A Synopsis of the Bill They Will Pre-
sent at Trenton.
The engineers, stokers, drivers, tiller-
men and permanent hosemen and truck
men of the Jersey City Fire Depart
ment, encouraged by the success of the
Police Department in securing increased
salaries, have commenced a vigorous
movement in the same direction. For
years the regular firemen AVE commended
that the majority are too poorly paid for
their arduous services and that there IS
a gross inequality in the matter of
salaries. They have decided to urge the
enactment of a bill by the present Legis-
lature, increasing their pay II equal
izing the salary list.

George Green, of No. s; treasurer. Ly-
man Quackenboss, of No. Z.
AT the meeting, Assemblynen Potts,
Boyle, Kelly, Murphy and Byrnes were
present. A general conference and ex-
change of views followed. The Assembly
men encouraged the committee in its
work, and Assemblyman Erwin sent a
note regretting his enforced absence, and
expressing sympathy with the movement.
The officers were appointed a sub-com-
mittee to prepare q bill. This was pre-
sented at the meeting last evening.
The meeting was presided over by
Chairman Keogh, and William Schoppe,
of Engine No. 10, acted as secretary.
The chairman stated that the chief en-
0ineer had declined to connect himself
with the movement or to make any sug-
gestion as to the proposed bill.

ing with the first day of the first calen-
dar month after the election. The bill
further provides for the raising of neces-
sary funds, by the issue of bonds. in case
there is not sufficient money in the city
treasury to pay the increased salaries.
A general talk was held by the dele
gates, but no definite action was taken,
and the meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the chair.
The salaries of the men interested in
the matter. are now:-- atfa s &
