Civil Service Reform Group Attacks City Job Exemptions
The Civil Service Reform Association accuses New York city agencies of expanding exemptions from competitive exams in the Controller’s and Commissioner of Accounts offices. Elliot H. Goodwin cites 142 exempt positions, with 38 added since January, and warns such exemptions turn the bureaus into spoils instruments used by political parties under Tammany Hall. He calls for examination-based appointments to curb patronage.
