the street commissioner on Plum street ID
at some places two feet above tho surface
of the street. che petitioner also COM
planned a.'ol' tho manner in which the

to pass :su ordinance for the purpose of
getting the assent Of the voters of the city

the twenty inch water main from Lime
and Orange streets to Charlotte and Orange
streets. There were several reasons as
signed Why the main should bo extended.
A communication from Mr.. Schleich

failing it to their Deighb,rs. All of tho

same.

MI. Cox, from the fire committee, re-
ported some changes made in the firo dc
partment, all Oi which have been noted in
the local columns Of this paper. The ro
port of tho committee also set forth tho
expenditures during the present month.
Mr.. Hurst presented the petition Of sev-
eral hundred property owners, asking for
an increase Of the salary of the police
officers from $40 to $50 per month, and
the salary of the chief tn l,e raised from
$50 to $50 per month. After the clerk of
the councils had read the petition Mr..
Hurst offered q resolution to grant the in
crease asked for, said increase to date from
August LIST. n
Mr.. Power opposed increasing the
pOlioemen's pay. He said they made
great deal of extra money each month At
the aldernan's Offices, and, in addition,
he did not think they did their duty ss
efficiently as they should. He said he
know instances of ladies' having been in
suited on the street in presence Of Ohicors,
and they never interfered.
Mr.. Riddle favored the Increase asked
for, and said to have good police force
the men must be well paid. He did not
think $40 an adequate compensation.
Mr.. Hurst also spoke in favor of the in
crease. He said it cost tho men at least
SS5 per year for clothing, and they could
not afford that out of their salary. Since
the auditors have been examining into the
way business has heretofore been done,
there is comparatively littlo to be made
extra at the aldermen'S Office. .rr ID
The resolution was argued further by
Messrs. Eaby and Schum, and the latter
gentleman moved 20 amend by referring it
to the finance committee to ASCERTAIN
whether the appropriation made for the
pay of the police force during the year will
allow Of the increase being made. The
was defeated, and the resOlu-
tiOn was adopted by the following vote:
Ayes--COrmeny, Cox. Dinklebery,
Hartley, Huber, Hurst. Lichty, MckiI.
lips, Middleton, Moore, Reith, Riddle,
