Sherman S. Rogers, Respondent v. the Common Council of the City of Buffalo, Appellants

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the New York Civil Service Act's provisions limiting the party composition of state civil service commissioners, requiring mayoral regulations to be approved by the state commission, and mandating fitness examinations for appointees do not violate the New York Constitution's disfranchisement, due‑process, appointment, or test clauses. The statutes are therefore valid and enforceable.
