REFoRM-AsKISa INCREASE OF SALARIES
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1890-11-19

The treasurer claims that the salaries paid
to the officers Of the treasury are inadequate
compensation for the duties performed, being
less than those paid IN well-managed private
institutions and less even than are paid in the
subtreasury in New York. In support of this
claim he sdduces a statement of the work per-
formed In the treasury and subtreasuries, winch
is placed IN comparison with similar data reiat-
ing to the Bank Of England From this il ap-
pears that the nine suotreasuries employ 236
persons. with the total pay OF 1888 070. or
an average OF Si,623. while the treasury
al Washington employs 279 persons at q total
cost OF 1855. 1872, or s1.2l2 per person. The
whole number employ ed in the whole treasury
system II 5l5, at an average cost OF s4O0 for
salaries. The Bank Of England, whose BUSH
ness Is ALMOST exactly the same as that of the
treasury, With the addition of one private de-
post and discount employs I,l6O persona, ct
an average cost OF $l,4i0 The average,
el.4o0 per person, the treasurer says, is thus
strikingly pointed out a. the lust compenss-
ton, in the judgment of the English-speaking
nations. for such service as is performed in
the treasury, and the Washington ONCE
stands alone underpaid.
