I entered fully upon the duties of this office, by appointment of the Commission, April 7, 1886, having acted as Chief Examiner for twenty days previous thereto. At this time I learned that open competitive examinations had been ordered by the Commission, to obtain eligible lists from which appointments might be made of assistant engineers, levelers and rodmen in the departments of the State Engineer and the Superintendent of Public Works, interpreters of courts and janitors in New York city and guards at the Elmira State Reformatory. These examinations were held on the twentieth of May. COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. For Engineering Positions. The papers were prepared, the examination conducted and the markings certified by the board of examiners designated by the Commission for that purpose, consisting of John Bogart, Esq., the Deputy State Engineer; Prof. Cady Staley, of Schenectady, and Prof. David M.
