Amendment of Commonwealth Public Service Regulations.

Regulation 200 of the Public Service Regulations is repealed and the following regulation is inserted in its stead:—

200. (1.) The subjects of examination for candidates for appointment as telegraph messenger, telephonist, or any other office or position where, in the opinion of the Commissioner, a special examination is not necessary, shall be those specified in regulation 197, and all candidates to whom the examiners award one-half of the maximum number of marks therein in each subject set forth shall be declared qualified for appointment: Provided that candidates for the position of telegraph messenger shall be held to be qualified for appointment if they obtain half the maximum number of marks in spelling and in handwriting, but their order of merit shall be determined by the number of marks obtained for those subjects and arithmetic.

(2) A person appointed as telegraph messenger shall not be eligible for transfer or promotion in the General Division unless he has obtained half marks in arithmetic at an examination for appointment as telegraph messenger, as messenger in training, or as junior mechanic in training, or at an examination to be held half-yearly, to enable telegraph messengers to qualify for promotion in the General Division, or has passed such examination conducted by a public examining body as the Commissioner may determine.

(3) A telegraph messenger appointed without examination shall not be eligible for transfer or promotion in the General Division unless he passes an examination in the subjects prescribed in regulation 197, i.e., obtains half the maximum marks allotted to each subject.
