SETTLEMENTS

I'SETTLENENTS'-The Depart
ment OF Revenue has been criticised
severely for It's past policy OF allow
ing deputy CoAeCtors caught steal
lNS TO pay their Shortages and re-
sign. Half the people around Capitol
Square know OF such instances. One
woman WnO Was allowed 10 pay up
and resign is now employed IN an
~tHer department. Moreover, it was
discovered by two neWSpapermen
only the other day, there is a cas-
III another department where a man
was allowed TO pay back $500 he adj
Mitted he stole and was retained as
an employe Of the department at the
anne salary-although since then he
1asn't handled any money.
The case OF the man who was al
owed to pay back and keep his JOB
happened about tom years ago. HIS
departmental superiors conferred,
ta.ked to him and decided to give
AIM another chance He had a fam
.ly and was broke. Dangerous as til,
experiment may have been, it work
ed this time. Since then he has done
a good job-so good that not long
ago the governor considered him for
a big promotion for which ne had
many recomm lndations. Although
there was no talk about he mat
ter, the whole thing was put down
