DENY NEW PROBERS.
TO CIVIL SERVICE.
Councilmen Refuse to Replace
PatroImen Ordered Back
to Regular Duties
WOODRUFF IN ANGRY CLASH

Although Council had taken away the
patrolmen assigned to that work, Coun-
ellis Finance Committee this afternoon
refused to give the Civil Service Com
mission three Investigators to examine
the past records of applicants for city
jobs.
This was done although Clinton Rog-
ers Woodruff, president Of the commits
sion. said more criminals apply for jobs
ms patrolmen than for any other posi-
tions in the city service.
Mr.. Woodruff tartly defended the
commission against jibcs by Councilmcn
Hall and MCCOach. He told McCOach
heatedly that he didn't like to have his
in the habit of making misStatemcnts.
Municipal Court Helped
The bill providing for three invcsti-
gators at $500 year each was re-
ported with Il negative rccOmmcnda-
tion on Met toach's motion. When IL
bill for boosting Municipal Court sal O.
aries came up, however, the members
were not so careful of the taxpayers
money, but voted the increases.
In asking for the investigators Mr.
Woodruff said $50 men have passrc
physical tests for patrolmen, aud that
their records should be investigated.
THE Civil Service Commission ought
to be investigated, remarked McCoucl
testify.
Chafman Gaffney wanted to knov
why the district police couldn't max,
the Investigations. Mr.. Woodruff re,
piled it would result In forty-two differ,
ent standards of investigation, one fOI
each district.
"Oh, they held down soft snaps.
countered Hall. referring to the patrol
men who did civil service investigations
"No, they worked ten and lively
hours day. retorted the commission
head.
