§ MR. BOWLESI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the expense, disappointment, and inconvenience to which intending candidates for Civil Service examinations are put by the action of the Civil Service Commissioners in suspending, without adequate notice, such examinations during the revision of regulations; and whether he will take steps to ensure in future that no such suspension of an examination shall take place until after adequate notice has been given to its prospective candidates.
