President Roosevelt returns several papers relating to the position of deputy collector and inspector of customs at Stamford, Connecticut, to the Civil Service Commission. Roosevelt refers the Commission to a letter from Acting Secretary of the Treasury James Burton Reynolds, suggesting that an exception should be made for the good of the service, but also feels that the position should either be taken off of the competitive list or limited only to people living in Stamford. He asks for the Commission’s advice regarding this matter.
