WEST VIRGINIA
IS THE TENTH.
In the Number of Employees
in the Government Service
in Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. H.
West Virginia stands tenth among
all the states and territories in the
number of government employees in
Washington in proportion to its pop
ulation. The civil service records
show that there are 145 persons EN-
ployed in Washington under civil
service laws who are credited to
West Virginia.
I Naturally the District of Columbia
stands first In number of employees
in proportion to population. Mary
land and Virginia, Immediately adj
jacent to the District of Columbia
with 427 employees each, stand re-
spectively second and third. Della
ware, Wyoming, Nevada and Arizona
with few employees but small popula-
ton, come next in order, with Yer
mont, Rhode Island and West Viz
ginia next. Eliminating the adjacent
states and the District OF Columbia,
together with the smaller states
which have a large proportion even
IL they have but few employees, and
West Virginia stands near the head
of the list. In actual number OF en-
ployes in Washington under civil
service the state stands twenty-first
out of the fifty-two states and terri
tories represented. -,
On the whole, from these figures.
it may be seen that West virginians
form an important part of the Of
iice-holdlng community of the capt
tai.
From the time of instltuting the
civil service in 1853 to June 80 1910,
the total number of civil service APP
pointments made from West Vic
ginia to Offices in Washington has
been III by examination. % by re-
instatement and 81 by transfer.
Death, resignation and removal have
taken 1O5 from this number. leaving
10 in the service now.
