Bridge Superintendent
Ruling
State Roads Commission An.
pointment Over-Ruled By
Employment Chief

Harry G. Jones, State Employment
Commissioner, on Friday ordered the
appointment of Elwood Schaefer
OF Cumberland, as superintendent
of the new Susquehanna River bridge
at Perryville overruling an objection
by the State Roads Commissioner in
the states first test of the veterans
preference law.
Mr.. Jones held that Roads Com
mission had failed to advance suffic-
lent reason for failure to appoint
Schaefer, World War veteran, and
asserted that the selection privileges
of the state merit system had been
abridged" by the veterans pref
erence legislation.
The decision apparently invalidat-
ed the Roads Commissions selec-
ton of Elmer j. White of Salisbury,
"a former state roads employee and
now associated with the bridge en-
cheering company in charge of the
project.
1t also upheld the contention of
ScnaeIer tnat ne was qualified for
the post, and that he was entitled
to the 3,600-a-year job on the basis
of competitive examination and
veterans preference.
Mr.. Jones opinion was contained
in lengthy abstract of the case,
dating to July 8, when the commits
sion appointed Abram S. wilson
who lives at Havre de Grace-as
superintendent of the uncompleted
bridge at Morgantown, in southern
Maryland, and named White to the
Susquehanna job.
Wilson, war veteran, was first
on the list; Schaefer was second,
and White, not a veteran, was third.
Schaefer, however is former bridge
engineer for the city of Cumber-
land and now is employed in the
office of the Unemployment Compen-
sation Board there. White left the
employ of the state some time ago
to join the bridge engineering
company. .
