THE CIVIL SERVICE.
EFFICIENCY THE PASSPORT} TO PROMOTION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dtinedin, Last Night. Strong dissatisfaction is felt locally in regard to the Civil Service classification. One gentleman stated that many clerks have been astonished to find ten or twelve subordinate officers with considerably less service placed ahead of them in the provisional list. He added that in about 1906, when the classification scheme was first discussed in Parliament, it was understood that efficiency was to be the passport to promotion, and as a result many civil servants set to work to qualify as accountants or solicitors. Accountants had not yet received special recognition, and those who qualified as solicitors have been ignored. It is understood that a large number of appeals have been forwarded from Dunedin.
