 There has been forwarded to the provost marshal general at Washing ton, by Captain George H. Webb. di- rector of the draft for. Rhode Island, synopsis of his plans for consolidating the twenty two selectiVe boards of the state into one central administration office in the state capitol Under the proposed scheme the selective boards will be relieved of all clerical work. the keeping of records. issuing of calls ard all other duties, with the excep- ton of nobihzat ton work. The boards will retain their pe4;onnel and their jurisdiction authority, as vested in them under the selectivef service law. but will not be obliged to maintain the exhaustive system of records. All this work will be accomplished through the main draft office in Prov idence, and a deputy draft board, con- sisting of deputized representa- tives from selective boards, will be estab- hshed as a central administrative committee. The actual selection of men for various draft quotas the issuance of calls and the accompanying clerical work will be done at the main office. Draft board members will be called | upon to mobilize the men selected and to attend to their entrainment. Not only. will this scheme result in | financial economy, says Captain Webb, as it will do away with the necessity | for hiring paid clerks for all the se- 1 lectiye boards, but it will unburden l the sixty six selective board members who would be otherwise expected to observe office hours and attend to the clerical work. The approval of the plan by seiective boards is nearly
 unanimous, and the provost marshal | approves.
