Mayor ReUielUs
6 Months Progress

Continued from Page On,
tions work had commenced when the
era of vastly inflated prices for labor
and material set in. It was decided
to complete this portion of the work
and then wait the inevitable reduction
that must come in cost of material be-
fore proceeding further with the ac-
cepted plan.
Civil Service Classified
classification Of the civil service
which we have established is a great
and needed reform" the Mayor further
explained. "When 1t is completed II
will standardize the work of thousands
Of city employees and equalizc wages;
We shnll classify all departments and
all Of the county Offices that will sub
nit to classification
To understand Just what this means
IL should be known that wages for the
same class Of city employees varied in
different departments. 1t was regu-
lar pigs in clover puzzle. The new
charter provided for reclassification
and the work was undertaken by Grf
fcnhasen & Associates and is still in
progress.
Under the new system the wages
of carpenters. watchmen. stenographers,
etc. will be uniform throughout the
departments.
