OPPOSES EDUCATIONAL PLAN
A. w. Dunn Sends Objections to
Charter to the Lawmakers.

Arthur w. Dunn. executive secretary OF
the public Education Association, has sent
a letter TO members OF the Legislature OBJ
iecting 10 several features of the revised
educational chapter OF the proposed charter.
Mr. Dunn objected to the eligibility OF the
teaching STAFF being determined by the
Board Of Education rather than by the
state school Law. He said the president OF
the Board OF Education would become SUI
prep1e over the educational policy as well
as over tie business affairs Of the schools.
and that. the Board Of superintendent not
being able to nominate district superin-
tendents, these offices would be political
spells. Mr.. Dunn noted that the charter
provided the city superintendent should no
longer be member Of the board Of ex-
aminers and yet in the same section pro-
vided that he should issue all licenses.
Mr.. Dunn said the city superintendent
should either remain chairman OF the board
Of examiners or he should have the right to
decline to sign license that he believed
10 be improperly granted lie also opposed
the salary plan and the continuance of the
provision that jaritors pay their assistants.

SEES BLOW AT MERIT PLAN
E. H, Goodwin Attacks Civil Ser
vice Sections in Charter.

Elliott H. Goodwin, secretary of the Civil
Service Reform Association. has written a
letter 20 Senator Thomas y. cullen and
Assemblyman James a. Foley, in which
he criticises the sections in the proposed
charter having TO do with civil service.
Mr. Goodwin first points out that the
recent elimination of the provisions which
made the Municipal Civil Service Commits
sion absolutely Independent of the super
vision Of the State Civil Service Commits
sion is Of vital Importance
with all due regard 10 the Importance
Of the changes and concessions that have
already been made the letter reads, Il
submit that your committee cannot escape
the imputation Of Intentionally seeking to
secure additional places for purposes Of
patronage and to place a barrier in the way
q the future development Of the merit
system along the line laid down by Article
V Section O. Of the state constitution, I'M
less still further amendments are made
Mr. Goodwin then says that objection
lies especially against Section 24O which
provides that the head Of each depart
ment, board, body or office, the city and
each county shall. without restriction or
limitation, appoint and may at pleasure
remove, each subordinate whose appoint
ment is directed by this act"
This language. Mr.. Goodwin holds, is
wholly unnecessary in view Of the pro-
visions of general law IN regard to APP
pointments and removals, and can serve
no purpose except that of preventing the
application OF the merit system
Section 24} Mr. Goodwin maintains. is
clearly inimical 10 the best interests Of the
city service, as IL gives a preferred right
OF reinstatement, lasting two years, to per
sons who are laid off when places are abo!-
ished or the number of places reduced.
other sections Of the proposed charter
which are objected 10 in the letter are Sec
ton G3l, providing for the incorporation of
the dOormen in the Police Department in
the regular police force as patrolmen. Sec
tons 63S and CSC, which, II is asserted limit
in an "uniusti1able and improper manner
the power Of the Civil Service Commission
to rate the conduct and efficiency Of candi-
dates for promotion in the Police and Fire
departments" and Section go, which pro-
vidcs that no city or county officer or en-
plJyD shall sign or issue a warrant for the
payment Of salary or compensation 10 a
person In the classified civil service OF the
city or county, except upon the certif-
cate Of the Municipal civil Service Com
mission.
