Higher Salaries for Minor Employees Needed to Retain ‘Qualified Personnel

reinforce their ‘requests for money and reform in 1949. Health men dreamed up the idea of a cigaret tax to finance health and education programs in Indiana. It was designed to raise $0 million of new revenue for those two

purposes.

Yet, Dr. Williams pointed out, the legislature saw fit to take an optimistic view of costs for the coming yedr and allowed for an increased expenditure of only four cents a patient daily, » ¥ » FUNDS made available for sala- | ries in institutions would, if no salary increases were granted to present personnel, be enough to hire only half the additional employees hospital staffs need for minimum {efficiency and safety.

The | {lawmakers authorized Governor, Gates to pay a man in Dr: Williams’ category up to $10,000 a year, $2000: n more than the governor himacly makes. The action ended the unofficial but long-observed “ceiling” of $6000 a year for such officials. To pay more, prim legislators always have ‘contended, would be to bring them | too close to the salary paid the top| state official.

Also a victim-of the explosion is the photographer, who happens to be her husband, John Oliver, Pittsboro,
