BIC BOOST IN
n. ]. PAYROLL
Civil Service Commission
Show Need of Better Meth
DDS in Public Administration

TRENTON. Nov. 23.-The COM
bined budget for current administra-
ton expenses for the state and the
counties and municipalities under
civil service amounts to SCI, 500, 900,
according TO the annual report SUBJ
mitted to Governor Edwards today.
The commission calls particular at
tention to the great increase in pay
roll expenditures and the necessity
for better business in public admin
istration. This the Civil Service
Commission claims, was largely
brought about by war conditions.
The commission adds that there
must be a way found TO keep. not
orsy the present number of employees
IN, also the ~payrolls within proper
bounds. as there is a consistent in
crease in the number of employees.
There has been an increase of 2100
employees in the state service. ac-
cording to the report. since 1917 and
during that time the payroll has
been doubled.
within the near future" the re-
port continues, ut is obvious hat
there must be a REIMBURSEMENT of adj
ministration costs in all public busi-
ness. In any adjustment that may
be undertaken it is likely that de-
termined efforts will be made to re-
duce the greatest item of expendi-
ture. that is the payroll. The prob
lem Is a serious one but it cannot be
solved by any arbitrary action which
may impair the effectiveness of the
service or work an injustice on COM
petent and faithful employees. The
solution, so far as there is a solu-
tion. lies not in arbitrary action, but
IN a reorganization of departmental
forces making possible greater eff
cheney and greater individual pro-
~ductiveness, and the actual adoption
of business principles in the conduct
of public affairs.
lowing to the liberal advances
granted in the past few years. pub
lie employees in New Jersey, both
municipal and state. are now well
yaid. There can be no reasonable
objection to this since public york
does require despite a more or less
general prevailing opinion to the
contrary, a well qualified and cap
able working personnel. The i'm
mediate problem before those re-
sponsible for public administration is
net one of recruiting and retaining
capable employees. since the compen-
is adequate. 1t Is rather how
to maintain an effective administra-
ton without the necessity of further
increasing e.the. the number Of m
ployes or the payroll expenditures"
The commission further assures
the governor that the work of the
Civil Service Commission will be
and controlled in the or
fect Manner

AFTER AIDING DRIVE

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 23:-After
working hard to collect for the Red
Cross Roll Call n Of the students
OF the high school yesterday after
noon lost the money while walking
along Main street. Although the

sympathy was forthcoming for the
