Jacobson said he was busy arranging

Before he could move one Of the bandits

The saving OF 100000 a year for the

mittee on Standardization OF salaries and
grades Of the Board of Estimate hopes to

OF the $1,000 employees Of the city other
than policemen. fremen and school teach
ers whose grades and salaries are fixed
by special STATUTES.
In addition 10 the work on these rec
ords the committee last week sent exam
iners into each department to watch the
work OF the men and obtain direct infor-
nation from them. The object Of the
committee. which is composed OF con-
troller P,endergast and Borough Presi-
dent McAneny. is to have the city pay
uniform salaries for the same grades OF
service in the various departments II Is
believed that the work will so 50 far to
promote efficiency that il will not be
necessary TO add any more men for the
growing work Of the departments for the
next two or three years. This is where
the $500. 900 saving will be made.
When the work Of the committee has
been accomplished it hopes TO have estab-
lshed in each department an efficiency
and Standardization bureau, which shall
take care of all further increase in the
work OF the departments. There is no
