Aids Men Discharged Ease Shock of: Turnover in Sheriff' s Office—$250 Eacli Voted to Logan and Walker Widows The resources of the Suffolk Coun- ty Police association will be used to assist associati on members who have been dismissed from the Suffolk eoun- . ty sheriff' s staff as a result of the political turn over that followe d the gubernatorial appointment after the death of Sheriff Jacob S. Dreycr Immediately after taking offic e two week s ago , Sheriff John J. Levy, Baby- lon Democrat , abolished six deputy sheriff positions , and , according to present indications , some or all ol the eight remainin g deputies soon will be replaced. , The move to assist association mem- ber s , who have lost their jobs as a result of the upheaval , was tak en at a meeting of the associ ation last Wednesday night in the Old Oak ho- tel , Patchogue , with about 200 per- son s present , the largest attendance in some time. .. . . . ... The association also indicated that it would give comp lete co-operation to the new sheriff. When Deputy Sheriff William Lindsay offered a res- olution to the effect that tlie members give such assi stance to Mr. Levy, President John W. Sutter of Hamp- ton Bays , who presided , said that it has always been the policy of tbe association and its membership to extend such co-operation. The meeting lacked much of tne usual gaiety due to the fact that with- in a few day s ' time death had claimed three popular associ ati on memb ers , Sheriff Dreyer , Bert Walker of the di strict attorney ' s office and Lieut. Welden A. Logan of the Patchogue Police department. The usual sum of $250 was voted to be given to the widows of Walker and Logan. . William Stochl of Bohemia , deposed warden of the county jail , called at- tention to the situation created by the mass discharge of the deputy- sheriffs , most of whom wer e lett stranded without the \usual protection devices , such as social security , -which is available to persons in many ether occupations. He suggested that the association make its resources avail- able to the new members who now find themselves in distress. The association is believed to have between $20 , 000 and $30 , 000 in its treasury to help meet sueli emergen- cies. Following Mr. Stoehl' s recommen- dation , President Sutter ' said he be- lieved the membership as a whole was in accord with tlie suggestion . Snow Cost in Town Reaches $61 , 574 Supt. Davis ' Final Bills Are Presented Town Board Votes to Borrow $31 , 25d on Certificates to Clear Up Numer- ous Payments Due Snow costs in Brookhaven town during the past winter totalled $61 , 574.87. This fi gure was reached last week , when the Brookhaven Town board au- thorized the borrowing of $31 , 25484 covering the remaining bills on snow removal and incidental costs. The $31 , 254.84 included payrolls for the menth of March , during which two heavy snowstorms took place. On March 25 , the Town board ap- proved the borrowing of $2., 320.03 for bills paid up to the latter part of March , but not including the March payrolls. This was in addition to the $10 , 000 appropriated for snow pur- poses in the 1941 town highway bud- get. Town Highway Superintendent Har- old F. Davis said Thursday th at the $61 , 574.87 grand total covers the win- ter ' s entire snow costs. County Studying Extension of Law 0n Civil Service Persons employed by the county, town s , villages and school districts in Suffolk who will have been employed for one year prior to the effective date for the forthepming adoption -of civil service rule and regulations \in the county, shall continue to hold their positions , without having to submit to examinations , and shall be given the rights and privileges of the civil service class to which their position s are allocated. This is pointed out in a report to the Board of Supervisors by County Attorney Edga r F.. Hazleton on leg- islative changes which extend the pre- visions of the Civil Servic e law to Suffolk county, making the provisions effective in these units of government not later than December 31 , 194:2 , , In his report , 3Mr. Hazleton also said that of the several optional form s of administering the law , it is fair to assume that Suffolk will adopt that Itnown as the county civil service ' commission , the same as now exists in Nassau eounty. Such a commission , it is explained , would h ave jurisdiction over county, town and village employees , but school district employees would come under the jurisdiction of the State Civil Service commission. Mr. Hazleton ' s report follows : The courts of this state have re- cently indicated that the provisions of the Civil Service law , as require d by the Constitution of the . ' State of New * York , be extended to include those empl oyed by local govern- mental units in the various counties , towns and villages of the State. \To bring this about , the Civil Ser- vice Extensi on bill was passed at the last session of our State Legislatur e and has become law by the signature «>f the governor. • - \This new law concerns all thos e [holding positions in the towns , county, villages , school districts and other units of our local government in Suf- folk. In quiry has been made as te low tlie law will be administered and -what effect at will have upon present employees. It is with the hope of answering tfiose question s I respect- iully submit the following. Follow Nassau Examp le? . j 4 , : H ® • \Of the several optional forms . of administering the law , it is fair . to assume that the one that . . -will be adopted in Suffolk county is that fcnown as tlie County Civil Service