The commission this morning made
ruling that mechanics and laborers
who were cltlsens ot the .United Btatea,
whether they had remained In the city
one year or not, could take examinations

the charter prohibited laborers and me

of the- charter provieions failed to show
such requirement.

WOULD LEARN WHO HAS
RIGHT TO CHANCE RANK
Kavanaugh . Wants to Hare Circuit
Court Decide Whether Civil Serv
ke Commission Can Change Rank
or Salary of Man It Haa Appointed.
In order to 1iave a ruling from a cir
cuit court Judge on the Question as to
whether or not the cirli service com-
mission has the right to change an em
ploye's rank or salary after he haa been
appointed to a municipal position by the
commission. Deputy City Attorney 3. P.
Kavanaugh has ilea a motion in trie
court aaklng that' the writ of mandamus
In the caae of John Rankin be quashed.
John Rankfrr was formerly a sidewalk
Inspector in the city engineer's office
at a salary of 7i a month. There were
six sidewalk inspectors. - An ordinance
was passed reducing the number of reg
ular Inspectors to 'four, but providing
for the appointing of others aa needed,
to receive a salary of 13.10 a day for
the time actually employed. At the
time the ordinance,! waa passed . John
Rankin and Amos S. -"-Oroce were side
walk Inspectors. Oroce waa one of two
transferred to the Irregular shifts.
March 1 Charles Warner waa appointed
city engineer and at once attempted to
promote Grace - and reduce Rankin.
Rankin objected, and Presiding Judge
Fraser recently decided that the head
of a municipal department had no right
to reduce an employe In rank or salary.
and Issued a writ of mandamus ordering
City Auditor Devlin to pay Rankin hla
salary from' March 1.
In the motion filed this morning it is
set forth that prior to March 1 Rankin
waa employed at an Inspector In the
engineer's department, being rated In
elaaa 10, grade C, of that department,
at a salary of ITI a month. 4 that an
Irregular Inspector la In f irtf ftame class
aa a regular Inspector and hat the kind
of service is Identical. ' (
The i city attorney also holds that
Rankin waa not removed or discharged
from his registered clsss In the civil
service, but merely ..transferred f ruia
