One of these preferences, it is explained, is 5 points added to the earned ra s of veterans, ex- cept that, in the cases of those dis- abled, 10 points are added. 38,777 appointments ar), 9,947, or 25.65 per ecent, were of preference eligibles, whereas only 19.59 per cent of all the appli- cants were in the preferred class. The number of preference eligibles appointed is 20.67 per cent of all preference applicants, whereas the number of non-preference appointees is only 14.6 per cent of the whole number of non-preference appli- cants.” The commission finds cause for gratification in the fact that during the year there were 345 instances of promotion to postmasterships which are filled through nomination by the President and confirmation by the Senate. In its discussion of postmas ter appointments the commission s Postal Employes Listed. “On June 30, 1927, there were 308,740 postal employes, of whom 54,525 were in the classified service. There are 15,651 presidential postmas- ters outside the classified service. Most of the Presidents and many Postmasters General for the past two decades have recommended legisla- tion that these presidential positions be classified, given a tenure of good behavior instead of being subject to a term of four years and opened as a career. for subordinate employes. There can be no doubt that the elimi- nation of politics from the appoint- ment of postmasters would promote the efclency of the service. * % * “Under an executive order the com- mission holds open competitive exami nations for these positions, and the Postmaster General selects one of the highest three for appointment, but the nalutary restriction of the civil serv- jee act and rules are not imposed in election and tenure, and they are not given the benefit of annuity re- tirement unless promoted from the classified service. * * *” Comment on “Sale of Offices.” Recent laws, in the opinion of the oommission, will tend to remedy a sit- uation which has long been a source is._the sale of._public Established 32 Years, JUOTTTTITIS LTI STII L TT ST I E O] SE L T T S L S L L S Dress and Street Shoes E'D like to continue this Sale longer—it’s been so very . popular.
