CIVIL SERVICE RULE
EFFECT IS STUDIED
District Jobs Wanted Solely
for Residents of City
by Trade Board.

Study of the effect of placing en-
plcyeS Of the District government under
civil service regulation to determine
whether this system, recently adopted
under authority of an Executive order
by President Hoover, might mean that
out-of-town applicants for positions
would obtain appointments sought by
local residents will be made by the
Boari1 Of Trade
The Executive Committee of the trade
body yesterday decided to name a COM
mittee to make an investigation of the
matter after fears were expressed by
some members of the organization that
local taxpayers might not have first
CHARGE for employment under the local
government according to the system Of
certihcation Of applicants by the Civil
Service Commission.
Local Residents Favored.
Members of the body voiced the opin-
ion that the civil service rules should
apply only to local applicants for posi-
ttonS. rather than to include those from
other sections of the country.

the Board Of Trade also was announced
