Line resolution OF Inc city council award
ing the contract for laying the granite block

The proposition to raise the salary of the
city attorney to &, 400, which is now before
the city council, is exciting considerable pub
lie comment, The proposition Is made in the
form of employing an assistant at the salary
Of SIS per month. That amount, to be sure,
is none too much to pay an assistant, if an
assistant is really needed to do the work of the
Office. But whether there is sufficient work
incident to the office of city attorney to re-
quire the services of two men is question
| which may well be raised. Other attorneys
| think not. II is an asserted fact that our city
attorney now has ample time to devote to
private business and to the prosecution of
legal causes entrusted to the law firm of
Benton 81 Pittman. If this be true, the adop-
| ton of the resolution would be a hardship
Before final action is taken it would be well 10
have the matter thoroughly Investigated.
