NEW TOMORROW fP ORDINANCE TO BE CIVIL SERVICE EYED The cily charier committee is' sued a statement Wednesday to the effect that a council oral' nance embracing civil service provisions could be passed to tn- sure the continuance of civil service under the proposed new charter to be voted on at the November -3 election. This statement was made after a conference with Orval Ettcr, League of Oregon Cities legal consultant, who helped write the proposed new charter. Etter was called in after It was ques- tioned whether the new charter provides adequately for civil service. Statement Quoted On the basis of the statement Issued after Wednesday's confer ence. it appeared that council ac tion will be necessary to sup plant wnat reference there is in the charter to civil service. The statement: The question has been raised about the affect of the proposed new cnarter upon the civil serv- ice system m Klamath Falls. The charter committee, after discuss ing this question with Orval Et ter, legal consultant for the League of Oregon Cities, has de cided that this question can be removed by the council s passing an ordinance incorporating the civil service provisions of the present charter and declaring that the status of civil service employes is continued unim paired. In fact, Etter called at tention to the provision In Sec tion 21 of the new charter re stricting the mayor's power over civil service employes. Since the present civil service system has been in effect for 14 years, improvements can be made in it, and the League of Oregon Cities has expressed its willingness to work with the charter committee on a new charter provision con tinuing the present civiV service system and incorporating in it improvements which will bring completely up-io-aate with modern civil service practices.
