STATE PAYROLL BOOST
Calm skies are showing over
the state employes salary situa
tion that are brighter for the
state and the employes than they
ever have been in the history of
state work in Oregon
For years the state has been
losing money on a heavy turn
over of its employes. Too Many
beginners were working only un
til they were trained to a type of
job then left because private in
dustry paid more and personality
jars were not so unpleasant in
smaller offices and industrial
crews.
The long-delayed salary ad
justment plan was launched by
the 1953 legislative Interim com
mittee who asked that a $50,000
survey and report be prepared by
Banington Associates, salary spe
cialists of N. Y. This was worked
over by the civil service commis
sion and modeled to its present
form by Civil Service Administra
tor Charles W. Terry'- Temmy's
work got the unanimous approval
of the state emergency board Fri
day. The slate legislature appropri
ated $1,300,000 to the state emer
gency board to provide for salary
adjustments of employes in de
partments pending upon general
fund appropriations. A like
amount was authorized bv the
legislature for self-sustaining re
payments. The total available
for this purpose being $2,774,000.
Only six department heads and
a handfull of the state's 16,000
employees have registered com
plaints over the new plan of sal
ary adjustments financed by the
recent legislature.
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL
Oregon shouldn't accept federal
funds to aid in construction of the
$100,000 out patient clinic at the
Oregon State Hospital, Gov Paul
Patterson said at a meeting of
the State Board of Control this
week. He advised that it might
make it impossible for some cities
to get federal funds for hospitals,
if the money is allocated by
states.
Secretary of State Earl T. New
bry observed that the state should
move to acquire the funds, which
of course would be subject lo
regular clearance.
The Oregon State Medical So
ciety failed to convince the board
it should increase fees for the
out-patient clinic. The top fee
will remain $G an hour for those
in the $5,000 $0,000 annual salary
bracket. The fees will remain
