BARRED
IN PROMOTIONS
BY FIRE BOARD
One Captain, Three Lieutenants
and Others Chosen From
Top of List.
TALK OF FAVORITISM is
SHOWN TO BE UNFOUNDED
Select Those Who Passed Civil
Service Examination With
Highest Averages.

That politics played no part in the
fire board over the appointments and
promotions made by the board at the
meeting yesterday afternoon was dem
onstrated by the fact that the captain,
~lieutenants and firemen were selected
>from the certified list furnished by the
Civil Service Commission in the order
in which the names appeared. Prior
to the meeting there was some talk of
favoritism and some went as far as to
say that the friends of the commits
sioners would be appointed or pro-
noted. The civil service list is always
larger tha the actual appointments to
be made, and 1t was, therefore, thought
that discrimination would be shown.
When b names OF the eligibles were
presented the commissioners unani-
mously agreed that the selections
should be made from the top of the
list, as only those passing with the
highest averages should be considered.
One captain, three ~lieutenants, six
teen f1remen, one assistant superin-
tendent of fire-alarms, two linemen and
