Civil Service Commission Proposes
Elimination of Certain Conditions.

The civil service commission rea-
Lies the necessity of changes in the
requirements for eligibles for the fire
and police departments and the meet
ing of the commission this week, con-
Guided in favor of these important
changes. The decision of the civil
service commission favors presenting
to the common council a resolution
to extend the age limit, and striking
out the requirement that makes nee
essary local residence of the appli-
cants, and also abolishing the clause
requiring ono years service as super
numerary or callman for regular ap-
pOintment
In the opinion Of the members of
the civil service commission such
changes in the requirements should be
for the duration Of the war only. A
result the commission would expect
through such changes would be the
maintaining of an adequate eligible
list
