EXTRA CLERKS.
TO THE EDITOE. Sih — Two letters have appeared in your paper on the above question. I am glad this subject has been opened, as it will give an opportunity for the following return to be compiled :— l. "What positions these gentlemen occupied in banks, commercial houses, and as permanent officers of the Civil Service, before they became temporary clerks ? 2. The reasons why they came to relinquish their appointments and accepted temporary employment under the Government. 3. How many of them are now drawing more salary than permanent officers who have served years in the service and whose records are spotless ? 4. Why the temporary clerk should be exempt from the operation of the C.S. Officers' Guarantee Act ? Such a return, I venture to think, would make Ministers rather astonished, and give the public a better idea of this question than they have at present. The short-sighted permanent head of some departments prefer the extra clerk because he is a — well, very civil— with his " Yes, yes, sir ; " " Carry your papers, sir?" "Open the door for you, sir ? "—individual. I am, &c, 6th September, 1896. 1866.
