"J ft Ur - 1&4 Cfflciency in City Jobs Dopends en Action, Says Rosearch V f Bureau JlipPEALS TO COUNCIL v The Civil Service Commission should 'riTiP "uppuca wun me iiivcBiiguium ii Bureau of Munlclpql Research asserted ' today. "Tlic efficiency and IntegrJIy of our municipal service are, in large meas ure, dependent upon this action," the Bureau stated In reminding that pa trolmen assigned te civil service Inves tigations recently have been withdrawn by order of Council. The commission has asked Council te provide money for three investigators who can check up en the antecedents of applicants. The Research Bureau aid It believed the request will be granted. The Bureau continued : "It Is hardly possible te over-empha-alse tie Importance of the commission's work of character and experience in vestigation. Take, for example, the re cruiting of our police force. If no effort were made te inquire into the history of applicants for city jobs, we would been have en our police force a large number of men who arc uttcrlj Unfit te net as the guardlanB of the morals and the safety of the commu nity. Other branches of the hervice would be exposed te the Mime danger, though, perhaps, te a lesfcer degree. "Hew ncccsMiry this sifting process of character and experience invcstlga- tlen is may be appreciated from the fact that in 1021 approximately 11 per cent of all applicants who otherwise qualified as policemen and tlremcn were removed from the lists of cllgibles for appointment because of the disqualify ing facts in the past record of these applicants that the cemmisslbn's In vestigating corps brought te light. "The causes for which eligible- are removed from the lists are various. Heme eliglblcs are removed because they have misstated their ages in order te come within the age limitations ap plying te certain positions. Others are removed from the Hats because their I past experience has net been what they represented It te be in their formal atateracnt te the commission. KtUl ethers are found te have a reputation . that would make their appointment te ' the positions for which they nVe' chmli datcs extreme) undesirable. "And then there arc these eligiblcs who nre removed because they have criminal rcerds and because 'the Inw prohibits the employment of persons of this character In the branches of the servlce for which they are applying, "All of these causes are sutilciently grave te justify the Civil Service Com mission in debarring eligible from ap pointment, but without an adequately manned bureau of Investigation the facts for this wcedlns-eut process would net be uncovered. ARNOLD RELICS FOUND Key Check Thought te Have Been General's Discovered In Brooklyn ' New YeU, .Tan. 19. (By A. P.)
