Auto Mileage Rules For State Employees
The state board of examiners declared yesterday that when train or stage transportation is available state employees should use it and not their private cars. They cited a prior admonition and noted abuse of the mileage statute allowing 12.5 cents per mile. The board supports auto use only when travel into the interior necessitates it and sees no reason to pay rail fare for intercity trips.
