102 apply to both civil servants and military officers, therefore, he did not, as Troitskii claimed, follow the Senate’s recommendation. Heinrich Pick also argued against the idea that civil servants should be paid according to the military salary schedule. He pointed to the Swedish system as an example, since in Sweden: expenditures for, and the maintenance of, the civil service are not the same as for the military service, for when there is no war in Sweden the provincial regiments remain in their ordinary quarters and the officers stay on the farms which are assigned to them and thus have no special support for their maintenance or for their clothing, but the civil servants, on the other hand, must without exception live in the city and buy everything with cash, and they have expenses and expenditures in proportion to their positions. According to the preliminary collegial budgets of 1718, the total salaries for seven colleges amounted to 105,162 rubles, while the total cost of the prikaz administration was reported at the time to have been 109,026 rubles.^®® However, when it comes to this comparison of the costs of the prikaz and collegial administrations it must be pointed out that the calculations for the colleges did not include the admiralty or the college of foreign affairs, both of which were very large. In addition, it should be fewer individuals than had been employed in the prikazy. Thus, salaries for the civil servants in the colleges were generally higher than those that had been paid to the employees of theprikazy. The budget proposals drawn up by the colleges proved to be inadequate after the colleges actually began their operations. In 1720, for example, salary expenditures were reported as listed on page 103. According to the preliminary collegial budgets of 1718, a total of 333 individuals were to be employed by the seven colleges, but the table on page 103 shows that these same seven colleges had a total staff of 448 in 1720, an increase of 115 individuals. In addition, the table shows that the college of foreign affairs and the admiralty, the two colleges which had not submitted budgets in 1718, together employed 268 people in 1720. It is interesting to observe that the salary costs do not show a similar increase. For seven colleges with a total staff of some 330 people in 1718, the salary costs were calculated to be 105,162 rubles, while the actual salary costs for nine colleges with a staff of over 700 people in 1720 were ofitserov russkoi armii v kontse severnoi voiny," in N.
