EXAM INATI0NS TO BE
HELD FOR POSTMASTER
AT ROSWELL OFFICE

ESPECIAL coRREsPoEoENcE TO hoRhhe JOURNAL
Roswell. n. NJ, Aug. 22.-Undcr a
new classification Roswell postoffice
will have a civil service examination
of app icants for a postmaster there.
The office is said to be the only one
in New Mexico to which certain re-
qurements apply,
Postmaster Radney of Roswell will
pass out in September if he be not re-
appointed. He is a cousin of the wife
of the postmaster general and the
original appointment was made as a
personal choice of Burleson, over the
heated protest of Congressman Fer
gusson, who supported an applicant
endorsed by one Of the party factions
at Roswell. and even asked republican
senators to refuse to confirm the Sc
lection of Radney.
In this civil service examination,
contrary to the old method for bust
ness experience and training, 80 points
are to be allowed and 20 for eduea-
tiOnal tests. Formerly, and perhaps
still in examinations for smaller Of
fees, an educational test was the only
feature, experience and business
training not being listed as qualifica-
tons, in the examination queries. The
Roswell postmaster chosen must be
one who has had actual experience for
three years in a managerial capacity.
The requirements are wise and
should be generally applied to all Of
fees important enough for a salaried
postmaster of the second class, that
is, those where the government pays
the salaries Of all clerks and assistant
postmaster. In the second class are all
offices, the total receipts Of which
aggregate $4,000 year. The proba-
bility is that the postmaster general
reduced the charees of the Roswell
delative losing out, to the minimum
IN the new classification act or regu-
latiOn.

Nothing has been heard here today
