PERSONAL BY JOHN SANDOVAL (Edltor'l Nolii: Op'mlon. In thli column do not nocssiarlly thoio of the publisher). iRULES AND REGULATIONS Under section Five of Civil Service Ordinance 330 N. S. the was directed to adopt for thc administration of ordinance.

Accordingly, when thc Commission was formed Seventeen Rules and Regulations were drawn up and approved for the guidance of the administrators of the Ordinance. The copy we have doesn't have date printed on it but we suppose it was force late in 1942, or early 1943. At that time the members of the 'commission were Waller tf'ljerl, chairman; Chris Nielsen, and Anthony L. Kelly. C.

W. White, the cily allorney, was lisled as sec- relary of Ihe commission. The- rules and regulations define terms of the Ordinance, specify meetings, and the classi- fiealion plan, violations of rules, compensation schedules, conduct of examinalions, weighing of examinations, percentage minimum necessary to qualify eligible lists, types of appointments, probationary period (six months), attendance and leaves, appeals hearings, a i i of employees and reports and records. In 1938 resolution 1071 -had been passed directing payment of two weeks salary in addition to the ordinary monthly salary to those city employees not taking annual vacation with pay. On March 19, 1945 by unanimous vote this resolution was rescinded by new resolution 15CO.

II was council composed of Haar, Holland, Mauler, Phillips abd Mays. Then al Ihe lasl clcclion in May of Ihis year an amendment to Sec- One of the Original Ordinance 330 N. S. was submitted lo ihe voter and passed, providing the Librarian and Airport be. like the heads of all other city dcpartmcnls, from the provisions of Civil Local Ball Player In TO MAKE HER HOME IN AMERICA--Hon.

Mary Markharn, -daughter of Lord and Lady Markham and niece of Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, has just disclosed thai she will make her home in the Uniled States. She is pictured in Chicago's central railroad depot. Reason for her decision is that she claims "the English are loo snobbish and stuffy." Right now the English people are in a clamor over a fighl between an American who desires to live in England while the British government desires he get out, largely because of the ration set-up. His name is Richard Harding Davis. (International Soundphoto) There may have been other amendments and resolutions made concerning Civil Service but we were not able lo find them in our records.

There was, of course, tho emergency war status --slill in effect, we believe, which provided for the suspension of any regulations of Civil Service the -status of temporary appointments. Then on May 20, 194fi, at a meeting there was inlro- BCced a Resolution No. N. S. changing section I) of Rule IX of 'Civil Service.

At the same meeting the resolution was passed and adopted by AYE vote of Holland, Phillips, Silva, Wilson and Haar. The original rule road: "Certi- ficalion from Ihe promotional or employmenl lisl is preferred." "If appointment is to be mado from an employment or promotional list, the name of a person willing lo accepl appoinlmenl shall be certified in thc order of i names appear on the lisl. The person appearing highest on the lisl lo 'be certified and if only one posilion is to be filled only one name shall be certified The seclion goes on in reference temporary appointment. The new amendment reads: "If appointment is to be made from an employment or promotional list, the names of throe persons, if there be Ihe names of three persons on Ihc lisl, shall be cerli- fied in Ihe order of which names on such list, and if there less than names of three persons, such lesser number of names of.persons shall be certified in the order of which names appear on such lisl It was Ihc adoption of this new which caused Chris Nielsen to resign from the commission in the stormy session re- His position was thai by vgiving the Council (not the head of a city department) the right employ, any of the three top Vhen it would destroy the intent Civil Service which is to give ithe man who passes the examinations highest tho first chance at job. all'five Councihnen voted this amendment, there lust be some good reason for fceir desire to have it so.

R. Ewing ASK CITY PARKING SURVEY Planning Commission Seeks $1500 for Study of Situation Seek ins to establish a sounc basis for arriving at an answer to the rapidly i i parking srpblems of the city of Hayward tho City Planning commission las night unanimously adopted resolution, asking the council to allocale $1500 lo pay expenses a survey of Ihc local parking situation. Opinions of the commission members as expressed al ihe meeting were IhaJ inadequate parking facilities are costing Hayward merchants heavily as trade is driven away from their 'stores by ihe lack of downtown parking space. Cost of the survey, they feel, would be more than regained if a practical solution to the problem is arrived al as a result of the study. Ideas connected with the city's proposed annexation of two rcsl dential sections were also discussed inforiiialjy by commission members, and two new subdivision proposals were approved by the commission.

At present, more money is required lo produce and Ihis increased cosl of production is at Ihc expense of profit.
