Departure of Chamber

Departure of Leonard V. Harrison,

Bartholomew. leader, said today.
81 am not opposed to civil serv-
ice," he announced. Tuesday, when
I spoke before the board Of safety
did not denounce the principle Of
civil service, but objected to the die
tatorial methods of Harrison, who
seems to have been the boss Of a
one-man civil service commission"
Legality PrObed
However, Bartholomew said coun-
cilmen would investigate legality Of
the civil service commission. seeking
to determine whether passage of an
ordinance authorizing civil service is
necessary.
Bartholomew statement today is
slightly at variance with his
denunciation of civil service before
the safety board.
This civil service plan is a big
joke" Bartholomew, who is the
direct representative of Republican
County Boss George V. Coffin in city
council, said.
Creation Of a civil service board
is a reflection on the board OF
safety It Is a hint that the board
is not competent to select its own
policemen and firemen.'
Merit in Plan
o. D. Haskell, board of safety
president, interrupted to assert that
the board Of safety had approved
the civil service commission.
"There is much merit in the plan"
Haskell said. THE board is in full
accord with the civil service move
ment and has worked with the city
administration to install the system
on an efficient basis"
Under civil service. councilmen
would not be able to favor constit-
uents for appointment to the city
departments, a prerogative that city
Legislators from time immemorial
have utilized.
