Head Matter:
In the Matter of Anker Tjersland et al., Similarly Situated, Respondents, against Paul P. Brennan et al., Constituting the Municipal Civil Service Commission of the City of New York, et al., Appellants.

Opinion:
Order unanimously affirmed, with $20 costs and disbursements to the respondents on the authority of Matter of Aliotta V. Finegan (252 App. Div. 855). There is cogent argument for a policy contrary to that applied in the Aliotta ease. However, there is no way of distinguishing the case and the commission shows no reason why it could not have obtained corrective legislation or regulation since the decision in the Aliotta case in 1937.
