The administrators receive to-day Fr.i2,ooo (;£^48o) ; in 1897, they called themselves directors of administration at Fr.8,ooo(;£'32o)and Fr.9,000 (;^36o). In 1897 the inspectors-general had Fr.9,000 ; to-day they receive Fr.io,ooo (iJ'400). In 1897 inspectors and heads of depart- ments had a maximum salary of Fr.7,000 (^^280) ; to-day they go up to Fr.8,ooo (;£'320) or Fr.9,000 (^360). To receive their maximum salary they formerly had to wait six years ; a fortnight after the issue of the Mini...sterial circular, authorising the economies, the period in question was reduced from six years to three.
The business inaptitude of the State is shown not only by excessive officialism, centralisation, and red-tape, but also by a slackness of control and a bad quality of work. In presenting the railway budget of 1905, M. Hubert declared that "responsibility does not weigh heavily enough upon the shoulders of individual members of the staff, who themselves depend on the Minister." He especially pointed to the lack of harmony of view between the three great branches of the service — management, permanent way, and the operating staff As in France, the number of claims paid by the State for loss, damage and delay is much greater than the number of claims paid by the companies (2-63 per cent., as against I'S per cent., according to the traffic accounts).
