handle is hein.sag/sagar0022 and id is 1 raw text is: STATE OF ARKANSAS OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL COPY January 13, 1965 Honorabille Leslie Svitte City Atterney 200 Butfington Building Benton, Askansas Dear Mr. Bvittes This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated January 11, 1965, in which you states The City of Benton weald like to know how it may proceed in establishing a Civil Service Comission to regulate the employment of uniformed and/or non-unifomed employees. The statutes we have are ambiguous and it would appear that these comissions have been abolished for cities of first class under certain population sises. As you may be aware, the City of Benton has recently annexed some 6,000 acres bringing the population to an estimated 16.000. May we qualify for a Civil Service Organisation? In my opinion* first class cities may set up Civil Service systems for police and tire departments under Act 28 of 1933 as amended by Act 326 of 1949 and Act 205 of 1959. These Acts are covered by Ark. Stat. Am. S 191601 (Note) through Sections 19-1618. Yours very truly, 8a0= 33TT Attorney General Bys RECHARD B. ACKZIaso Assistant Attoney General 88AsMaj
