animation to Messrs John Scott,
Curt Shilling and John Ross of the

a grade under 98. The examiner did
not hesitate to state that the clerks

pecially in the larger cities. The
salaries of p. O. clerks under Civil

OF service, provided they pass sue
cessfully the tests such as was given
here Tuesday.
