Sanitation List
Due by Year’s End
The Sanitation M a n list will be established by December 1
o r January 1, it was estimated this week by Wallace S. Sayre.
Civil Service Commissioner.
The l,500-na77ie list will take at least six weeks to compute
after all physical and medical examinations have been completed
in September.
The Commission hopes to have all the physical exams f i n ­
ished this month, but the medicals (.and medical re-exams) will
lap over into September.
Appointments will be made to the Department of Sanitation
soon after promulgation of the list.
I n an exclusive statement. Commissioner Sayre has informed
T he L eader th at the Sanitation list will b9 used for 1,000 jobs in
other departments. These jobs, of course, will be in addition to
the 2,500 expected openings during the life of the list in the Sani­
tation Department. One list which expires soon after the San i­
tation list is ready will be th a t of Auto Truck Driver, good only u n ­
til January 20, 1941. M en w ho.mak e the Sanitation list probably
will be declared appropriate for the job of Auto Trucks Driver,
which p a y s $1,200 io $1,620 per year, or
per day. The titles of
other jobs fo r which the Sanitation list will be used are to appear
in T i^ 'i L eader shortly.

To Get F ingerprint Jobs
Three hundred women typists and nearly 100 substitute clerkcarriers will be appointed soon to jobs with the New York Post
Office to aid in the GoverninenVs program to fingerprint aliens.
T he typist jobs, which will be filled from the New York dis^
tri ct register ra th e r th a n fro m the nationwide list, will be *‘i n term itt ent" — th a t is, the work will not be steady. The reason f o r
this is obvious. New Y o rk has 600,000 alie 7is. The Government
does not know how or when they will register. The deadline is D e cember 27 of this year. There will be heavy periods and light
periods of registration. T h a t means a typist might work six
hours one dajj and none another day.
Pay fo r typists will be 65 cents per hour.
The appointments fro m the Clerk-Carr ie r list will be mostly
from the New York list, since the registration of aliens will be
mainly in M a n h a tta n . T he new appointees will not do the actual
fingerprinting themselves but will take the place of others in the
Post Office department who will be temporarily assigned to the
fingerprinting duties.
