Upon recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture and in view of his statement that an eligible from the editorial and proof-reading register would not be fitted to discharge the duties of an expert indexer and of the difficulty the department has had in finding a competent man, Mr. Edward S. Hoskins may be appointed as indexer in the Department of Agriculture without regard to the civil-service rules and regulations.
