§ MR. JOHN KELLY (Camberwell, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that during the last three years no open competitive examinations for the Lower Division of the Civil Service have been held, and that on this account all Civil Service writers under 25 years of age have during such period been debarred from entering such Division by examination, arrangements will be made for the admission of such of the writers into the Second Division as may have been so debarred?
§ MR. JACKSONThe Official Regulations limit the age up to which copyists can compete for Second Division Clerkships to 25, or 5 years beyond the age fixed for ordinary competition, and the Treasury do not consider that they can extend the limit.
