MORE PAY WANTED.
Meeting or Policemen Who Desire an
Equalization OF Salaries.

Previous to the year 1878 the policemen in
the District of Columbia were paid 500 n
month. In that year 1t was decided to
increase the number of mounted men, but
as no extra appropriation had been made for
the Increased expense of maintaining the horses
the Commissioners found that the only way of
cutting the Gordlan knot was to reduce the pay of
twenty.six privates to S7j a month, the difference
between $40 and 500 being used for the mounted
branch Of the service. This discrimination is hard
on those who are rated in the SIS class. They per-
form exactly the same duties MS their more for
tunate brethren, in fact in many cases do more

their pay be Increased to 800, and with this OBJ
