This law was passed with the claimed object of putting an end to an alleged “spoils system.” According to the old system, when the state officers there could be a general cleaning out of all the old employes of the various departments. The law passed in 1913 provides that ; all offices in the apointment of the state officers, except the governor and the legislature, shall be under civil service, with certain few exceptions. The most notable exception, is the head of a department, to appoint one deputy without civil service test. The question involved is whether or not this office is included in the scope of this act. Morris Sure Law Covers. Charles G. Morris, of this president of the civil service com- mission, stated yesterday that in his opinion there was no question but that the superintendency of the cap- itol grounds was subject to the civil service requirements, He said the law was enacted to prevent just such changes as the one proposed by Webster.

There are about 400 office holders who are as- sured of their places by the law, Office Not Covered. Comptroller Webster, over the tele- phone from his home at Harwinton, last night, said that he was perfectly aware of the new civil service law when he made the appointment. He said he did not construe the law as | covering the office, however. He said that he had not secured legal advice on the matter, but that he had looked into the matter somewhat himself. To Secure Opinion. He said that he would go to Hart- ford today to look into the matter and that he would probably ask for an opinion upon it from the attorney general, There has been some talk about the | state that the legislature might take steps to so amend the civil service law that many of the positions would be taken from under civil service again. ture, is not generally expected, al- though it is possible that minor amendments of that nature might be made. ‘Wilson, the new appointee of Comptroller Webster, was superin- tendent of the capitol grounds before the democratic victory of two years ago.

In Mr. Healey's opinion, the posi- tion of J. R. Andrews in relation to the board has not been changed as a result of yesterday’'s meeting. Alling Is Elected. From about 5:30 to 7:30 o'clock last organized safety board met in the mavor's office, elect- E. B. Alling chairman in place of the deposed Joseph R. Andrews, voted to give Denn O'Keefe a course of lessons before asking him to qualify as driver for the automobile patrol and transacted several other matters of interest. The meeting was delayed about a half hour while the commissioners waited for Commissioner R. R. Healey, business out of town prevented him from attending. Frank Holmes, the newly appointed member, was present and s was Mayor Quigley, the latter merely looked on and asked a few new appointee, He made no attempt to dictate to the board whatsoever. Joseph R. Andrews made no attempt to be present at the session, which was an executive one. Another rea- | son why he did not attend, or try to, may be because it was called by Mr. Alling, whom he refuses to recognize as temporary chairman. It was left until the last to appoint a permanent chairman, and Mr. Alling received all three votes. O'Keefe to Take Lessons. The most important action was con- cerning Dennis O'Keefe. The board voted to permit O'Keefe to take out the patrol for two hours every day for about ten da and recelve in- structions from a competent automo- bile driver. 1f, at the end of this time, it appears that he is not competent to fill the position, he will be dropped.
