Merit System Low
Held Operative

Thirty Montgomery County tenn
porary policemen employed on CO.
day appointments today appeared
assured of permanent status.
This was revealed yesterday in an
opinion on the county merit system
law by Joseph A. Cantrel, who re-
signed as attorney to the county
commissioners.
In his opinion. Mr.. Cantrel told
the new Republican dominated

the county, either on a temporary
or permanent basis, as of March
!, 1916, when the merit system law
took effect, are entitled to be men,

tenn.

This means, Mr.. Cantrel said, the
80 policemen employed on a 60-day
basis actually have been perma-
nent members of the county police
force since last March.
The commissioners referred the
matter to their attorney, F. Bar
nard Welsh, for study.
I. G.. McNayr, who was reap
pointed county supervisor at an an
nual salary of $500, said some OF
the 80 policemen were appointed
in 1943 and have received consecu-
tive 60-day appointments ever
since.
He said he has notified the men
they are now regular members OF
the police force and are covered by
the county civil service system.
Mr.. McNayr said the matter came
to his attention shortly after he
was named county supervisor by the
cid Board of County Commission
ers about three weeks ago. He
added he then requested Mr.. Cam
trel to submit an opinion.
McNayr Succeeds Day.
He pointed out the old board had
continued to reappoint the police
men, even though such a prac-
tice is prohibited by law.
Mr.. McNayr, former county pur-
chasing agent, succeeded Willard F.
Day as supervisor when the latter
resigned.
In other actions, the new COM
missioners, who took over their
duties yesterday, fixed Mr.. Welsh's
salary at 5000 a year and that
of Thomas c. Kelley, newly ap-
pointed assistant attorney to the
board, at $2,400 a year.
They also accepted the resigna-
tons of william Volkman as as
sistant secretary to the board and

placed by Ernest Hawkins as clerk
to the board, win continue to act
