to 40 pounds
The commission also approved resolution Great
