The Civil Service Commission only certified the name of one eligible for each vacancy, the Health Board in the past having insisted on thrée names from which to make a selection. The name of William H. Lamb alone was certified for market inspector, and he was formally ap- pointed to the position, which he is now filling. Dr. Buckley moved that the hoard recede from its position demanding the certification of three eligibles, but the motion was lost. President Casey op- posed such a course, saying that he would never consent to permitting the Civil Service Commission to constitute itself arbitrarily the appointing power. Several thirty-day appointments were made of emploves whose salary war- rants were disapproved by the Civil Service Commission because their names were not certified for the posi- tions they occupy. 4 The resignation of Mrs. McGrath, ma- tron of the Emergency Hospital, was aecepted, but Her successor was not ap- pointed. ;.

Ewer since its inception the.Kahn Livernash contest for Representative in l Congress from the Fourtly California District has been steadily accumuylating | complicat s to vex the legal mind, contains nothing mcre perplexing than | the question that was developed yes- terday. So puzzling is it that Mayor Schmitz has called the Election Lom- missioners to meet at 11 o'clock to- morrow morning for the purpose of ; sizing up the situaticn and, if possible, devising key to it Regist Walsh is the chief cHarac- ter in the latest chapter of this inter- esting serial. Some time ago he was commanded by the Elections Commit- tee of the lower house of Congress to produce in Washington all the disputed ballots in the contest, and yesterday he complied with that demand to the ex- tent of shipping ihe ballots through Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express to the nation’s capital, his intention being to follow them there next Sunday and take charge of them while they are being used as evidence before the com- mittee. Late last evening, however, Mayor Schmitz remembered that Mr. Walsh's official term expires on Janu- ary 7, and that if he has charge of the | ballots after that date they will be in | the hands of a person who has no legal right to hold them. As soon as this discovery was made the Mayor's secre- tary, George Ileere, telephoned to Wells-Fargo to hold the ballots until further orders, but there was nobody in the express ~mpany's office qu fied to obey the request, even if it were not too late to do so, and the proba- bility is strong that the baliots are now speeding toward Washingten. Just what the Election Commissioners can do to disentangle the new compli- cation is a question which some legal experts are trying to solve. It is said that a few days ago Mr. Kahn, antici- pating just such a move as Mr. Walsh magde yesterday. and foreseeing its con- sequences. suggested that Mr. Walsh be appointed a special deputy registrar to act without pay frem January 7 until he returns from Washington with the ballots, but the Mayor was unable to adopt the suggestion. because the charter specifically provides that all depuiy registrars must be appointed from the civil service list, and Mr. ‘Walsh is not on that list. Perhaps the Election Commissioners may find a way out by deciding that Mr. Walsh's successor shall net be ap- pointed unti! he bas restored the miss- ing ballots to the Registrar’s office, and perhaps this remedy may be considered | Lr;convenlem, if not found impractica- e. One thiag is certain: The meeting ¢f the Election Commissioners to-mor- ! row morning will be more than usually ! interesting. ———— % Making More Cell Accommodation.
