D. c. CIVIL SERVICE
PROCEDURE CITED
Preference Given Residents
Of District, Commission
Points Out.

Explaining it desires to clear up mis-
apprehension existing in some quar-
ters in the light of renewed agitation
for competitive civil service for Dis
trict government employees, the Civil
Service Commission today pointed out
that apportionment does not apply to
local appointments
Among the regulations adopted in
1882, when the District got modified
form of civil service, statement eX-
planned, is ''one which provides that
preference in certihcation will be given
to those residing in the District of
Columbia. If there are no local or
nearby eligibles available, appoint
ments are authorized by the Civil
Service Commission outside the reg
lister, which means that local appoint
ments may still be made.
With respect to the higher-grade
professional and scientific positions,
preference is given to eligibles resid-
ing in the District Of Columbia. At
the time the regulations were adopted
officials of the District of Columbia
government considered it desirable to
permit scientific positions to be filled
with eligibles Of the highest possible
qualifications. 1t was accordingly pro-
vided in the regulations that in the
absence of eligibles residing in the
District of Columbia the Civil Service
Commission would certify eligibles ap-
pearing at the head of the register re-
gardless of residence.
There is no plan proposed by any
one as far as the commission knows
which would change the present pro-
cedure of giving preference In ap-
pointments in the District of Columbia
government to local residents.
This principle is a standard one
which is recognized not only by the
District of Columbia government ap-
pointments, but in appointments to
local civil service positions under the
Federal Government in all parts OF
the United States. 1t is recognized
to be a good procedure to fill such
local appointments by local citizens
who pay taxes and otherwise owe al
legiance to the respective local COM
munities. 1t is only to appointments
in the departmental service that the
epportionment applies"

COUNTY MEDICAL
IS DRAFTED

A circular placed in the mails

which, it says In the sheet, every

free. The letter is addressed to
county school trustees and is sign
ed by Olaf Aasheim, county superin-

The Herald at this time neither
opposes nor endorses the plan, but
merely reprints excerpts as a mat
ter of public interest.
According to the circulated state
ment, a Plentywood doctor has
agreed to give medical and surgical
service to all Sheridan county
people for $4,000 a year. Adding,
the circular declares it would be an
impossibility for one doctor to
handle all cases, but the school dis

ready expending for health officers
will provide medical service" BY
this is meant more than one doctor
would be employed by the plan, sug-
costing each of two doctors was
paid an annual salary of $4,000.
