T.F. BAYARD,
_Secretary of State_.
EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, December 5, 1888_.
_To the Civil Service Commission_.
GENTLEMEN: The efficiency of the public service, in my opinion, renders
it necessary to include in the classified service and subject to
examination the employees in the railway mail service. The difficulties
in the way of this movement can, I believe, be overcome by carefully
prepared rules and regulations.
I have this day directed the Postmaster-General to so revise the
classification of his Department as to include these employees in one or
more classes; and in furtherance of my purpose I have to request that,
after conference with the Postmaster-General, you will prepare the
necessary modifications of the present rules and regulations to meet the
proposed extension.
Yours, very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION,
_Washington, D.C., December 5, 1888_.
The PRESIDENT.
SIR: The Commission recommends that Special Departmental Rule No. 1 be
amended by adding to the exceptions from examination therein declared
the following:
"10. In all the Departments: Bookbinders."
Very respectfully,
A.P. EDGERTON,
CHAS. LYMAN,
_United States Civil Service Commissioners_.
