the commission in accordance with
its rules and. regulation. The only
exception as to the application of this
section Is found in Section 1878.
which provides that this chapter shall
not apply to any sheriff or deputy
sheriff: and shall not be construed to
require the examination of any . per
son employed on April 4. 1913. in eith
er the police or fire department of
the city and county.' 1 understand
that the present chief of the fire de
partment was employed on and prior
to April 4, 1913. By its terms, the
chapter applies to each and every
member of the fire department from
the top to the bottom. Such employes
who were in the department on April
4, 1913, or have since been appointed
according to the rules of the Civil
Service Commission can only be re
moved under the provisions of Sec
tion 1876 of the Revised Lews of Ha
waii, 1915, which provides, 'Whenever
any person In the police department
or fire department has been appoint
ed under these provisions, he shall
bold his position during good behavior
subject to removal only, as provided
by said rules and regulations.'
"Unquestionably, the chief of- the
fire department is within the civil aer
vice rules and his reappointment Is
unnecessary at' the present time. In
fact In order to remove him proceed
ings would have to be brought against
him because of Inefficiency or some
other cause under the' provisions of
section 1876. So long as there is no
cause for his removal, and so long as
be keeps said position during good be
havior, the board of supervisors or
the mayor would have nc" more con
trol ever , dismissal or over the ap
pointment of some other person than
has the sheriff over the appointment
or removal of his police officers with
out cause." ' r :
