along Front street, Portland built
the most modern and complete
public market in the world. The
entire establishment is under
cover, the shopper can check his
car and wheel his basket about
gathering purchases. "Don't miss
it!" the speaker urged.
"Flowers are like people. Find
out their environment treat
them right make them happy
and they will make you happy,"
he stated.
Baker advised his audience to
plant- the bulb rather then the
seed unless they had all facili
ties. Instructions were as follows:
1. Scoop out all earth from the
prospective bed to a depth of 18
or 20 inches.
2. Fill with two parts learn,
part leaf mold, part thoroughly
rotted cow manue, and part
coarse sand.

L
Bank Department's Salary
Increases Approved and
Other Action Taken
A Meier-to-Elnclg and Elnile
to-Holman board of control ses
sion was held here Monday with
neither the governor nor the state
treasurer sitting down together
at the session. Later In the day,
however, the "ghost" gathering
was reversed when the two mem
bers of the board of control Joint
ly attended a state reclamation
committee session.
"The board went through the
formality of approving five salary
increases for employes of the state
banking department, increases
previously approved September
21, 1933, at a meeting of the state
banking board.
Holman declared that he had
no recollection of approving the
new salary schedule as a member
of the sttate banking board, and
if he had, It had slipped his mind.
The minutes of the banking
board at which the salaries were
increased were signed by Holman.
The revised salary schedule
showed that the compensation of
Tinkham Gilbert had been increas
ed from $250 to $260 a month
while the salary of E. T. Way was
advanced from $175 to $225 a
month. Gilbert recently resigned
as a member of the state banking
department staff to accept a posi
tion in the Ladd & Bush bank
here.
Other increases were: S. Diet-
rick, from $175 to $200; Sidney
H. Kromer from $155 to $170 and
Orrll J. Smith from $160 to $170
a month. T. B. Lunsden at $225
and Elsie Barnard at $125 a
month were added to the staff.
A number of other matters, pre
viously approved by Governor
Meier, were submitted to Hllman
at the "ghost" session. One of
these Involved the leasing of four
rooms In the Mayer building In
Portland for the state milk com
mission. This memorandum indi
cated that the milk commission
proposes to maintain its headquar
ters in Portland and not In Salem.
Other items included various state
purchases.
William Einzig, secretary of the
board of control, announced that
bids for two power shovels and
two trailers for the state highway
department had been rejected be
cause of violation of the code.
New bids will be sought.
The recent proposal to send a
representative to Washington to
urge an appropriation of $1,500,-
000 to cover the cost of the state s
building program, was taken un
der advisement by Governor
Meier. It was proposed that this
money be borrowed from the pub
lic works administration and be
repaid on a rental basis over a'
long period of years.
