been bolstered by the addition
of city health officer, filtration
plant superintendent, electrical
Inspector, plumbing inspector,
engineer and other such officials.
These are appointed by the COM
mission.
Under a Civil Service plan,
Nunneley pointed out, most of
the department heads listed
above would be covered, and,
once they had passed an exam
ination qualifying them for their
posts. could only be dismissed
for cause. Similarly with the
subordinate employees in these
departments.
Nlalteley told the commits
sion they would have TO survey
the entire personnel structure Of
the city and determine which
posts should come under civil
service.
SURVEY REQUIRED
Then the city would have 10
subscribe 10 the Michigan Mum
icipal Leagues personnel de-
partment, which provides exam
ination and grading service for
municial employees, and handles
the machinery connected with
hiring and firing employees. In
other words, a city department
head who wanted an assistant or
subordinate would ask the per-
seHnel bureau to furnish him
with a qualified person, and
would be obliged TO accept the
material sent him.
Just how far the city would
wish TO go in blanketing en-
ployeS in Civil Service viii have
TO De determined by the COM
mission. Nunneley said, in point
ing out the absurdity Of the city
having to involve itself in annoy
ing detail possibly to hire a
ditch-digger or streetcleaner.
Some classifications would prob
ably have TO be exempted, he
suggested.
In answer 10 questions he eX-
planned that many cities Of the
size of Mount Clemens operate
under Civil Service plans, in
GLIDING Dearborn, Port Huron
and Royal Oak.
TWO PLANS
NunneIey said that Of the two
methods practicable for inaug-
urating Civil Service: Cd A
charter amendment, and (2) an
ordinance, he recommended the
ordinance plan as being simpler
and just as effective. An ordIn-
ance authorizing Civil Service
would have TO be approved by
the voters, and any subsequent
changes required could be made
at an ordinary election. A char
ter amendment, ne explained
presented difficulties and an un-
usual volume OF work in revIs-
ing the entire city charter.
He urged a careful study OF
the matter by the commission
before voting its decision.
The subject was recently
brought 10 public attention when
representatives of the Metropoli-
tan Club. formed of police, fire
men and postal employees. asked
that the city consider Civil.
Service plan for all employees.

The vision of a city whose
