MULL|KEN TAKES
CITY PAY-ROLLS TO

Civil Service Commissioner
Wants to Avoid Delay in
Paying Salaries.

Colonel Mulliken, of the State Civil
ditor George Forman in his office to-
day III connection with missing pay
rolls of the water, street and sewer
departments Of the Board of Works
and the Shade Tree Commission.
Clerks were at work on the pay-rolls
until late last night, for there are 1000
men who are paid by the week, and
Colonel Mulliken was anxious that the
men should be paid without delay.
Therefore as soon as the pay-rolls
are received he will take them to Tren-
ton this afternoon, SO they can be
checked off by the State Civil Service
Commission and returned to Newark
next Thursday. All the men will be
paid tomorrow for last week.
Senator Colby has promised to bring
the approved pay-rolls from Trenton
himself. If the %pay-rolls are not sent
to Newark by Thursday the men would
lave to wait two weeks for their money.
After next week it is expected that the
new system will work smoothly.
City Auditor Forman made the point
today that the Board of Fairgrounds
Commissioners made a mistake in ap-
pointing William J. McKiernan, a COM
missioner, supervising custodian at a
salary of $125 a month, as the law says
the commissioners shall serve without
salary or other compensation" Besides,
