Expensive Service for Livestock Men
Helena May 25 At a meeting of the state board of livestock commissioners Secretary Raymond proposed reorganizing the detective and inspector service to cut costs and improve efficiency. He urged separating inspection by appointed inspectors paid for work done from a detective force under a head. He cited inspectors' pay and minimal results to argue current system wastes money, predicting annual savings of at least 15000 dollars and 10000 for the remainder of the year.
