PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE REGULATION No. 256.

Public Service Regulation No. 256 at present reads as follows :—

" In the event of a vacancy in the office of Divisional Representative arising from any cause whatever, or where no nomination for the position of Representative has been made, the Commissioner may appoint any officer in the same division, who shall act as Representative until the expiration of the period for which other Divisional Representatives are elected. For the period antecedent to the first election of Divisional Representatives, the Commissioner may nominate any officer of the division to which an appellant or accused officer belongs to act upon any Board of Appeal or Inquiry dealing with his case."

It is recommended that the above Regulation be repealed, and that the following Regulation be substituted therefor :—

" In the event of a vacancy in the office of Divisional Representative arising from any cause whatever, or where no nomination for the position of Representative has been made, the Commissioner may appoint any officer in the same division, who shall act as Representative until the expiration of the period for which other Divisional Representatives are elected : Provided that in the absence of a Divisional Representative arising from any cause whatever the Commissioner may appoint temporarily an officer from the same division to act in his stead."
