Civil Service Commission Opinions on Deputies' Tenure
Washington October 16 The civil service commission and the attorney general today voiced views on a key issue raised by Brady Richmonds collector of internal revenue. Deputies serving under a predecessor do not lose status when the appointing collector leaves. They are government employees in the classified service and can only be dismissed by the government head. The old farming out system is repealed. Collectors may designate deputies for appointment by the department but they become federal employees upon approval and tenure cannot depend on the collector. This protects the civil service goals.
