In
Men Resigning From City Positions
Pat On Equal Footing With
Xe Applicants.
To overcome difficulties arising from
the rule recently adopted by the ilu
nlciDal Civil Service Commission pro
viding for the reinstatement In the city
service of ex-employes when there is
an eligible list of new applicants, the
commission yesterday agreed on a plan
to place ex-employes who are seeking
reinstatement on an equal footing with
new applicants leaving it to the Mayor
to decide which of the two snail be
elected for the position.
Under the present rule an employe
who resigns of his own accord is placed
at the head of the eligible list for that
particular position if he makes appli
cation for reinstatement When a va
cancy occurs his name is one of the
three taken from the eligible list and
submitted to the Mayor for appoint
ment. This, It is said, gives the old
employe an advantage over new ap
plicants and tends to discourage capa
ble men from taking- the examinations
to secure places on the eligible lists.
Under the new system, as favored by
two out of three of the commissioners.
there will be two eligible lists, one
containing the names of new applicants
and another the namea of old employes
seeking reinstatement. The first time
appointment is to be made in the fu
ture two names from the list of old
employes and one name from the list
of new applicants will be submitted to
the Mayor. The second call for em
ployes the tables will be turned, two
names being selected from the new ap
plicants and one from the old em
ployes' list. Each time there is a call
the number from each list will be re
versed.
This it is believed will give the new
applicants an equal chance with the
old men, besides giving the city the
chance to select the old men. who are
experienced in the city work, which
was the purpose of the adoption of the
present rule.
The commissison yesterday arranged
to provide a scope of examination for
Curator of the City Museum. Curator
Sleeth is serving temporarily. It Is the
desire to place the position under civil
service control.
In speaking of the Schubert songs
which Julia Culp will use on her pro
gramme at the Heillg Theater. Satur
day evening of thla week, the Omaha
World-Herald said: "In the Schubert
group. Including 'Ira Abendroth.' 'Die
Post.' 'Du Blst die Run." 'Standchen'
and "Are Maria.' this gifted singer re
vealcd a voice of rare beauty in
quality and warmth of tone, a vocal
equipment as near perfect as possible
and a breath control which was mar
velous. There were degrees of shading
so perfect In gradation and Intensity
that the listener was held speiibouna
and entranced." The same critic speaks
of her beautiful diction in her English
numbers.-
Tho seat sale opens today at the
Hellig Theater box office. This recital
is under the direction of the Portland
Musical Association, and will be a
truly notable event.
