Opinion:
There is substance to the claim that bookkeepers, messengers, telephone operators and automobile enginemen should not have been included among those eligible to take the examination. This objection, however, is of no practical significance as none of them passed the examination and their rights are not involved in this proceeding. Order unanimously affirmed, with twenty dollars costs and disbursements. Present — Martin, P. J., O'Malley, Townley, Dore and Cohn, JJ.
