down in that district this fall that

 For the fiscal year 1923, the new rate of pay under the bill would re- duce the total of the budget for the six services by approximately $13.OOO,- 000 according to an estimate by chair thereafter, a further reduction of the services remained unchanged.
 The proposed pay arrangement is based on a combination of length of service with the rate increase incl dent to promotion.
