The L e a d e r , iri a series of re ­
cent editorials, advocated the or­
ganization of a Central Transfer
Agency as a more effective way of
dealing with transfers than the
exchange method.
The Agency
would have the official sanction
of the M ay or and the full co­
operation of department heads.
I t would not limit transfers to
people who lived long distances
from their offices but would also
include those who work odd hours
or who have other legitimate reas­
ons for transferring.
I t would
work on the same principle as
put forioard b.v the Commission
— that of sending names of per­
sons who want transfers to de­
partments which have vacancies.

Still W orking On General
In v e stig a to r Exam
U. s. Civil Service Commission is still struggling away on
the General Ijivestigator Test.
So f a r three registers have
been established but the eligible ratings haven’t been sent out
and won’t be until the other registers are established. T h a t will
not be for several weeks yet.
Eligible registers have been established for Im m igra tion
Patrol Inspector. Associate Investigator {accounting), and As^
sistant Investigator (accounting).
Ineligible ratings are being sent out and i f you haven’t heard
from the Commission the chances are f a ir that you passed the
test.

I do not intend to print th a t report here.
T h e City Record, from its very nature, reaches a nadir of
literary interest— and this report is hardly one of its sp righ tlier passages.
