It is believed that if one Boro President can dismiss employees regardless of Civil Service protection, the other Boro Presidents can do the same, to the end that no man employed by the city would be secure in his job. At the office of the Civil Service Commission it was said that no notice about the layoffs had yet been received from Richmond. Among departmental heads the rule has been not to lay off employees who passed Civil Service examinations, except on charges. President Cahill declared that "found it necessary to reorganize his department and 1 am doing it." Charles 1.

When 'he entered the store Weinberg was wearing the uniform of senior lieutenant of the navy.

He explained, however, that he had just been commissioned a lieutenant commander in the Medical Corps and assigned to do research work at the Paris Peace Conference. He had to have the boat cloak at once in order not to miss the next sailing. Too Rushed to Pay--Never Has Paid.

He noticed that Jacobs wore heavy glasses. "Got trouble with your eyes?" Jacobs said that he had. "Why, not come over to the house and I'll look them over for you." Jacobs said that he accepted the invitation to undergo an optical examination by a lieutenant commander of the Medical Corps of the Navy. They arrived home at lunch time and he remained for luncheon, met the other members of the family and had a de. lightful time.

March 24-Although the Grand Jury returned an indictment against John Both and Andrew Weston of the contracting firm of Both and Weston, which some regard as a vindication for Supreme Court Justice Selah B. Strong. the Nassau County Bar Association will go ahead with its legislative investigation On the ground that it is not concerned in what the Grand Jury does but only in what, they charge, Justice Strong has done. The members of the Bar will not discuss the matter other than to say that when the proper time comes they will proceed with their testimony in support of the charges. The complete exoncration of Senator George L.

Thompson by the Grand Jury, which stated there was not a scintilla of proof of any attempt on the part of Senator Thompson to block legislation at any time, is regarded by the lawyers as supporting evidence of their charge. Now, with the discharge of the December Grand Jury, both sides are awaiting the next step. It is held by lawyers that the reading of testimony taken before the Grand Jury to members who were not present when the testimony was given is contrary to law. It is rumored round the courthouse that the John Doe investigations started by Justice Strong last December will be continued by him in April. but no confirmation of this rumor was obtainable, Just what the nature of the John Doe or who the person or persons to be investigated are is not clear by Dame Rumor.

The rumor is prevalent. however, and springs up from unknown channels. CRAIG BLOCKS MOVE FOR MAKING ZONE ALONG OCEAN AVENUE Pounds Argues Against TwoFamily Houses Between Aves. and -To Reconsider. Former Boro President Lewis H.
