Upon examination of the pertinent statutes of Ohio relating to civil service, a majority of the court is of the opinion that one receiving a provisional appointment under Section 486-14, General Code, in the absence of an eligible list, becomes an appointee in the classified service within the contemplation of Section 486-8 (b), General Code, entitled to retain his position during good behavior and efficient service,-until the establishment of an eligible list, or until his services are terminated by arriving at the mandatory retirement age, or until the abolishment of the position, or a lay-off.,

Being in the classified service, he may not be summarily dismissed; his removal is governed by-Section 486-17a, General Code.

The demurrer to the petition is overruled and, it being agreed that such determination is dispositive of the case, the writ is allowed.

Writ allowed.
