Postoffice Positions

There is only one person eJigible to appointment to a position in the Ann Arbor postoffice, all the others having been dropped froin the oivil service list by reason of the lapse of one year from the time they took the examination. There is no one left for appointment as substitute mail carrier, should one be noeded ever so badly, and noue on the mail clerk's list. Those who desire to take the civil service examination for these positions must file their applications before Monday iiight next. It is reported at the po&tofflce that the prospects are very slim for many people trying the examination. This seems to indicate the public belief in the permanenoy of the tentire of office of those wbo havealready seoured positions, but when it is considered that sickness, desire for change of business or neglect of duty, may at any time créate vacancy, it is somewhat strange that more persons do not try to pass an examiuation which might give them a permanent and pleasant posifcion. Those wishing any information regarding the examinations should apply at once to Ed. I. Taylor, at the postoffice.
