P A T R O L M A N
The present list for Patrolman should be exhausted by January 1.
1942. Therefore, the examination should be held early in the Fall of 1941.
Since the Patrolman and Fireman examinations are som ew hat similar,
we suggest that you take advantage of the combination course and pre­
pare for both tests (if you are at least 5 ft. 8 in. in h eig h t), at a reduced
combination fee.
. According to the press a large num ber of m e n have enL f r a n e e s . Usted, which will reduce the num ber to be conscripted
for military training. Therefore, any person who is registered for m ili­
tary training may enroll w ith the understanding that i f he has paid the
full fee and is then drafted before the examination is held, half of the
fee paid will be returned to him and he m ay continue the course through
correspondence at the place of military training.
The purpose of this offer t* to encourage men to begin preparation
at once, even though- they may be in doubt as to their conscription status.

Speed in a Test

fe w of the c an d id ates w e re able to

given for the exam ination , the
Com m ission will g e nerally take
t h a t situation into consideration,

a t the end of the e x am inatio n
p a p e r, or giving additional c red it
to those who finished th e test, d e ­
p e n d in g on the conditions re vea le d
b y the exam ination. In some tests
speed may be of little c o n sid era ­
tion. In o thers it m ay h ave been
a n essential e le m en t of the test.
Result of the Arrest
H M.—The fact th a t one has been
a r r e s te d is in itself n o t view ed by
t h e Civil Service Commission as a
basis for disqualification or r e je c ­
tio n in ex am in atio n or a p p o in t­
m en t. It is the re su lt of the a r ­
r e s t th a t is view ed as the criterion.
T h e C ommission will n o t g en era lly

th e ind iv id u a l in such case. The
fa ilu re to disclose an a r r e s t m ay

Civil S e rvice Commission and th e

no serious d isciplinary action will
