Sewer would be a usurpation of Its
igislative rights.
An attack en the prcseut listing of i
snuntcipal jobs was made today by the
;Clvil Service Reform Association which
'pointed out that city payrolls are camou cameu
baging physicians, nurses, chauffeurs,
clerks, stenographers and telephone op
erators under the meaningless title of
miscellaneous helpers.
The 1021 budget of the department
f receiver of taxes, which is net under
the Mayer, is an cxample of "what con
be accomplished in simplifying titles
and making them correspond te the
duties of the position, and also illus
trates the old inequality of cempensa
tien of persons doing substantially .
similar work." I
, This department, nccerding te the ,
association, "in its budget statement
made earnest efforts te fellow the rec
ommendations embodied in the Philadel
phia classification report."
Estimates of the departments under
the Mayer are net yet available in
printed form.
Says the association further:
"The salaries requested for 1021 for
twelve principal tax clerks In the dei
partment of receiver of taxes range from
31800 te $2300, or through n range of
28 xer cent. In 1020 their salaries for
substantially the same services ranged
from $1440 te $2300, or 03 per cent.
"Under the principle of equal pay for
equal service a variation from the low
est te the highest of 23 per cent is mere
equitable than one of 63 per cent.
-"The City Council can without dif
ficulty obtain the budget estimates al
ready prepared by various department
head in accordance with the accurate
and simplified titles contemplated by
the new charter. The City Council can
llkewlae de much te eliminate the old
inequalities in compensation and give
practical effect te the old maxim of
common justice, 'Equal pay for equal
work.' "
this year." said Mrs. Clothier.
'Mr.
Clothier has taken keen interest in the
news despite his physical condition.
Last year he drove te the polls through
the rain in order te cast his vote.
"The usual family reunion dinner
will net be held today. We huve te
keep Mr. Clothier quiet."

The Savings Averaging 45 Per Cent!
The creat cash purchasing power of this Largest Fur Stere of the Eastern States has enabled us te make
the announcement of the most sensational Sale of Frnrs for years past. Fur merchants, owing te the fact that

months have hit scores of these Fur Merchants, and hit them hard.
Se We Bought Huge Stocks of Furs for Cash ,
Announcing the Greatest Fur Event Since the War!
The price-concessions, indicated below, show values that are much lower than last season, and, indeed,
reach the feweVlevels of several years age. This is thus the most remarkable opportunity of several years,
and it will be decidedly well worth your while te shop here tomorrow!
