Reference Given to Veterans.

Concerning the preference given to
United States soldiers and sailors
lhonorabIy discharged for disability
incurred in line of duty the report
says:
With view to securing to those
Ihonorably discharged from the mill
tary or naval service by reason of
disability incurred in line of duty the
benefits granted by section 1854 of
the revised statutes, the civil service
rules give preference to such per-
sons in examinations by requiring
them to obtain an average of only %
in order to pass, in certification by
placing their names at the head of
the register before all others not
veterans, and in cNempting them
from all age limitations. The pref
crcnce thus conferred extends to all
who have at any time been dis
charged from the military or naval
service by reason of disability incur
red in line of duty, and is not con
fined to those who have served dur
ing a war.
y table accompanying shows that
45 appointments of preference claim
ants were made during the year. most
of these being to positions in the
departments at Washington. The
average age of these preference
claimants was less than so years. In
the appendix to the report the pref
erence given to honorably discharged
veterans of the war of the rebellion
| and the Spanish war i'll
| the matter of reinstatement to the
civil service is mentioned. Such vet
Grams, their widows, and army nurses
of either of these wars may be rein
stated without regard to the length
of time they have been separated from
the civil service. That this is n sub
stantiaI benefit apears from the fact
that during the fiscal year covered
by the report 131 such persons were
reinstated. or over Is per cent on the
entire number of reinstatements.
transfers.. Temporary Appointments. Etc.
The commission regards the num-
Der of transfers effected during the
year (559) as excessively large. and
| in the interest of the individual rath-
err than the public service, and at
tention is called to the fact that the
transfer rule has since been amend
ed to restrict transfers within the
same line of work.
| At the end of the statistical por-
ton of the report proper are pre-
scented the results of a comparison
of the number of persons examined,
appointed, transferred. etc. during
the fiscal year ended June 80. 1901,
with the corresponding figures for
I he previous fiscal year. From this 1t
apDears that there was an increase of
1859 in the number of persons who
took competitive examinations, and
an increase of sos in the
number who received appointment.

Second Charter Amendment
Wrongfully Voted

II has been discovered that one OF
the amendments 70 the city charter
passed at the last city election was
faulty Ia its construction. The one
referred TO u that known AZ the
second amendment. an amendment
fixing the time In which to file
claims against the city.
Ia tins ballot presented 70 the vot-
erv Il was marked "a section % OF
article VIII OF the city charter. As
a matter OF fact. 10 is section . OF
article Nv Of the charter. The error
was rst discovered when the clerks
az the city hall we're FASTING the
charter changes IN the bound vol
umes issued some time ago. No sec
ton like II could be found under ar
ticie VIII. and later Il was discovered
under article ~. The mistake will
probably have the effect Of inv1ldat-
ing the paass ge Of the amendment.
The faulty amendment as put on
