THE SALARY BILL.
Alderman Winslow reported the salary bill
from the committee salaries, to whom il
had been referred. He stated that the bill had
haas orrs, aixr 20, fbe,
pay of the police. The committee had decided
to increase the salary of the chief of the fire
department to $500 year, the understanding
being that he is to devote all his time TO the
city.
The bill was read by the Mayor.
Alderman Hawkes. moved that the pay of
the police be made 50, instead of 50 12d. as
reported. The vote resulted as follows: In
favor-Hawkes, Tukesbury, Meleher; opposed
-BirDie, Gould, Winslow, Emery.
The bill as reported by Alderman Winslow
was then adopted and sent down.
When the bill came back concurred in, with
the exception of the matter Of policemen's sal
aries, Mr.. Emery moved 10 recede from the
former vote of S2.123 day, and To concur
with the Common Council, with the amend
ment that the sum of s45 be given to each Off
Ger for the purchase of uniform. Carried,
to 8. Alderman fukesbury explained that he
favored receding from the original vote, but
did not approve of giving the men S45 as pro-
vided in the amendment. The bill as amend
ed was then sent down.
The bill came back from the lower board en-
dorsed that the Common Council voted to in
| sist on its former action.
Alderman Winslow said he bad not favored
| giving the policemen 50 12l per day, but 50 %,
| still il was manifestly improper that the dead
| lock should continue longer. In justice to the
| police themselves be would move to Tecede
| from the action taken by the board, and to
| concur with the lower board in fixing the sal
| ary Of the policemen at 81 per day.
| The Mayor said he considered it very small
business on the part of the members of the
| lower board, who were also members OF the
salary committee, after fixing the salaries of
| the police at S212A cents, and then coming
| substantiate the report OF the salary commit
| tee in their board, to go back on their promise
to him, as well as their promise in tue COM
/ mittee room.
| Mr.. Hawkes. asked the Mayor ii the alder
men had not been the aggressive party, and,
| if the members Of the salary committee in the
| Board of Aldermen had not been the first ones
| to break the slate made mp in committee.
| The Mayor ruled Mr.. Hawkes. out of orler.
| The Mayor said the only reason why he
/ should sign bill, that he regarded as unjust
| and unequal was that 50 many of the officials
needed their money. "Others ise," said His
Honor, II should disapproye Of the bill before
| leaving the chair"
| The motion of Alderman Winslow was then
adopted and the bill passed, 4 TO 3.
AS finally passed by both branches Of the
| City Council the salary bill for the present
municipal year is as follows:
