What They'r Doing
Added Mileage for Private Cars
Refused by Board of Control
The state board of control Wednesday rejected a proposal
that state employes using their private automobiles on state
business have their mileage allowances increased.
State employes who now use their cars for state business
are paid four cents a mile. Sev
eral state departments said they
wanted this allowance increased
to 5 cents. State Budget Director
George Aiken suggested that the
mileage allowance schedule be
fixed at 5 cents a mile for the
first 1000 miles and 4 cents a
mile thereafter.
Aiken said a small increase
was justified because the em
ployes are wearing out their tires
on state business.
