Alderman Smart moved that the salary OF
Alderman McClutchy seconded the mo-
tion. After some debate the motion
was defeated. Alderman Shaw wanted
the salary Of the chief Of the
FIRE department raised to $3.50, and so did
Alderman Rand, but the other gentlemen
voted against 1t. Alderman Shaw called up
the petition in regard to advancing the
salaries OF the engineers Of the steam fire
engines and moved their salaries be restored
to $500. Aldermen McClutchy and Rand
tried to get Mr.. Shaw's motion through but
the other four Aldermen voted against. and
defeated ii.
The bill went down to the Common Coun-
Gil and that body amended 1t by providing
$500 per month for the support of the
street commissioners horse. When the bill
came back the Aldermen voted not to concur
with the action of the lower board, and the
Mayor appointed Aldermen McClutchy and
Smart as committee TO confer with a COM
mittee from the Common Council to see If a
settlement could not be reached. The COM
mittee reported that they concurred with the
action Of the Council, and the board voted
finally to accept the report Of the committee.
