uctHllp Aclutlu6 " u CAhLuAuhtlOA vi SoA-
didates for places in the civil service, and
to the application Of the new rules gov
erning appointments, were discussed.
The most important Of these was as to
what Interpretation should be given to
the words, "One family" In that clause
Of the Civil Service Reform bill, which
provides that when two persons Of one
family are employed in the civil service OF
the Government, no other member of that
family shall be eligible to appointment. As
the Commissioner do not intend to ex-
anime persons who are ineligible, they wish
to have the question definitely settled, and
will ask the opinion OF Attorney General
Brewster upon it. The desire to know
whether one family means only parents
and their children, or whether taking into
consideration the intent Of the law which,
was plainly the prevention Of nepotism,
the prohibition is to be understood AZ ex-
tending to nephews and nieces, brothers,
sisters, grandchildren, cousins, or rela-
tives by marriage Of persons holding
places in the civil service.
