State Mental Hospital Director
A. E. H. Ruth favors a review of
salaries to attract and keep we'll
qualified employees rather than
der-the-table" perquisites.
Mr.. Ruth made the statement
yesterday in a letter to Will
liamsburg Delegate Russell Car
neal who had objected to MIR
Mr.. Ruth's cutting out food per-
quiSites for mental hospital en-
ployes and substituting pay caf-
eteriaS.
Il am completely in agreement
that the salary structure of the
hospital employees should be re-
viewed and salaries paid COM

Ruth wrote.

allowance for employees of the

had been receiving one meal per

get $88 in cash in the future.
In addition, they will get a $50
cash increase in pay. According
to Mr.. Ruth, the $l3S will cover
the average cost Of one cafeteria

Fourteen staff members of

make up for the removal of the
perquisites and Carneal had

Mr.. Ruth is attempting to set
up pay cafeterias in the mental

The new food plan also has
been severely criticized by E.

Mr.. Ruth told Mr.. Carneal he
did not consider establishment of
pay cafeterias for employees as
an end result" adding:
1T is merely part of a program
to insure that funds approprl-

sick are applied to that purpose. :
