Luke Curry; T. S. Bolger, C. H. Knorp, F. C. Lester, A. Gerot and J. Harrington, members of relief and emergency companies of the San Francisco Fire Department, are en- titled to hold their positions by virtue of an ordinance passed by the Board of Supervisors on January 21, 1896. Judge Sloss so decided yesterday in his decision in the case of William Gleason against the Board of Fire Commissioners. Gleason * petitioned the Superior Court for a writ of mandate compell- ing the Commissioners to declare the positions held by these men vacant on the ground that they were doing the | work of machinists at the corporation vard. He wanted the positions filled by men from the classified civil ser- vice list of machinists, of whom he is one. Judge Sloss holds that the places in question are civil service positions, but that the men are holding them legally, first because of their-appointment as regular members of the Fire Depart- ment prior to,the existence of the Civil Service Commission and second- ly because they were placed ,under civil service by the reorganization of the department. —_——— Files Charges Against Fire Chief.
