SEEK TO ERECT NEW PRINT PAPER
 PLANT IN BRAZIL
MT. I. KnOWI1S

Rio De Janeiro, July 26-Repre- sentatives of a, Swedish company have made proposals to the Brazilian gov ernment looking to the establishment of a print paper manufacturing plant in the state of Parana. Among other advantages asked of the government is that of free entry of necessary ma chinery.
 According to the company's repre- sentatives there is an abundance of necessary material for print paper manufacture in Parana and other states.
 | Local publishers, who have for some months been occupied with 1 problems growing out of the scarcity and high price of imported print pa ] per are unanimously in favor of the manufa curing project. In the mean | time they are meeting frequently to | discuss measures of economy at
 which reduction in the size of news 1 papers and increased advertising rates
 and subscription prices were under | consideration.

TO CLASSIFY CIVIL
 SERVICE POSITIONS

Hartford July 26.-It is likely that
 the state civil service commission will
 ask the next General Assembly for an appropriation of $1,500 or S2,000 to be
 used for the acquisition of an expert
 to classify the positions controlled. by the commission. This developed re- gently at the annual meeting of the commission, at which Miss Alice R. Taylor, secretary, gave a report Of the national convention of civil ser vice commissi ons at Colorado Springs, June e1 to 24 The necessity of the classification of positions was brought out at the convention, said Miss Fay Tor, who added she was convinced that before Connecticut goes much further with it's civil service work such class!- fication must be undertaken. Mem bers of the commission agreed. Moth l ing can be done, however, until an l appropriation to pay an expert is se- 1 cured.
