Competitors Required to State Clearly Whether They
Desire Eligibility for Clerk or Carrier.

There are in the United States, thirteen United States Civil Service Districts, and in each, examinations for letter carrier and clerk are held yearly. THE CHIEF has obtained from the United States Civil Service Commission the regulations governing the examinations in each district, the post offices for which examinations may be taken, the rules relative to the registers for clerk or carrier in each district, the approximate dates when examinations are held and whether or not more than one examination may be taken in the same Civil Service district. Intending competitors should read carefully the section covering their particular district, so as to know whether their names can be placed on the carrier and clerk register, or only on one. There is some difference in the regulations covering this part of the requirements, but the rules for the examination proper, as given in the preceding pages, are uniform all over the country.

Male eligibles will be entitled to three certifications from the male clerk register and three certifications from the carrier register. Failure of selection from one register or declination of appointment when selected will not affect the eligible’s standing on the other register.
