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.
