Executive Order 7237—Amendment of Schedule A, Subdivision VIII, of the Civil-Service Rules

By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph Eighth of subdivision SECOND of section 2 of the Civil Service Act of January 16, 1883 (22 Stat. 403, 404), schedule A, subdivision VIII, of the civil-service rules is hereby amended by adding thereto a new paragraph reading as follows:

"28. Fire guards or smoke chasers, fire lookout observers, telephone operators, and field assistants in type mapping, insect and tree-disease control, and other protection work or surveys, employed temporarily during the season of danger from fires or when special work requires additions to the regular force of the National Park Service outside of the District of Columbia. They shall serve only so long as absolutely necessary and, in no case, shall they serve beyond the usual field season. So far as the Commission may deem practicable, such appointments shall be made from the registers of eligibles."
