geant Oscar McDade. shows that the
number of arrests made during the
month was 447. This Is ninety-three
less than were made during the month

MANY ARE EXAMINED
THIRTY--TvE APPLY FOR JOBS IN
POsTOFFICE.


The greatest number of applicants
for positions as post office carriers or
clerks that has appeared before the
Board of Examiners for several years
appeared yesterday. There were thir-
ty-five applicants. of whom twenty
three were negroes and twelve whites.
one of the later being g woman.
The examination was conducted py
Secretary o. G. Irwin, J. NJ Cults and
Mrs. Agnes Ferrendina, of the local
civil service examining board, all of
whom are connected with the post Of
flee department
This was special examination ana
was called on account of the shortage
of the eligible list, on which there are
now only four names of applicants
who have passed previous examinations
and who are eligible for positions as
carriers or clerks. Two of these are
negroes and two are whites. These
four will not take priority unless they
stand highest on the list of eligibles
after the department has passed on
those examined yesterday.
Montgomery Is at present allowed
only nineteen carriers and clerks and
there are no vacancies. In case there
is a vancancy at any Time 1t is the
duty of the postmaster to chose from
bIes. regardless of color distinction.
Applicants for positions must show
an average in examination as high as
seventy before they can be placed on
the eligible list
Secretary Irwin said that those ex-
amined yesterday made an unusually
good showing and he thought fully
twenty of them would pass.
1t Is thought that the number OF
al IN
gomery office will soon be increased as
the business has greatly increased in
volume and the office is badly in need
of more men.
The large number of applicants for
examination yesterday Is doubtless due
to the action of Congress in making
the maximum annual salary of clerks
and carriers $1,000 starting all new
employees at $500 and increasing that
500 each year they are in the SER
vice until the maximum amount Is
reached.
