Spectators Startled
 By Rodeo Thriller
Bucking Horse in Somersault Injures Rider-Ihou- sands Witness Near Tragedy; Cowgirls in Contest

Over 5000 people who attended the Elks' Championship Rodeo last night stood up in their seats and gasped as a bucking horse called Brown Jug" turned a complete sommersault with Pat Plaskett. It looked like curtains for the nervy little rider for a few seconds. The horse rolling completely over the cowboy regained its feet and raced on while Plaskett half dazed by the fall got up to stagger a short distance where he again fell to the ground. He was helped from the arena with badly bruised and wrenched leg.
 The acrobatics indu,ged in by Brown Jug did not keep Plaskett out of the prize money on the ride as the fall came just G few sec- onds after the whistle announcing the finish of the ride which put Plaskett in second place for the daily score and prize.

Neither paragraph II nor any other section of this amend ment provide for tests of em- ployes on the city payroll prior to May l, 1887 who are content to remain In their present jobs. We feel that this paragraph de. serves the praise of anyone In. terested in the efficient opera . ton of the city as 1t opens the way for the elimination of needless positions.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-25
THE ANSWER

The personnel director super- vises only the employees of the personnel department. He Is not empowered to supervise the work of other departments. His duties are as enumerated and cannot be construed as dicta. torial powers.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-25
THE ANSWER

Paragraphs s and 6 are standard provisions of modern civil service procedure. Most of the cost of operating the per- sonnel department will be chargeable to the duties men. toned herein, but these costs are limited by the budget. If the personnel director did not have these functions, his ser- vices would be of little value to the city.
