ILLNESS CASE PUT HP TO Lyle Black, fireman, last night withdrew his application before the civil scrvlceboard for a one- year leave of absence. Black originally asked for the leave of absence, saying that he had been advised by the city man ager to be absent from the fire department in order that he might cure a malady which was alleged to hamper his efficiency and was also alleged to be communicable to other men in the fire houses, lie said ho made his request un willingly as he believed himself cured, but he was asked to apply for this leave absence anyhow. The civil service board debated the matter for several weeks. Black's action in withdrawing his application for leave of ab sence, it is admitted, places the whole administrative end of the matter in tho hands of the city manager again. Black ran be suspended, in which case ho can appeal to the civil service board and reopen the whole case again Black's case was one of 20 cases which were brought to the atten tion of tho civil service board as a result of recent tests of all po llcemen and firemen.

The matter affected so many men that the I loath club, consisting largely of policemen and firemen, was represented at the hearing by Attorney Paul St. Bure, to see that the rights of the employees were not endangered.
