with other departments likely to under Civil Service in the future, the question of salary and possible adjustments is of extreme importance," Mr. Hawthorne said. Mr. Hawthorne informally has suggested job reclassification and wage adjustments in some cases. He said anything definite along this line must await Monday's meeting.

In opposing, any general wage Increases, Page said that while "some minor adjustments" might be justified at time, a widespread boost is unjustified. "I'm opposed to any general increase on the theory that wages, SO I am told, are not being raised in private business or industry at this time," said Mr. Page. Mr. Hawthorne explained that most of 1940-41 budget estimates of the various county department heads have been received by the board's finance committee and await consideration of the finance and employes committees.

"I believe that almost each department has made some wage recommendation," said Mr. Hawthorne. He added that the employes committee has not discussed salaries as yet this year and that until such time as the department estimates are taken under consideration, he had no suggestions to make.

1842 The city's Board of Estimate and Apportionment prepared today to study a 1941 city welfare budget which will approximate compared with the current year's it delayed action on proposed increases in several other departments. The board, Corporal Counsel Herman F. Nehlsen explained, must approve departmental budget estimates before they are submitted to City Council as a of the completed tentative budget for 1941. Council, however, has the authority to override the board's action. The board will get the $350,500 welfare department estimate, which has completed by Acting Welfare Commissioner James J.

Casler, late today or tomorrow, Mr. Nehlsen said. The lower 1941 estimates, Mr. Casler said, are due to more favorable expectations for next year as the result of declining welfare expenditures during the past monthe. The costs for September alone, it was pointed were nearly $8,000 under last year's September costs of $33,400.

Meanwhile, the Board of Estimate had deferred approval of City Treasurer Charles E. Sweet's estimate, of $24,265 for next year, an allocation which would compare with $17,940 in the treasurer's department this year, The treasurer's department budget provides for three new clerks and other costs connected with the new local law establishing four yearly tax payments instead of two. Sweet estimated the increased costs occasioned by the tax collection system change alone at $6,000. The board has also deferred action on City Engineer John A. Giles' request for a $32,300 allocation next year in the place of the $27.900 budget in effect in his department this year.

The increase, Mr. Giles said, would permit wage increases for department employes and provide for salaries for two workers who are now paid out of a special bond issue for WPA projects. The city engineer, under the increased department budget. would get $4,200 instead of the deputy city engineer would get $3,800 instead of $3,200 and other workers would get smaller wage jumps. Mr.

Nehlsen said that the corporation counsel's budget estimate (Continued on Page Thirty-four) SISSON'S FIRST SHOWING THE MAYTAG Commander Maytag JLW THE NEW ALL-WHITE COMMANDER MAYTAG WASHER NOW ON DISPLAY Name Address ALL WHITE MAYTAG and WASHER up Model 108 TRADE IN YOUR WASHER SISSON CO..
