Robbins Suggests That De.
partment Heads Name
Civil Service Boards.
FIREMEN MUST DATE
THEIR RESERVATIONS
Mayor Says Half and Half
Law Will Be Ad-
herel to.

a state law requiring the extension
of civil service to all minor city en-
ployes will be strictly observed by the
new administration.
This statement was made by Mayor
Robbins today. He said that in COM
pIiance with the law the heads of all
the departments at the first cabinet
meeting this month would take up the
civil service question and draft rules
and regulations.
II think it would be a good plan
for the department chiefs to appoint
from among their number a commit
tee of three which would act as the
civil service board said the mayor
1t would be the duty of this civil
service board 10 provide a system OF
examining all applicants for office
who would come under the civil serv-
ice Policemen and firenen would not
be affected by the merit system, how
ever, for the law provides that the
former shall be employed and dis
charged by the police commissioners.
while the tiremen must remain under
the control of the board of public
works.
Incumbents Not Affected.
SubOrdinates in the various depart
ments now employed would not be re-
quired to take civil service eXamlna-
tiOns to retain their position, but the
merit system would be extended to
them.
All vacancies in the departments
would be filed by men who have sue
cessfuly passed the civil service tests.
Future appointees to the garbage
collection department. after the civil
service has been established, prob
ably will have to pass a physical and
a mental examination on ordinances
pertaining to the collection and dis
position of garbage. 1t is probable
that laborers to be employed for the
streets and parks departments and
the municipal light plant. will only be
required TO pass physical eXamina-
ton. OF course, all applicants for mu-
nicipal employment will be required
to show good records for honesty, So
briefly and trustworthiness.
Must Date designations.
Mayor Robbins placed his foot
! squarCly on the report which has
been circulated that only undated res
! isnations from members of the fire
| department were desired
| We want the members of the de-
! partment to date their designations,
and if they are not accepted. they

was for the sole purpose of wedding

LOUDLY FOR HELP
Association Has Only $500 to

Winter.
ONLY 13O RESPONSES
Mrs. Gambler, City Mission

of Poor.
ONLY 13O RESPONSES

Mrs. Elizabeth Gambler, city mis-,
sionary, today reiterated the appeal
for aid, which the Associated Chari-
ties repeatedly has sounded to obtain
sufficient funds for the prosecution Of
that organizations work among the
poor of the city.
Less than $500 is in the treasury,
according to Mrs. Gambler, to carry
on the work Of relief during the hard
est months of the winter.
Citizens are insistently urged to re-
spOnd to the appeal for aid which the
Associated Charities issued before the
winter weather set in. The full text
of Mrs. Gamblers letter is appended:

ed account of the numerous cases
needing care and assistance during
/ the past month. Although the weather
thus far has not been severe, on ac-
count OF scarcity of work, and many
OF the bread winners idle, by necessity
much demand has been made upon
/ this society, in many cases by those
, never forced to do so before.
Among the many helped, are fami-
lies where the wife has to labor 70
support husband and children, on ac-
: count of sickness and inability of the
husband. Several old, helpless couples
! have been assisted. Several children
placed into good homes. Three girls
sent to girls school at indianapolis.
While a generous public helped
very materially in relieving the wants
and necessities of many who other
wise would have gone hungry, perhaps,
or at least without a reminder Of the
Christmas cheer that filled the and.
That supply has been consumed and
this board is facing the problem of
how to supply all that is needed in
this extremity, without means suffi-
CIent at cur command.

the FIVE hundred circulars sent out Nv
