BRATTLEBoRo, Aug. 81, 1893.
Sir:-I beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your communication of the 10Th inst,
asking for information concerning the APP
pointment of the successor of =. II. Lynch
to the carrier service, it having been
charged that Sidney II. Farr, the senior
substitute carrier in this office, was not ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.
on June -, 1887. the postmaster gen
eral appointed d. +. Tasker. w Z. Bar
Der, Spencer w. Knight and p. II. Lynch,
letter carriers at this Office, and at the same
time appointed Thomas A. Austin, Sidney
H. FAIR, John A. Lindsey and VIM. Boyce,
substitute letter carriers. Aug. IT, =. j.
Higgins was appointed substitute IN place
of Boyce, declined to qualify. July 81,
1SSS. Thomas Austin was appointed third
class letter carrier July. 1892, George +.
Root was appointed substitute letter car
rier, and more recently. Carl Henkel has
passed civil service examination and his
name has been placed on the eligible list Of
substitute carriers.
On June 10, 1898, =. II. Lynch was sus-
pended for careless handling of mail and
misconduct. Previous TO this Farr and
Lindsey had frequently served as substi-
tutes as well as Root. No preference was
shown in their employment as oftentimes
it was not convenient for any one of them
to leave his other work At the time of
LynCh's suspension, Farr was in Chicago
in attendance upon the fair, and it was in
convenient for Root to serve, while Lind
sey, who was employed in Job printing
establishment, found it next to impossible
to leave his work. He argued that as he
was appointed at the same time, and under
the same circumstances as FAIR, he was en-
titled to the same consideration whenever
a permanent appointment was made. As
Farr was not to be had at the time, and as
the eXigency of the case required mme-
date action on my part, the morning mail
then awaiting delivery had no other al
tentative, hence sent Lndsey's name TO
the department, after it was understood
that Lindsey's coming involved the loss of
his place in the printing establishment.
There was no fayoritism shown in the
selection; it was simply a case of necessity.
Both were efficient and reliable, and both
claimed the position. Farr was not to be
had at the time because of his absence from
the town and was simply compelled to act
as | did.
Let me say in conclusion that this Office
believes in the spirit and letter Of the civil
