They took away about a year ago soms very com petent help out of the treasurer's of fice, and notwithstanding th fact that these employes had wltbatood tha neces sary y examination that did not touch upon the necessary qualifications or ths duties of clerks In the treasurer's of fice. , ' Such ' questions have been pro pounded as "Require the time that It would take a locomotive to travel a given distance, the driving wheels being so many feet and inches In diameter and making - so many- revolutlona a minute," and all through the examine tlona such frivolous and 'unnecessary qusstlona . In reference to the conduct Cf the office, Mr. Werleln hss laid down a rul that they are th public servants rather than treat the publlo aa though they wars subservient to the office. ; Tb city fund have been handled In- aucb a manner aa to make the office self-supporting from their earnings. -The general-conduct of the office ht been modei - throughout.- "Trover haa there been aa much aa a suspicion of a -complaint from : these who have almost daily dealings with this ' department.
