WHERE THE MONEY GOES
THAT is PAID OUT BY THE
GOVERNMENT
Heads of Bureaus and Clerks with Fat
Salaries, and Copyists at $25
per Month.

money paid monthly to Govern
ment officials may be gathered
by a perusal of the following article.
Although the facts and figures from
which it has been made up were pre-
pared some weeks since there has been
so little change either in the number
Of employees or the amount OF salary
paid them that the total result would
scarcely be affected if the computation
had been made to day. The Pro
visional G. vernment has two modes OF
paying its employees monthly and
weekly The first comprises within Its
list heads of departments and bureaus,
chief clerks with fat salaries, and minor
ones with decidedly limited ones, and
whose employment justlies the pay
ment Of regular salary. The second
is composed almost entirely of laborers
whose services are required only for
particular works and for stated periods,
and whose necessities require weekly
payments. The following represents
the labor of many days, but it will not
only be interesting but valuable for
future reference should the expense OF
any department or bureau be wished,
or even the salary OF any particular
clerk. As the monthly salaries are by
far the largest, they come first
