Mining Department Bill Faces Opposition Over Costs
In Harrisburg on January 17 opponents argued the measure to create a mining department would cost the treasury dearly. It would appoint a chief at 5000 dollars, a deputy or chief clerk at 2500, four clerks at 1000, and forty inspectors at 8000, replacing the current twenty nine inspectors earning 5000 each. They say the plan mostly aims to justify new offices and extra spending rather than improve oversight. The proposed bill would place the bureau under Internal Affairs with weekly reports to the chief and accountability for accurate work records.
