UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION,
_Washington, D.C., February 8, 1889_.
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:
"11. In the Department of Justice: Assistant attorneys.
"12. In the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Experiment Stations:
Private secretary to the Director."
Very respectfully,
CHAS LYMAN,
_United States Civil Service Commissioner._
Approved, February 11, 1889.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION,
_Washington, D.C., February 9, 1889_.
The PRESIDENT.
SIR: This Commission has the honor to recommend that the order of the
President fixing the places to which appointments may be made upon
noncompetitive examination under General Rule III, section 2, clause
(_f_), may be amended by including among such places the following:
"In the Post-Office Department: Captain of the watch."
This recommendation is based upon the letter of the Postmaster-General
dated December 19, 1888, in which he says:
"I would request that places in the Post-Office Department subject to
noncompetitive examination be increased by including the position of
captain of the watch, as the duties of the position are of such a nature
that the head of the Department should be permitted to recommend for
examination such person as would possess such other qualifications in
addition to the merely clerical ones as would commend him to the head of
the Department to fill satisfactorily such position.
