ment Position,
CASINO EMPLOYEES ARE
ORDERED OFF PAYROLL
Claimed That Commissioner Did
Not Observe Regulations in
Making Appointments

Claude r. Smith. tree trimmer
employed by the department OF parks
and boulevards, has been appointed
temporary city forester by the civil
service commission. Smith received
the highest mark In civil service
examination held recently.
His appointment places Park Com
missioner Dust In u peculiar position.
The commissioner ignored the civh
service rules when he discharged City
Forester Philbrick, last May, and
gave the position to Harry M. Hunt
er at a reduced salary.
Philbrick's reinstatement was de-
manded by the commission, but Dust
refused, and the matter was taken
to court. Should the court sustain
the ruling of the commission, Phil
brick will succeed to the ONCE Of city
forester again. The commission, hold
ing that Hunters appointment WAS .
temporary one pending court de-
cision, held competitive examination
to all the position. Hunter and Phil
brick both took the examination ana
failed to make high marks. Phil.
bricks participation In the examtna-
ton will have no effect on his suit for
reinstatement, although Smith was
the one to successfully pass the civil
service examination.
It Is now up to Commissioner Dust
to give the temporary Job to Smith
or have another fight with the civil
service commission on his hands.
~ have received no 0fficial COM
munication from the commission, and

cision In the matter" said Dust,

The position now pays $1,000.

Indicated in newspaper dispatches, as
well as direct word from Congress
man Frank Clark, Senator Bryan
and Senator Fletcher.
The following dispatch received
from Senator Bryan by the Daily
News is self explanatory:
"Out of the abundance OF caution
it might be well to have the winter
residents request their congressman
to help. / do not believe any oppo-
sition will be urged to this item. The
danger is the bill will be opposed in
its entirety and defeated because the
session is so near the end.

Congressman Frank Clark does not
appear to have much faith. in the as
sistance of outside representatives in
congress. In message to the Daily

Il can not with certainty at this
time predict the fate of the public
building bill. However, outside sem
ators and congressman can not aid
