PLANNED UNDER
new CODE BILL
Expert From Chicago Will
Organize New Departments

like Basis.
By Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln. Aug. al. L. Jacobs,
efficiency expert ofthe firm of J.
L. Jacobs & Co. of Chicago, is here
helping the new departments under
: the code law get started in an eff
Gent manner. Mr.. Jacobs is ex-
perienced in this line of work and
is familiar with the system used in
Illinois, where he says it has been
estimated that the new code there
would save the state $4,000 for
the present bienium.
Mr.. Jacobs said that under the
efficiency system which would be
put in effect in this state under the
code responsibility would be placed
on the department heads and that
there would be a reduction in EN-
ployes because Of the doing away
with Implications in the keeping of
records. "

Governor Mckelvie is very
anxious that the code should be
applied in businesslike way" said
Mr.. Jacobs, land l am endeavoring
to get line on the different depart
ments, in fact, have been working
around them since Monday getting
facts and figures with the idea of
giving the state the very best and
effective accounting and purcha sing
system together with the most eff
fective manner of carrying on the
states business.
All finances will be under the De-
part ent of Finance, of which Mr..
Bross, former private secretary, is
the head All kinds of work will
be put under the same head and
salaries scaled to meet these heads.
For instance, there may be three
grades of stenographers, based upon
the work they do and their efflcir
ency in the work. Each depart
ment head will be responsible for
the work of its employees and weekly
reports will be made to the secre-
tary of finance. Each department will
keep its own books relative to ap-
preparations and expenses, b1t all
accounting will be under the De-
partment of Finance. The auditor
and secretary Of state will not be
interferred with in the matter of the
drawing of warrans for that is
part of their constitutional duties
The making \out of vouchers for
each employe and the swearing to
the same individually is another
thing that will make way for the pay
roll method. Each department will
keep pay roll and record OF the
work done. The head of the depart
ment will then make a sworn record
to the auditor, who will draw the
warrants. Examiners in the employ
of the state and those out on state
business will be given mileage books
