§ MR. BUTCHER (York)I beg to ask the Postmaster General what qualifications or services are necessary before an auxiliary letter carrier is raised to the position of a postman, entitled to pension and allowances; and whether some auxiliary letter carriers receive certain special allowances, while others do not; and, if so, what is the reason for such a difference?
§ MR. A. MORLEYAll auxiliary postmen who conduct themselves well, and fulfil the conditions prescribed by the Civil Service Commissioners, are appointed established postmen as opportunity offers. In the few cases in which an auxiliary postman receives a special allowance, it is for some special duty which he performs in addition to his regular duty as auxiliary.
