Harvey Brown, who has been on a months leave of- absence on Lowell Edington, manager of the Napa County Fair, stated this week that he will submit information outlining the type of paid employees at the fair, in line with a State Personnel Board ruling that all such employees must be hired under civil service regulations in the future.

From information submitted by district fair heads, the state will arrange civil sendee tests or other means of determining applicants qualifications for the positions Corresponding jobs with different fairs would carry the same salary no matter which fair was the employer. Exceptions to the rule Would be jobs such as that of carpenter, which receive w'ages prevailing in the particular county concerned. Preliminary work in bringing the 42 active district fairs under the civil service will be completed shortly after the first of the year. The move follows several legal decisions wherein fairs were determined as state agencies as they received state funds. The annual fair at Calistoga will not be affected by the regulations, inasmuch as it does not receive state money, but receives its support directly from grants by the county.

The ruling will not apply to voluntary workers at the district fairs.
