Supplemental Sheet. Not 



Special subject, Question 5. The following was read 

 to candidates twice. They were then directed to answer 

 the questions furnished on separate sheet. Questions 

 were not disclosed to candidates until reading was fin- 

 ished. "On Saturday, May 17, 1924, at about 10 P.M., 

 a Buick touring car and a Ford sedan collided on the 

 driveway in Lake Park, near the northwestern corner 

 entrance to the park. This is near the corner of Lake 

 Drive and Kenwood Boulevard. The Buick was upset 

 and damaged to the extent of $400. Two men were in 

 it. One escaped injury. The other had his left arm 

 broken. The driver of the Ford was arrested and was 

 found guilty of causing the accident and was fined $100. 

 It was testified by several witnesses that he was going 

 more than thirty miles an hour." 



Educational. Verbal orders test. The following 



Shown to Candidates 



was read twice, the candidates being required to repro- 

 duce the substance of it: "The Boy Scouts have been 

 given permission to put up six tents in Washington 

 Park and camp overnight, near Highland Boulevard 

 entrance. You go there and make sure they are not 

 doing any damage and see that there are not any other 

 boys staying with them. Make sure that they are not 

 putting up any more tents than six, and tell them that 

 they must not dig any holes in the ground or break 

 any branches of trees. After that, go over to the lake 

 and see if the benches by the boathouse are in good 

 condition. It has been reported that one or two of 

 them have been found broken and need repairs. Keep 

 on the lookout for a big Newfoundland dog without 

 any collar or license tag. It has been reported that he 

 has been seen wandering around the park."
