New Draft System Is Saving.

The state Of Wisconsin saved about
$50 in real money. The new draft sys-
tenn of paying off the capitol employ
ees was put into effect and the entire
force of approximately 600 were taken
care of in five minutes. The drafts
for each department are now sent to
each department head and the checks
distributed. In the past pay day has
meant long line in front of the win
dow at the state treasurers office all
day long.
According to State Treasurer John
son, it has taken at least 10 minutes
for each employee to get his envelope.
This meant total of 5000 minutes,
or more than two weeks lost on the
first of each month. The average sal
airy in the capitol is approximately
500 a month and so the two weeks
meant loss of about $50 on the time
of capitol employees alone.
