COUNTY MERIT
BILL J0KER"
IS STUDIED

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 9.
With approximately 125 Fusion
list employees in Montgomery
county practically frozen" in
office through the passage of the
county merit system bill by the
State legislature under a mistaken
effective date, Democratic lead.
ers are now searching for a means
Of defeating the effect of the
measure.
= Introduced into the house by
FusioniSt Delegate Joseph A. Can
trel to take effect as of June /.
this year, the measure was altered
with pen and ink to read "effec-
tive January" 1899, at the insti-
cation of State Senator Stedman
Prescott and other Democratic
leaders in the general assembly.
Change UnrecOrded
Through an error no amend
ment was ever passed or record
ed in the journals of the session
which provided for the change.
Hence, according to political lead
ers of the county, the effective
date was changed back to its origi.
nal reading before being signed
by Governor Harry w. Nice.
While Democratic leaders of
the county ponder over the
question of who is to blame for
the disastrous mistake" which
the Democratic majorities of
both the Senate and House of
Delegates aided in passing, and
what can be done to correct it,
5ubilant FuSionist office holders
and leaders are preparing to take
the merit system examination
prior to- November l, this year
Is provided for by the bill.
Although the measure pro-
V1deS for an open competitive
examination for the appointive
positions affected by the bill,
FusioniSt leaders of the county
feel that while their appointeeS
are now in office and, under
terms Of the measure, receive a
one per cent credit for each year
they have held office, they are
given a decided advantage in
taking the examination.
Democratic leaders, on the
other hand, are reluctant to
make known what plans they
have for thwarting the measure.
But several agree that what is
to be done must be done before
the measure goes into effect for
to let it become effective and
then in 1899 through political
pressure have the measure re-
pealed and re-enacted, if possible,
might seriously damage the
States civil service set up.
