The civil service examinations were
taken Feb. 8, and Mr.. Wallace is con-
ferring with the applicants. 1t is not
only necessary to employ person who
has passed the civil service examina-
ton, but to employ one who is equip
ped to take care of the work. The

is to be, get it right" and so it is alb
solutely necessary to get clean and
strong people for the positions.
One from Each Precinct.
The city of Rock Island is divided
into 16 census districts, one for each
ward precinct in the city. 1t is neces-
sary that an enumerator be employed
from each precinct. At the time of the
civil service examination % people

was not represented, so further exam
nations were held this afternoon
Mr.. Wallace will be in Moline this
evening and will leave tonight for
