Mrs. Margaret Kane may be appointed as an operative in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing without regard to the requirements of the civil service rules.
This order is recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury, who states that Mrs. Kane is the widow of George F. Kane, a former plate printer who died on November 1, 1930, after serving for more than twenty-four years in the bureau, and that Mrs. Kane has been left with seven children, five of whom are dependent upon her, and that she is without adequate means of support.
