SALARIES OF PUBLIC SERVANTS.
Council Committees Agree Upon the Remu-
neratiOn of Several Municipal Employees

The Council committee on salaries and mar
kets met jointly, last evening, to consider the or
dinance that had been referred to it, regarding
remuneration for the master of the east market,
and the pay for assistant chief fire engineer and
pipemen. 1t was decided to give the latter $40
per month and the assistant chief $75 but q
proposition to pay 1900 per year to the market
master caused a division Of opinion. Mr.. Haugh
wanted it limited to 81. 900. The 81, 200 support
ers, however, showed that the market master
would have to hire his own assistants,
and he consented to that figure.
During the talk Mr.. Waterman and MIR. Haugh
expressed themselves in favor of general re-
duction Of salaries. but they regarded it as i'm.
possible 10 do anything in that way at present
Mr.. Pearson said official salaries here were no
higher than in other cities of the same class
Mr.. Waterman thought that since mercantile
salaries had been greatly decreased within the
last five years there was no reason for keeping
official compensation at figures established when
living was high. Mr. Pearson remarked that it
was mistake to think officers got
city paid them. Municipal officers
were daily beset by persons making
appeals for this or that charity Tickets to en-
tertainnents were sent in by packages, and it
was expected that officials will return the equiv
aent in cash. Then there political assess
ments that eat into the aggregate sum- so, after
all. but little, comparatively. is left to the
official. While it is not probable anything will
be done in the near future, the reduction of sal
aries is shaping itself into a question that this
or the coming Council will have to meet.

about the same time Tony Baubermann tried to
end his life with ten grains of the drug. Within
two months two of mis- children have died. and
his grief caused him to make the attempt to kill
himself Dr.. G. !. Fletcher pumped the poison
out of both of the unfortunates. Baubsrmann's
condition was quite serious last night, and it
was feared that he would die.
