State Ex Rel. Thompson v. City of Seattle

I dissent.

Appellant was appointed, after an examination therefor, to the classified civil service position of plumber in the park department. At all times subsequent *Page 113 to the appointment, there has been sufficient plumbing work to be done in the park department to keep at least one plumber employed full time. Being the only eligible to employment for such work, the board of park commissioners should have employed appellant, and not others who are not plumbers, to perform that work.
