CIVIL SERIVICE CLASSIFICATION
A HUGE TASK.
(Per United Press Association.) * WELLINGTON, February 12.
The general public has very little idea of the immense task set before the Civil Service Classification Board when Parliament appointed it to set down in a list in .proper order of procedure every person in the civil service from departmental heads down to messengers. It was quite impossible to complete the work in time for last session, and Parliament consequently extended the period until March 31, The Civil Service Board deputed to three of its most experienced members —Colonel Collins (Secretary to the Treasury), Mr H. J. H. Blow (Under-secre-tary for Public Works), and Mr G. Hogben (Inspector-general of Schools)—the preliminary work in connection with the arrangement of th.e list. This is now almost complete. The really big difficulties of classification have been disposed of. and Parliament will be able to adopt the list soon after the session opens. Included in the scheme is every civil servant of five years who is not already in a classified department. The nuraber'will probabj* be,. to exceed 6000.
