IS Who Failed Test
Get Another Chance

Fifteen employees of the Dis
trict Recorder of Deeds Office.
slated for dismissal because they
f1unked a recent qualification
test. were to get another chance
today.
The decision was reached In
a conference between city and
Civil Service Commission offi-
cials late yesterday.
Originally it was thought that
16 Of the total Office force Of
56 faced firing. A recheck by
city officials showed this to be
an exaggeration by one.
The examination was held two
weeks ago. The congressional
act Of last June, which placed
control of the deeds Office under
the District Commissioners in
stead Of the President. required
tests for employees If they were
to keep their jobs and be brack-
eted under civil service. Some
Of the workers. mostly low-paid
women clerks, have served many
years in the Office.
Schuyler Lowe. director Of the
general administration depart
ment, said he wondered whether
the exam put a number Of the
employees in a nervous funk"
He indicated he favored q re.

assistant to the District person.
mel officer. concluded that an
other chance would be the best
solution.
The only alternatives were
outright dismissal, effective to.
morrow. or reclassification in 0
lower grade.
Both white and colored en-
ployes are involved. The office
is stated predominantly by
Negroes. Under the system in
which the recorder was presi-
dentially appointed. the office
also was known as a Juicy bit Of
patronage fruit.

The Citizens Advisory Council
today approved q plan to hire

Chief Murray estimated 1t

in the 1854 budget which will
be sent to Congress tomorrow.

haven't taken action on his orig
inal report as yet.

of the Advisory Council, said he
felt the plan was desirable II
the city could get the funds.
The council then unanimously
approved a motion recommend
ing the plan to the Commis-
sionerS.
Ask Supplemental Funds.
The motion also asked that
funds be requested in a supple
mental bill from Congress later
this year or at least be included
in the 1855 District budget.
Chief Murray said the 1929 900
needed would be split $187 900
for salaries and the remainder
for equipment. The part-time
men and women would work
only an hour or so in the morn
ing and in the afternoon.

of the individual highway prof.
ects have been modified. High

Inaugural Passes to Be Issued
For District Building Admission

ing today the Commissioners
also received a protest in con-
nection with the inaugural. The
District chapter of the Property
Owners of America voiced it's
objection to the use of Pullman
cars on railroad sidings to serve
as temporary housing for visitors.
The property owners complained
that at the time of the last in

houses and similar accommoda-
tions were left holding the bag"
with 10000 vacancies. partly due
to the fact that their potential
trade used the railroad facilities.
