inRs that the Legislature had actually
made provision for moro attendants and
nurses than were then actually en-
Ployed in the state service, so that
II has been possible under the provi-
sion made by the Legislature materi
ally TO increase such number. This
merely illustrates the misleading use
that can be made Of figures.
Nov, the fact is that the Legisla-
ture abolished last year more than 800
positions. That does not mean That
there were that number Of dismissals
from the state service, because MANY
OF the positions were vacant. 1t does
mean that the abolition Of tho position
itself prevented its being filled. The
tact is that in place of being an in
crease Of 1000 employees there has
been a decrease in the state depart
ments proper of practically that amount
and the records Of the Civil Service
Commission will show an actual de-
crease Of positions in state departments
proper Of 628, without taking any ac-
count whatever of 80 called laborers not
included by the Civil Service Commits
slon IN its table of positions"
