appointment can be made by the COM
missioners.
All three. contestants passed the ex-
animation. Paul j. Moore heads the
list with a record of ss.0t5. Mathew
P. A. McDermitt is second with S3.09
and John J. Towey has an average of
80.49. Under the rules of the Civil
Service Commission any one of the
men is eligible for the position. AL
though MeDermitt is second on the list
he would have been the highest if the
commission had not deducted five
points because of reprimands received
in the last few years.
The deductions were based in the eff
flciency record handed over to the COM
mission by the fire board after the
two bodies seemed to be deadlocked
in the matter. The fire board showed
positive dislnclination in handing over
this efficiency record, and it was after
considerable argument and threaten
irg that the papers We're finally turned
over
The question that now naturally
arises Is who will be the deputy chief,
and subsequently the chief. It seems
to be the impression among men in
the department that Chief Sloan will
retire in the near future and that the
man now made deputy chief viii serve
in the highest office when this takes
place.
Though Moore heads the list it is
not at all certain that he will get the
appointment. The commissioners can
use their discretionary power in this
matter and can, If they like appoint
the lowest man on the list
II has been rtlmored for some time
that rowey was slated for the job
and that Moore would be close sec
ond and would be appointed to deputy
chief when Towey moved up to first
place. Rumor did not have McDermitt
in the running Whether the fact
that McDermitt is second will have
any weight with the commissioners
cannot be said at this time. The stu
alton is indeed interesting, not only
