1899 in the Department of Charities to the so-called position of Superintendent of
Bellevue Hospital Dispensary. GARVEY was appointed to the position in question
without certification by the civil service commission, while various appropriate
lists existed from which an appointment might have been made. Payment for his
services was refused by both the Commission and the Comptroller on that ground,
after the various temporary appointments existing at the time the new rules were
framed were vacated.

Executive Chamber
Albany, May 5, 1900
Memorandum filed with Assembly bill No. 1971, introduced by Mr. Guider,
entitled "An Act to confer jurisdiction upon the court of claims to hear, audit
and determine the alleged claim of heirs, executors and administrators of
Margaret C. Considine deceased" Not — approved
This is an act to allow the court of claims to pass upon the claim of MARGARET
CONSIDINE for damages alleged to have been sustained by reason of the
cancellation of her license for a saloon. The cancellation of these certificates is
made by the court and large numbers of these cancellations are continually being
made. To allow an appeal to each one of the persons who feel aggrieved by such
cancellation would be practically opening the door to hundreds of claims whose
cases have already been passed upon by the court.
