Ha bat not resided In the elty of Portland for three yeara next preceding hi appointment a captain of police on November e, 1105. If aectlon X of tha charter ap plies to a captain .of police, Patrick Brufnlaholdlng office contrary to"The"l provisions thereof. . fieoond Wa are aatlafled that aectlon Hi of tha charter, . which, .amongst other thing, provide 'that "all munlol- pal alfluaiej, eaoept amiiien, ahattbe regt applies to a captain of police. A Pet-f rick Bruin waa not a registered voter of tha city of Portland- when ho wa appointed captain of police on November 4, lies, bis appointment was In viola tion of aald section of the charter. Third Section III of tha charter pro vldea that "whenever there. shall be a vacancy In any position in tha classi fied olvfl service, tha appointing author ity shall immediately notify the com mission thereof." This provision was Violated by the aotton of the appointing authority In falling t notify the com mission until November I, ltOS, of the vacancy created on July 1, 10B. by the promotion of Carl Grltsmacher from captain of police to acting chief of po lice. Aa there ware five candldatea elU glble for appointment aa eaptalna on tha commlaalon'a register from July T to September 10, ItOt. and on tha latter date . their name were atrlcken from uch register and the commission waa not notified, of thla vacancy until after the examination la which Patrick Brntn rta a aueoeaaful candidate, it la mani fest that thla failure on tha part of the appointing authority to promptly notify the commission Of tha vacancy, and the action of . the eommtseion In atrlklng the -name of aald five eligible candl datea from tha register, contributed ma terially to tha appointment of Patrick Bruin a a captain of pollof on November V MOT ... ' ay la Is flolased. ' Fourth Tha law and spirit of sec tion 111 of the charter relating to pro- mivwh. wmv m umww Been naBranciy disregarded by tha commission. Rule II or the old rules, which provided apa etfically for examination for promo tions, waa such a rule a that eeotton of the charter required tha commission to enact and enforce. The language of tho charter ia: "Tha commission shall, by Ita rules, provide for promotiona In tha classified aervlea, on tba basis of ascertained merit and seniority In aerv lea, and standing upon examination, and shall provide that la all oaaea where practicable vacancies shall be fllled by promotiona." When the commlaalon. In revising ita rules on October 11. 1001, abolished Old rule II and substituted no similar one therefor, it disobeyed the plain mandate of tho charter: for after nch Chang tha commlaalon had no rule which provided for promotiona. No sat isfactory reason has been offered or can be given for tha abolition of that old rule. Though tha charter expressly at recta the ommlssloa to provide for pro motion by Ita rule. It alao expressly provide that In all cases where prac ticable, vacancies shall be tiled by pro motion, it waa entirely practicable to All by promotion tha vacancy -to which Patrick Bruin waa' appointed.''' There could bo no stronger condemnation of the whole theory of eivil -eervles-than tha position taken by Commlaaloner Brewster, when he - aald that, though there war 111 men in the polio' de partment la lower rank thaa captain. all of whom secured their appointments aa tha result of suoceaaful civil aervio examinations, and several of whom had been performing tha dutlea of captain in a satisfactory and creditable manner, there were not enough honest and com petent men In tha department to make It practicable to hold an examination for promotion. Fifth At tha time Patrick Bruin filed hla application for examination ha waa not a eltlaen of tho United Statea and had not resided a year in tha city of Portland. Tha former fact waa known to tha commlaalon whan they gave him tha higheat rating of the six candldatea who took tha examination. The latter faot could easily nave been ascertained by tha commission if it had mad auch lnqulrlea aa a reading of Bruln'a evaalve statement concerning residence la hla application should have prompted. The fact that both these matter were over looked by tha commlaalon tende to ahow rather looee administrative methods. - ' Cjsear Of Bale. Sixth The change mad In th rules of the commission at about th time Patrick Bruln'a application for ex amination waa filed, which changea went Into effect the day before th examina tion waa "held, made Bruin's examination and appointment possible. If these changes had not been made Bruin could not have participated In the examina tion for or been appointed aa captain of police on November 4. 1901. Seventh Tba rule, both old and new. required and provided for the giving of an official notice to each applicant of th time, place and general aoopa of the examination for tha poaltlon sought. In pursuance of this rule the candldatea war notified that the examination for captain would eonelst of a physical ex amination, and a written examina tion, and that the latter would ba con fined only to ona subject-to-wlt, -"Ex perience." The examination held was substantially different from tha one ae acribed in tha notice. In 'that tha notloe provided for no oral examination and the oral examination . held embraced other eubjecte than experience. Eighth Th charter especially re quires that all civil service examination shall ba open competitive examination. Th oral examination conducted by Mlnto and Nevlna, upon which was almoat en tirely based their reoommendationa and the markings of the commlaalon, was not a competitive examination. No ag questions are propounded andthe same teeta applied to th different persona ,w- -1 UanV applied by-Mlnto end - Nevlna to the several candldatea they examined. ' We believe-aectlon 104 and 111 af the charter, which provide that all exam ination must be open and competitive, were violated by thla oral examination and . the appointment of Patrick Bruin based thereon. . ..,..- Ninth These evasions and violations of the civil service provision of our charter, which culminated In tha ap pointment of a stranger In our city a captain of poltc In face ef tha law that provide that vacancies shall be filled by promotion, must greatly discourage all honest, efficient and ambttloua mem bers of the police department and tend ta tba demoralisation of tha polio aerv loe aa a whole. . - - Tenth In conclusion, , we would rec ommend that the city attorney be re quested to give an opinion as to What remedies axe available and appropriate (Continued from Second Column, Flrat rage.) altuated at tha corner of Park and Alder streets It being a resort of evil repute. The protection given the place by the Issuance to It of a license to sen liquor, and. mora" particularly to operate as a hotel.' has given the police department much trouble In the past, and it should be deprived of all official protection and recognition at tha hand of the city.
