«t your Cify goqgrnmenl: What 4 4s ;Doin_g Discuss Pension Status of Civil Service Employee Draftees With Chairman Howes; Representative Paddock Pledges Support to Harbor Project By ELMORE J. MURPHY Even though Officer Wilson Richâ€" ardson‘s call to the colors has been deferred for the time being, the penâ€" sion status under Civil Service of draftee Wilson and all others like him came up for considerable disâ€" cussion at Monday evening‘s Counâ€" cil meeting. On hand to contribute to the conâ€" versation was Byron C. Howes, chairman of the Civil Service Comâ€" mission serving this area.; 3 ‘As readers of this column will reâ€" call Officer Richardson had . petiâ€" tioned the council to protect him both in regards to seniority rights and future pension payments durâ€" ing the term of his service for the Federal government. The council Chairman Howes stated that senâ€" fjority rights of draftees in several communities were being protected by the appointment of a temporary emâ€" ployee, usually for sixty days with subsequent renewals, to take the place of the drafted man. â€" took the position for the time being at least that under existing regulaâ€" tions it was powerless to do so,. â€". While this procedure protected the draftee‘s term of service under Civil Service it did not solve the pension problem. Under the present law pension fund payments can not be made by anyone unless he is on the city‘s payroll. Again, as in Ofâ€" ficer Richardson‘s case, the harzards encountered in his proposed work of loading bomb racks and flying in military planes are a great deal greater than found in police work. Council action on Officer Richardâ€" son‘s case was again deferred until some precedence in the matter is set by the various Civil Service bodies. Commissioner Swanson reported on a recent safety meeting held in conjunction with the Ridgewood Drive association. £ Members of this group had exâ€" pressed some concern as to the adâ€" visibility of widening Green Bay road when viewed from the safety angle. ~They were fearful that widâ€" ening the street would increase the speed of motor cars using this road and consequently adding to the pedestrians, particularly school chilâ€" dren, in this area, A nationally known safety engineer who was in attendance at the meeting assured this group that widening the road would decrease rather than increase danger from this source, â€" , Ipon the suggestion of Commisâ€" sioner Bowes a second meeting will be held for the purpose of continuâ€" ing the discussion on safety and on other factors, such as the effect on property, brought about by this proâ€" jecet, Mr.. Bowes is of the opinion that it would be wise to clear up any misunderstandings concerning this work so that its start will not be delayed. From a report made by Commisâ€" sioner Sharp it appears that the City Council What It L 3D residents in the south end of town are not in favor of all night street lighting with the 100 watt lamps as recently suggested by the council. A survey recently taken in this area reveals that it favors retention of the 250 watt bulbs and turning them off at 2 p.m. The subject of alleys came in for‘ one of its periodic "days at court"‘ on Monday evening. It appears that in the days when alleys were conâ€" sidered just another place to dump refuse the city ordinance which stated that 10 feet on the back of every lot line must be left vacant for a thoroughfare, was repealed. At that time, however, the clutterâ€" ing up of the main streets of the city by delivery trucks and the addiâ€" tional obstacles placed in the way of the fire department by lack of ingress to the back of buildings, was apparently not considered. To cureâ€" this situation, Commissioner Swanson obtained the council‘s apâ€" proval to have the corporation counâ€" sel look into ways and means of reâ€" viving this old ordinance. Commissioner Swanson also sugâ€" gested the local dog pond problem could be solved by entering into a contract with Orphans of the Storm to take care of Highland Park‘s wayward canine population. The council authorized an=investigation into the matter for future action. Commissioners Sharp and Bowes reported that the incinerator and fire station will shortly be ready for official dedication. In an interview granted the conâ€" ductor of this column by George A. Paddock, newly elected representaâ€" tive from the Tenth Congressional district, the latter stated that he would do all in his power to see that Highland Park‘s harbor proâ€" ject would not get lost in the shutâ€" fle. & However, as recently indicated in this column, he stated that immediâ€" ate action by the government on this project was rather remote. With the country drifting . nearer and nearcr towards war ‘with the Axis powers it‘s practically a cinch bet that every dollar available will be spent for defense purposes. Repreâ€" sentative Paddock promised, howâ€" ever, when the time came when the government was expending funds for such purposes, he would leave no stone urnturned in his efforts to obtain approval of this very well worth while project.
