Some of these scales differ only slightly from others, Sarne ap pear to have been created for In dividual holders of posts and there are wide diversities in the rates paid to men of presumably, comparable degrees of skill in various depart ments. We are of the opinion, that in future, as many of the lower grade stall as possible should be employ ed on daily rates of pay with guaranteed 30-day month,
