Mr.. Hol son said that he had re-
ceived no direct communication from
the department but thought the law
would be effective July first.
For some time the clerks and car
rers force at the local office has
been disorganizod, the pay allowed
by the department was in no way
equal to what a competent man could
get at other work, and for that reas-
on some of them were constantly

at increased wages.
Mr.. Hopson stated that the bill pro
vided that the entrance salaries of
clerks and carriers shall be sl.4O0
per year with an annual increase of
500, until $1,000 is reached.
He further said that he was con-
vinced that the law would also pro-
