WAGE SCALE

Governor Harry w. Nice advo-
Gates a uniform wage scale for all
State Roads Commission employees.
He said he would recommend that
one be adopted beginning October 1,
at not less than 40 cents an hour.
The Governor points out that the
Roads Commission could only set
this uniform scale for workers on
the main State highways paid from
funds absolutely at the control of
the commission.
He said the County Commissioners
of the twenty-three counties have the
authority, under an act of the 1888
LEGISLATURE, to determine the base
rate of pay for unskilled labor en-
ployed by the Roads Commission in
their counties. This applies to
workers paid from the lateral road
funds allocated the counties.
The Governor, however, urges the
County Commissioners to change
their base rates to pay for the bien-
MUM beginning October l in order to
conform Uniform wage scale OF the
Roads Commission.
