The Senate added two at the top, max
ing seven, to correspond to the old law.
On all OF those we were compelled To
recede one-half. one step that we put
on at the top. That gives everybody
two steps up in advance except the last
, one, who gets only one step. In the
rest OF the grades the House had only
stepped them up one step. and We put
on one step at the top We were COM
PEELED to take off that step, so that
in those grades everybody will get one
step advance except the one at the top,
who gets no advance.
