who are between 18% 28 years of age.
It is also provided that Junior Clerks in cases of Exceptional merit be promoted to Higher Clerkships without Examination, and that J. State may appoint to such from this country.
At present most of the Senior Clerkships have been filled by promoting from the Juniors - this excluding English Europeans for the most part.
The object of change seems chiefly to be to get Europeans into some higher posts. But we are not told that the present system gives unfit men for such higher posts.
However, if the Governor (now on his way back) approves proposals, I think they might be approved as an experiment: Subject, however, to the following modifications.
Rule 7 should (to harmonize with Col. Regi 69) read as follows: Appointments to Class B shall generally be made in the Colony, subject to the confirmation of the Secretary of State, after a local competitive Examination for which candidates must be nominated by the Governor. For appointments in Class B, when the Governor desires to recommend a local candidate, his selection will be made either (a) by a higher competitive Examination, for which candidates must be nominated by the Governor and for which holders of Clerkships in Class III shall be allowed to compete, or (b) by the promotion of a specially competent clerk from Class B to Class A without examination, though not quite exceptionally.
[Under Col. Reg. 69 the Secretary of State always overrules the Governor's recommendation where the salary is over $1200, and it is unnecessary to lay down in these local rules anything as to the mode of selection.]
In Rule 3, omit the first paragraph as to the limit of age for persons appointed from England; in regard to when the Secretary of State need not be limited. Why for Class B should the upper limit of age be put at 20 instead of 25 as at present?
