LONDON. Aug. 29.-General Felix

today that should his friends in Mex.

Tells Fire Board Refusal to
Appoint Captains and
Lieutenants Is Grip
ling the Service

Mayor Rolph scored the fire com
missioners yesterday for their
refusal to appoint three captains.
three lieutenants and one battalion
chief to fill the vacancies which have
existed for the last six months. He
declared that the deadlock in the fire
board was holding up public busi-
ness, injuring the efficiency of the
department and preventing necessary
positions from being filed merely on
account OF petty squabble.
The long existing dispute as to
whether one man or three should be
certified by the civil service commits
sion came to a climax when the COM
mission certified only one name Tor
each OF the vacancies.
TALKS TO BOARD
Mayor Rolph sat with the fire COM
missioners, and when the board re-
fused to vote, said:
."rhe business of the city must not
be stopped. This deadlock must be
broken and business go on. These
vacancies have existed long enough.
Why can not these captains be ap-
pointed. If the men are objection

crippled. I can not permit the effici-
ency to be injured on account Of petty
differences
Commissioner Brandenstein replied
that II the commissioners were In any
way guilty OF unfairness that they
could be disciplined and removed by
the mayor.
BOTH SIDES STUBBORN
1--WE are perfectly satisfied that you
should sit in our conferences. but the
charter gives US discretion to appoint
one of three Names" said Branden-
stein. Under the mandate OF the
court the civil service commission
must certify three eligibles. Why
should they constantly certify only
one name?"
Commissioner Dillon upheld the
civil service board. Finding that the
fire commission was not disposed
to make the appointments. Mayor
Rolph suggested a conference be-
tween that board, himself and the
civil service commission, in which he
will seek to effect a truce.
