sarge Number of Persons Have Taken
Examinations This Year.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The civil
service commission is overwhelmed
with papers of examinations for govern.
ment offices and the corps Of examiners
is working overtime to dispose of the
constant accumulation. So far during
this administration more people have
been examined by the commission
throughout the country than in any
previous year, largely the result of an.
ticipated changes in the rules, with
changes in the administration. Exam.
nations have just been held in 50 Of
the largest p%ostoffices in the country,
which are expected to increase the
number of cases by no less than 5000.
Chief Examiner Severn says all this has
developed without material increase Of
clerical force of the commission, except
for temporary details. Since March
there has been almost treble the amount
of business as compared with similar
periods in the past.
