Headnote

Proceeding by the People of the State of New York, on the relation of Richard S. Steves, against John E. Kraft and others, constituting the Civil Service Commission of the State of New York.

Final order reversed, with costs, and motion for mandamus granted, with $50 costs and disbursements, upon the ground that the decision of the commission in transferring the position from the competitive to the exempt class is palpably erroneous and illegal. See, also, 133 N. Y. Supp. 1140 .
