Classifying County Jobs in Massachusetts Civil Service
The Massachusetts Civil Service Association executive committee releases a yearly report praising merit system advances. It notes a deputy examiner appointment at 2500 dollars and salary increases for commissioners. The group cites efforts to extend civil service rules to Boston collecting treasury and penal positions, with some exceptions. The metropolitan affairs bill failed in the House. The association argues for county position classification, mirroring state city and town services, amid legislative failure.
