CITY PAY RATES PROPOSED.
New scale Recommended by Bu-
reRu of standards.

Critics OF the Mitchell administration
recently complained that the city had
spent about 100000 in planning for the
standardizing of city Jobs and grading
OF employees without producing re-
suits. The Bureau OF Municipal Re-
search was vexed because the results OF
the study which It helped to make had
not even been printed, so that they could
be discussed.
There have been hints that the alleged
procrastination In this matter is to be
looked into by the legislative committee
that Is to investigate the city govern
mcnt.
The agitation resulted yesterday in
the publication of the Standardization
programme by the Bureau OF Standards,
whose director Is George l.. Tirrell. In
n foreword Comptroller Prendergast
and President McAneny of the Aldermen
are careful to say that the specifications
have not been approved by the Board
Of Estimate or any Of its committees.

lar kin of work performed second.
conditions peculiar TO certain employ

pcrience Of the Municipal Civil Service
Commission with the existing rates /;
fourth. the assumption that New York
city wishes. ~ far as 1t is financially
able. TO be a model employer" NTH. the
theory that u range OF salary rather than
a fixed rate should be established for n
majority of positions In the city service.
The report says;
In thos" cmployments in which pri-
vate corporations are paying inadequate
salaries or taking advantage Of unem-
ployment and other market conditions,
the Bureau of Standards has recon-
mended salaries somewhat higher han
private corporations pay. Tho theory
upon which these recommendations are
made Is that ultimate economies will be
achieved by obtaining and retaining the
services of "a better class OF employees
than can be had at the market rates"
