Plan To Make Real State Merit System
ALBUQUERQUE, Jan 17. A February 1 start date was set for the state’s new merit system by Ralph S. Trigg, chairman, who will take the $3,600 a year job he was appointed to by Governor Miles. The commission will test all applicants and first apply to its own employer, with Trigg to be examined. The panel includes Dr Thomas C. Donnelly and Miguel Leyva. Agencies under the merit system cover several state facilities and the ports of entry. Trigg, once discharged under the first merit plan, voiced hope that merit will replace politics in staffing.
