When the question was raised at the
hearing yesterday as to the effect OF

William H. McReynolds OF the classi-
fication board said that Ii the provision
was omitted and no promotions were
made except those required by law, the
only advances would be to those who
are now getting less than the new mini
mum steps fixed In the bill and the
immediate cost Of that would be four
or five million dollars He emphasized, q,
however, that ne did not mean 1t would
not ultimately cost $l8.000.000 as gen.

took the view that while the increases

empioyes I'D TO the minimum steps
would amount TO four or five millions,
the other increases included In the esti-
mated total of si8,000,000 would be au.
