New Orders Issued for State Employees Time on Duty
State executive council issued an order requiring state employees to devote all their time to the state when salaries are fixed by the council. The move follows a demand by sanitary engineer Lake Higgins to raise his pay to 2500 and work four fifths of his time for the state. Higgins would lose 1500 after July 4 under the new law, prompting consideration of an investigation and possible changes.

Prof B A Ross exposes false ideas about South America in his book South of Panama.
