pIoyes in Positions CON-
parable to Federal Posts.

The aim OF department heads Of
the District government in carrying
out tho reclassifcation law will be
TO assign their employees to grades
that will entitle them TO salaries
comparable with the amounts re-
ceived by similar workers in the

This was emphasized by Mai
Daniel ]. Donovan. city auditor, to-
day when he explained the details Of
the law TO heads Of all agencies OF
the city government at a meeting in
the District building.

Maj. Donovan pointed out that sal
aries in the District service have al
ways been lower than those in the
federal departments. and asserted
classified the District offices two
years ago it did not bring them up
to a level with the executive depart
ments.
II would be contrary to the very
purpose of the reclassification law, he
said, to SO grade District workers
that they would continue to receive
less than clerks doing the same kind
of work in other departments of the
government.
Whether this equality between the
federal and District services is to
be accomplished. however, will rest
with the personnel classification
board created by the law.
To Pass on Recommendation.
That board will pass upon the
recommendations sent forward by
Maj. Donovan's committee for each

tion sheets the department head will
set forth the rating given each en-
