Losing Speculation Sparks Kings County Sheriff Merit System Clash
The Kings County sheriff's appointment of seven assistant deputies from the Civil Service list marks the end of a six year battle by patronage forces to resist merit system rules. Since 1902 these salaried, classified posts faced legal tussles, with deputies once serving unpaid while courts debated classification. Recent appellate decisions upheld the Civil Service law, ending patronage claims and leaving the appointed men without pay despite warnings of illegality.
