How long has he or she resided therein? In this connection I respectfully ask attention to a recommendation made by me in a communication addressed to the Department on Nosem-ber 2 last, in regard to certain special agents engaged in the investiga-tion of Indian depredation claims. In thatcommunication I said : I would submit that the efficiency of the service in the field would be greatly en-hanoed if each employ6 for such serrios, before entering upon'duty, could have the benefit of at lssat s, limited term of servioe in the office. But as the office force is wi thin the provi~ionso f t h e oivil.service law, s o d t h e special agents &re outside suoh provisions, they are ineligible to office work. For the good of the service, therefore, I would sogpilt t h a t the dassifioation of this Department be so extended ss to include a11 employ6s now engaged, and such ns may hereafter be employed, in she work of investigating Indian depredation olaims in the field under the aot of Waroh 3, 1885. |
