SUBJECT OF CONFERENCE.
Effect Of the Controllers Opinion Al
fscting Salary Payments.

~
The opinion OF the controller OF the treas
the salaries Of government employees was
the subject of much comment at the Dis
trict building today and there was rush
on the part Of the officials to secure copies
of The Star In which the text Of the order
was exclusively published.
Bureau chiefs and heads Of departments
were asking each other how 1t will be pos
sible for their clerks to be paid on the
usual day at or near the end Of the month.
Disbursing Officer Rogers was overwhelmed,
because he saw at once that the carrying
out of the letter Of the law would mean
that all the pay Of clerks and laborers In
the District service will be held up for fully
ten days.
Nearly all of this morning Commissioner
Office Disbursing Onlcer Rogers, Auditor
Garrison and Deputy Auditor Tweedale and
other heads OF departments familiar with
the workings Of the financial scheme OF the
District, and, after adjOurning for another
conference later this afternoon. much
thought was devoted to devisiug plan
which will meet the demands of the con-
troller and yet not compel a complete re-
vision of the existing order OF things.
Under the present plan. which. 1t Is de-
clared. has long been found adequate. and,
In fact, the only one which would at all
meet with the requirements, 1t has been the
custom to have all pay rolls certified on or
about the Doth Of the month. The full ten
days before the end Of the. month are
needed by the disburslng officer to prepare
for pay day. and In that time Mr.. Rogers
and his two clerks labor without ceasing tn
be ready to settle the accounts Of the 1000
District employees. If 1t should be found
to be impossible to anticipate the service
of any of these clerks, laborers or other
public servants, the authorities declare that
District pay day, which now falls on or
about the first Of each month, would be
deferred until after the 10th.
Hundreds of employees are anxiously
awaiting the outcome of the conference in
Commissioner Vests Office this afternoon.

RIVER VERY LOW.
Every Wheel and Spindle Motionless
Friday and Saturday.

Not wheel or spindle which runs
by means of Kennebec water power
was in motion, Friday or Saturday.
Never before, in the recollections of
many of our Oldest citizens has so
much of the channel of the river been
exposed to view. below the Lockwood
dam, as was seen last week.
The cause Of this apparent scarcity
of water was explained by one of the
mill foremen as due to the fact that
the Shawmut Manufacturing Co. of
Shawmut, had found it necessary to
hold back the flow in order to make
repairs on their dam. Although the
precipitation of the last few months
has not been plentiful. there are said
to be over two feet of available water
III the natural reservoir Of the Moose
lead.
The rainfall, although seemingly
better than the average, has not
reached far enough north in this State
and the result has been that the
greater part has run to the sea as
surface water without affecting. in
the least. the water supply of the
manufacturers.
