NEW SALARY; CODE:
BRINGS MANY GUTS
City
Commission Finally
Passes Long-Considered
Ordinance.
BIGELOW VOTES .CONTRARY
aleasure Will Result In Cutting Sal
ary List Approximately $30,000 a
Tear Firemen and Policemen
V ' Slay Start at $80 Monthly. .
After making changes to enable fire
men and policemen to start in the serv
ice at 380 a month Instead of 376. as
tentatively arranged heretofore, the
City Commission yesterday passed the
long considered ordinance revising the
alary lists of city employes on a basis
of efficiency.
The ordinance received a vote of 4
to 1, Commissioner Bigelow voting
against it on the ground that it is un
fair to some of the employes and more
than fair to others.
The measure, will result in the cut
ting of the salary list of the city ap
proximatejy $30,000 a year. Cuts In
salaries range from 35 to $30 a month
for about ,40 per cent of the employes,
while . others retain present salaries
and others receive. Increases ranging
from $5 to $30 a month.- The ordi
nance was passed .over the vigor
ous protest of practically all the men
in the service who will receive less than
their present salaries.
Ken Examination Needed
Letters, petitions and other forms of
protest against the measure were all
discarded in the final shuffle. As it
stands now it will be necessary for
some of the men to take new Civil
Service examinations to advance in the
service far enough, to get salaries which
they are now receiving. In other cases
men who .have been in therservice tor
five years and In a few cases for long
er, will begin under the new arrange
ment at the same salary or less than
was received, upon first entrance . Into
the service. . - ..
The ordinance was .prepared by the
New York Bureau 'of Municipal Re
search and all salaries were based upon
the market value of the Bervice' ren
dered. Salaries for similar1- work- in
various departments are made uniform.
The elements of personality anot poli
ties are not permitted to .be an Influ
ence in the system.
Heads of departments are required
at the end of each month to jmike. out
a report for each employe,, giving ' a
hagad ttnnn thn work for each
day during the month. Inefficient serw .
Ice or mistakes are snown djt ucmci u
marks, while exceptional -. service '. is
shown with merit marks.- The average
efficiency mark for a month is placed
at 80 per cent. An employe receiving
this mark is classed as thoroughly effi
cient. It being impossible to receive
any demerit marks durirrjf . the month
and still retain a grade' of. 30. per cent.
Exceptional service or bravery In serv
ice makes It possible "for anerhployo
to get a rating up" td 100.''v; ; . .'
Advance Jif Awfomatlcv'
Upon the monthfiy-Tattngs ; as tabu
lated at the end .-of each -fiscal year
the promotion of the emprbye' depends.
If the ratings are pp--to;stari8ard the
employe automatically 'advances in
grade and salary. If not-he or she re
mains at the same salary -or may even
go down In the service and" salary.
In the City Auditor's office' out of 25
employes the ' cuts aggregate about
$900. In the Health Department the
aggregate cuts are about $1009' a year.
In the Fire Department the cuts ag
gregate about $6000 a year-and in the
Police uepartment about, $5000. In the
Public Works Department1 the cuts ag
gregate aboutr" $4000; In the. Street
Cleaning Department $30d0 a year and
in the Public Utilities Department $4000
