been necessary in the personnel of the
departments, Superintendent Campbell
stated yesterday that it had been i'm
perative, to reduce salaries in some in.
stances of those remaining, but they
would have to accept the situation and
not only be content with smaller sala.
ries, but do more work than they had
been accustomed to do under the old

partment employees will simply have to
work longer for the, work has to be
done and uEdeI thsaaPpropriation made

Superintendent Campbell intimated,
however, that there would be a

The decision to place Mr.. Kluegel in

the large amount of work by himself
would seem to indicate that Superin,
tendent Campbell considers the finan-
cial problem before the consolidated de-
partments to be something acute, and
that he will set an example to. the sub,
ordinates in making the best of things
1t is stated that Surveyor Wall re-
ceive the same salary under the new
system ms he has been receiving as Sur.
vey0r General of the Territory and
that the other reductions in salaries
which have been made are not very
material.
Superintendent Campbell stated yes.
