Protested to Major "That the action of the said Thomas B. Smith with lespect to bald second notice of examination was wholly with out the knowledge or consent of a majority of the members of said Board of Recreation, and that the said Ernest L. Tustln, Henty Berkowitz and Sophia I Boss, aforesaid, did per sonally protest to tho said Major against his said action, whereupon the said Thomas B. Smith, Mayor, did state to the rfald members of said board that he did have the fcald change made In the qualifications for said position by the said hecretary of the Civil Service Commission of his, the said Mayor's, own motion, and because the said Uudehus did not pobsess the qualification of practical experience, and that he deslied to reward the bald Gudehus for peisonal services ion dered to him, Thomas B. Smith, by having htm, the bald Gudehus, ap pointed to bald post as supervisor, and that as he could not pass the examina tion required by law and be bo ap pointed under the requirement of practical experience on the part of the appointee to the said post of super visor, he had personally Instructed and directed the bald seeretaiy of the Clll Service Commission to cancel and re voke tho said llrst notice, and to advertise In its stead a becond notice of examination omitting the said qualillcatlon of practical cxpeilence on the part .of an applicant for tho said position of supervisor. Want of Kxperlenco "The said membeis of b.ild boaid last above leferied to objected to bald action of said Major and told him that thej could not conscientiously ote for the said Uudehus for the post of super visor because of his unfitness and want of expel lence, even though he passed the bald examination under the second notice udvcitised by said Civil St vice Commission as aboe set foith, and that tho action of the said Major was against the public interest and would ho injurious to tho work of the said Recreation Bontd, and that the ap pointment of said Gudehus as super visor would he Injurious to the public Interest, harmful to the work of said board, and to the detriment of the ed ucational sjstem established by said board and the welfaie of the school children of bald city. "Notwithstanding bald protests and objections by said members of bald board, the said Thomas B. Smith, Mayor, did state that he would expect the said members of said board to ote for and appoint bald Gudehus to bald position If he passed the said becond examination, and that It they did not do s he would lemovc them from their offices and nppolnt in their places and stead other persons who would vote for and appoint said Gudehus to bald position of supei visor. Result of Examination Afterward, the said examination having been held, the baid Civil Serv ice Commission did ceitify to the bald Board of Recreatlor. that but one person, to wit: said Gudehus, had passed the said examination with an average of 71 (70 being the minimum average requited by baid Civil Serv ice Commission, to entitle an appli cant to be placed In the list of eligl- bles for appointment), and that seven "other persons who took the examina tion at tlie same time, most of whom had had practical experlet.ee in con nection with the work of said Bo.ud of Recreation Itself, had failed to ob tain an average of 70, and were, there fore, not certified as ellgibles to said Board of Recreation. "Subsequently, the said Mayor did again communicate with the members , of the Board of Recreation above le- ferred to, and did demand that they should vote for and appoint the said Gudchus to said position of super visor. Whereupon, the said mem bers of the said Board did again pro test to the said Major that they could not In good conscience nte for or appntat tho said (iudcliiis because (if his incompetency ami unfitness, and because they were entitled by law, before making an appolntmn.t, to have a list of at least four ellgibles certified to the Board of Recreation by the Civil Service Commission, from which list of ellgibles a compe tent appointment might be made. Demand By Major "And the said Thomas It. Smith. Major, did again state to the said members of (aid Board that ho would rcqulro them to ote for tho satd (itidehiis, as he personally desired to reward tho said Gudchus, and had promised to gle him an appointment on tho city piijroll as a reward for personal services to hint, the satd Thomas B. Smith, and again did thieate;i the said members of the said Board that if they did not ote for the said Gudehus he would re moe them fiom otlice, and appoint others in their stead who would ote for the said Gudehus, and thus enable him, the said Thomas B. Smith, to leward the said Gudehus for personal sen Ices done for htm, the bald Thom as B. Smith. "And the bald Henry Beikowltz did, In a letter written to tho said Thomas B. Smith, Mayor, set forth his con scientious otllclal objections to the appointment of tho said Gudehus be cause of his want of qualification and fitness and to the course of the said Mayor in endeavoring to have such said appointments made, and other citizens, also Intel ested It. the welfare of said City and the education of the public school chlldieu of said City, did, in writing and otherwise, per sonally protest to said Major against his action in endeavoring to compel the said Board of Recreation to ap point the baid Gudehus to bald ofllce of supei visor, notwithstanding the members of said Board were unable In good conscience, because of the Incompetence and unfitness of said Gudehus, to -vote for his appoint ment. Calls for Resignations "And the said Thomas B. Smith, Major, did theieafter demand that the said members of bald Board of Recie atlon should leslgn their ottlces be cause of their baid lefusal to vote foi bald Gudehus for the post of super visor nnd In order that the said Major might appoint otheis In their stead who would appoint said Gudehus. "The said members of said boaid did not comply- with the demand of said Major that thej- should leslgn their ofllces for the leason ufotesald. and thereafter held a meeting of siid Board of Recreation on the ICth lav of July, 1918, nt which they passed a lesolutlon requesting the said Civil Seivlco Commission to hold an addi tional examination and certify to the said Board of Recreation) as requited by law, a list of at least four eligibles for the said post of supei visor, from which list the said board might make a lawful selection and competent ap. polntment. "Whereupon the said Thomas B. Smith. Major, in execution of his threat to remove the said members of the said hoard If they did not violate their official consciences nnd make an appointment believed by them to he unfit nnd Improper, did. In the unlaw ful, wrongful and abusive exercise of his discretion ns Major, lemovo the said Ernest V. Tustln, Henty Berko witz nnd Sophia E.
