1. The per cent of the appropriation paid for salaries is less in 
New York than in either of the others of which the records are 
fully given. Connecticut pays eighty-six per cent, New Jersey 
sixty-five per cent, Maine fifty-nine per cent, and New York but 
forty-five per cent. 
2. The average salaries paid to the officers are lower than in 
most States, for the average salary in Connecticut is $1,400, in 
Massachusetts $1,575, in New Jersey $1,025, and in New York 
$1,100; and inthis connection I wish to call attention to Exhibit O, 
where it appears that one employé of your Station, who was paid 
$1,000, has been called into like service in Tennessee at a salary 
of $1,800; another, who received at your Station $1,800, has been 
called to carry forward in Wisconsin the same work he did at 
Geneva and receives a salary of $2,000 and certain perquisites 
materially increasing his salary; still another, who was receiving at 
your Station $1,000, has been called to Indiana for the same ser- — 
vice he gave you, and receives $1,600 and his expenses in a iy to 
Europe as additional compensation. 
Still another, who has been working at your Station for the 
pitiful sum of $660 a year (pitiful for the valuable services he has — 
performed), has recently been advanced to a salary of $1,800, and ~ 
is now urged to accept positions in Vermont, Maryland, Iowa and 
Virginia, at an increase over what he now receives. 
Finally, another, who receives at your Station $1,000, is being 
urged to accept another place in a neighboring State for $1,500. 
It thus appears that the scientific work which has been done at — 
your Station has been secured in every instance at less cost than 
other States have been and are willing to pay for the same service. — 
I repeat, then, that the fact that these men have been called away — 
to continue their labors in other places, and at greatly increased 
compensation, clearly proves that the work they performed was — 
excellent and valuable, and that their work was secured, as we > 
may say. at much less than the true market price.
