which he performs his duties. The
following is the circular:
with view of reducing suspensions

plOye, showing his shortcomings, Ne

incompetency, dishonesty and insubor-
dination; and for other serious offenses.
some demerit mark will be assessed
in each case, representing one days

offense additional demerit marks may
be assessed. Each person will be en-
titled to 65 demerit marks before dis
