TABLE 3.-Showing the apportionment of appointments in the departmental service at Washington, D. C., from July 16, 1883, to June 30, 1911.

[The States and Territories are named in relative order according to the number of appointments they have received in proportion to population under the census of 1910.]

OUTSIDE WASHINGTON,

1 It is not possible in all cases to make absolute distinction between employees serving in Washington, D. C., and elsewhere.
2 In the Bureau of the Census the 38 excepted appointments were of machinists, toolmakers, electricians, and apprentice boys appointed without examination under the Execu-
tive order of December 29, 1909. Most of the unclassified appointments and separations were of persons employed under the Thirteenth Census a ct outside of the provisions of
the Civil Service act and rules.

3 Includes all bureau employees of field services, although actually located in Washington, D. C.

4 Changes in the unclassified service are not reported.

5 In addition to temporary appointments in the Quartermaster's Department listed in the table there were 813 temporary appointments excepted from examination and 611
separations of such employees.

6 In the Engineer Department at Large several thousand appointments are made for very brief periods, usually for less than 30 days, to registration positions, in the absence
of eligibles, the registers being made up on the 1st of each month. In most cases the persons appointed had filed papers and had been declared eligible, but were employed tempo-
rarily in preference to the establishment of an eligible register in the middle of the month. These employees are either separated or regularly appointed, so that the omission of
statistics relating to their temporary appointment is immaterial. Changes in the unclassified service are not reported.

7 The 10,140 unclassified employees are laborers and mechanics employed under regulations contained in Navy Yard Order No. 23, Revised. They are unclassified, according
to an opinion of the Attorney General, July 6, 1909. The exact number of separations of this class of employees is not known; but as the entire force is estimated at 25,000 from
year to year, the same number of separations is given as of appointments.