commission. Such a commission ex- ists at the present time in Nassau county and may be appointed by the Board of Supervisors in such a man- ner that not more than two-thirds of such commis*sion shall , at any time., be adherents of the same political party. Rotati on In office is secured by the provision that in the first in- stance members must he appointed for terms of two , ion . and six years respectively, and thereafter for a six-year term. •\Such a commission would have ex- actl y the same powers and duties as are now conferred upon city civil ser- vice commissions. However , the State Civil Service commission would con- tinue to hav e jurisdiction over all \the local school districts in Suffolk coun- ty and those employed by said dis- tricts. Such school districts will come under the Civil Service rules at a time fixed by the State Civi l Service commission which shall be not later than December 31 , 1942 . Because no local agency is to be created , it is possible tliat* the Civil Service rules may be extended to school districts at an earlier date. ' i \Appointing officers are empowered in their discretion to impose residence qualifications , limiting appointments to the residents of the county, town or other civil division in which the appointment is to be made. The county commission may , for example, hold an examination for the position of stenographer , limited to residents of the county . If an appointing offic- er in a village within the county re- quires the certification of names of eligibles of the village , . the county commission would merely certify to him the highest three names on the county-wide lists who are residents in the particular village in which the appointment is to he made. \Quoting from the second report of the New York State Commission on Extension of the Civil Service. \ 'The commission recommends that no labor class be established in cpun- ties. The civil service law now auth- orizes a labor class in cities but in the state service all laborers are in the exempt class. The labor class has not proved satisfactory in cities and its extension to counties is not recom- mended. ' Old Employees ' Status \All present employees may be con- tinued in their positions without be- ing required to pass an examination , but such employees are not given civil service privileges prior to the effective date fixed by the commi s sion for the adoption of civil service rules and regulations. During th at period , such employees will be in the non- competitive class and will have sub - stantially the same status as they have at the present time , except that vet- erans and volunte er firemen will have the additional rights provided \ by law. \It is impracticable to ' extend to such employees civil service privileges prior to the effective date of adoption of civil service rules and regulations , because indications are that . only 20 to . 25* per cent of the position s not now under the civil service are v likely to be placed in the competitive elass. \The bill provides , liowever , that present employees who Tiave been em- ployed for one year prior to the ef- fective date for the adoption of civil service rules and regulations shall continue to hold their positions and shall be given the rights and privi- lege s of the civil service class to which their positions are allocated. \The commission that studied this subject is convinced that present em- ployees can be retained in office in this manner in full compliance with the provisions of the Constitution. Evidence submitted at the public hear- ings , indicates that this is the com- mon and accepted practice wh en civil service rules are extended to new jurisdicti ons. •\The State Civil Service commis- sion has never required incumbents of positions to take an examination when it has extended the civil service rules to units of government which have not therefore been under its juris- diction. \Th e same practice has been followed when private agencies , such as water companies , have been acquired by the State and have th ereby come under the jurisdiction of the State Civil Ser- vic e commission. The procedur e auth- orized by the Legislature , is in con- formity *with the practice that has been followed in. this State ever since the adoption of the civil service cl ause in the Constitution in 1884. Time Limit Set | _ = —<$> '¦•Before setting up the County Civil Service commission as authorized by the bill , a .pub lic hearing must be held , providing such selection is made on or before December 31 , .1941. If our .Board of Supervisors, selects the county commission form , appointment of ihe three civil service commission - ers must likewise be made within the same period. If the county fails to select or fails to establish the agen- cies selected prior to December 31 , 1941 , the county will automatically come under the jurisdiction of the State Civil Service commission (>n January 1 , 1942. \ Th e County Officers association is now preparing the proposed form of resolution to . be used by the County Board of Sup ervisors in adopting civil service. En the meantime , everything is \ being held in abeyance until such time as the County Attorneys of the State of New York have had an op- portunity to study the law as enacted and present suggestions, \ WORKSHOP COURSES , 3IOFSTRA Workshop courses m art ,Dramatics , music , English and creative express sion will be featured in a six-week ' summer session in the division of edu- cation at Hofstra college , this sum- mer , says ' Mrs. Marie Hoar Cramer , director of the division of education at the Hempstead institution.
