By Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Aug. 21. J, L. Jacobs, efficiency expert otf the firm of J. L. Jacobs & Co. of Chicago, is here helpjng the new departments tinder the code law get started in an effi cient manner. Mr., Jacobs is ex perienced in this line of work and is-familiar with the system used in Illinois, where he says it has been estimated that the new Code there would save the state $340,000 for the present bienium. Mr. Jacobs said that under the efficiency system which would be put in effect in this, state under the code responsibility would be placed on the department heads and that there would he a reduction in em ployes because of the doing away with duplications in the keeping of "records. " Will Watch Finances. "Governor McKelvie is very anxious that the' code -should Tic applied in a businesslike way," said Mr. Jacobs, "and I am endeavoring to get a line on the different depart ments, in fact, have been working around them since Monday getting facts and figures w-ith the idea of giving the state the very best and effective accounting and purchasing system together with the njost ef fective manner of carrying' on the state's business." All finances will be under the De partment of Finance, of which Mr. Bross, former private secretary, is the head. All kinds of work will be j)ut under the same head and salaries scaled to meet these heads. For instance, there may be three grades of stenographers, based upon the work they do and their efficir ency In th work. Each depart ment head will be responsible for the work of its employes and weekly reports will be made to the secre tary of finance. Each department will ikeep its own books relative to ap propriations jnd expenses;"' bmt all accounting will be under the De partment of Finance. The auditor ' and secretary of state will not be interfered with in the matter of the drawing of warnans for that is a part of their constitutional duties. The makingout of vouchers for each employe and the swearing to the same individually is another thVg that will make way for the pay roll method. Each department will keep a pay roll and a record of the work done. The head of the depart ment will then make a sworn record to the auditor, who will draw the warrants. Examiners in the employ of the state and those out on state business will be given mileage books and a complete record turned in of Central Figures in State-Probe df H. C.

ST, Sixty South Side Property Owners Petition State Rail- way Commission for Rail road JExtension. Sixty property owners on the South Side have signed the petition toN the State Railway commission asking that the Omaha & Southern railroad, operating the Fort Crook interurban, extend its line through and beyond the business district. At present the cars back on a "Y" at Twenty-fourth and N- streets. The petitioners request that the com nanv run a loop up to J or F street Within a block of Twenty-fourth and J streets there is the high school and seven churches. "There is no reason why the ex tension should not be made." stated Miorney j. j. Dreen inursaay, Everybody in Bellevuf and thetfifth avenue, following a long ill- residence each mile used and between the points traveled. Instead of being paid actual expenses they will be allowed so much per day for ex penses. The purchasing department will look after the purchase of supplies and whenever a department needs a certain line, other departments need ing asimilar supply will be put to gether and bids asked to cover the amount. Purchasing for departments, or ganization of departments and the work in connection therewith, cen tralization of purchases, standardiza tion of salarjes, uniform method of reports and one or two other things will make the business systemof the state as near perfect as it is pssibie to make it when starting off on the new plan.
