was raised from $4,000 to $4,000; In
corporation Clerk Samuel T. Walker,
whose salary was increased from
$1,000 to $1,000; Deputy Insurance
Commissioner Waite, whose salary
was increased from $1,000 to $780,
In addition to these increases there
was an important reorganization in
the Office of the attorney general

The salary of the first assistant attor-
lney general, which hitherto has been
$4,000, is increased to $4,000, and the

drew salary of $500, is given under
this reorganization $4,000.
