MADE STRONGER . : BY NEW CHARTER (Continued From Page One.) is calculated to . promote justice and prevent unfairness. - Prorides for Pair -Action. A custom ha grown jp in the present service which makes -the head .0(1 civil service department little more than A figurehead.' Section 185 of the old charter provide Jthat charges may bt iuea against. cirii service; employe by any person and a hearing .must be had on these charge before a committee of the executive .board. The chief of po lice, assuming no more authority than "any person," now follows thl plan; It lessens hi authority. At the same time it provide for a partial and pos sibly political preliminary hearing of the accused employe which may act against him when he Is tried .before the civil service board. . . - r-.-Under, the commission charter the head of the department has the right to remove for cause, written charges being filed (section 517), and the removed employe has right to appeal directly to the, civil service board. within 10 day. The board in its turn is privileged, to use discretion in measuring the degree of guilt, if guilt is' established, and Impose sentence accordingly. Under the present charter, if charges ajre sus tained, it has no alternative. The ac cused must be removed from the serv ice. Lighter penalty la Impossible. Civil , service ... under the commission charter will operate thus: Section 286b Rives power to appoint or remove. Sec tion 308 require that appointment shall be by open competitive examination. Section 817 requires that no employe be removed savte for cause and gives him right of fair trial. Section 20 pro vides for the transfer of employes from one department to another. Section 315 tells how-transfer must be made the employe must pas an examination pre liminary to work in another department. Olvea Chance of Promotion. Section 20 and 315 give chance for promotion that does not now exist, at the same, time making it impossible for an efficient employe to be reduced, in rank or treated in a way that violate cvill service rules. Section 316 pro vides for promotions on a basis of su perior efficiency as measured by the efficiency records required in section 20, and by competitive examination. Section 309 requires the civil service board to classify civil service employe and to : grade position and pay on an efficiency basis. : Section 325 bars polit ic in the service. Section 327a define eight hours a a day's work, and gives preference to citizens of the city and United States. Comparison between old and new char ters shows that few changes have been made in the civil service code and fuch as have been made are to protect com petence and to expose incompetence. Section 313 -which provides among other things for re-appointment of em ployes of six years standing is a sec tion of the charter of 1903 and its op eration dates from 1903. It must be remembered that the people do not vote on a new charter May 3, but on the old charter so amended as to' permit of commission government. Unchanged section of the old Charter stand with out change in effect or operation.
