The Pay of Policemen and rircmen.

In all the talk about rctronchmcnt OF the
city's expenses now going ON here and at
Albany we hear no word of cutting down
the pay of policemen and lircmcn.
Comptroller KELLY Is silent ON the
subject Mayor ELY has written n
letter expressly declaring against n
reduction: and the subcommittee Of the
Assembly sonmittce on Cities, which met
