The present deadlock of the city council
places the citys finances in bad shape, as
the city treasurer has no right TO pay out
a cent OF money on bills contracted this
month. All of the city employees should
be paid weekly, but cannot until this ap-
preparation ordinance becomes a law. The
mayor, in an interview this morning, ex-
pressed himself as willing to call special
session of the city council to act in this
matter as soon as a Willingness was eX-
pressed on the part of the members to
come to some understanding in the matter.
AS health officer should be elected this
month it is probable that meeting will
be called in few days TO fill that office

in favor of creating a board of health,
consisting of three members instead of
one man, as at present.
During this fight regarding iremen's sal
aries il may he interesting to know what
they formerly received. In 1885, Sl2 per
year was the pay for call men. In 1886 it
was raised to S25, and in 1857 $40 was
added To the salary, making il S35. In
1888 the town council fixed il at $50 per
aunum. and in 1890. the first year of
Mayor Ponds administration, the salary
was made $50 per year for call men. Thus
il will seem in six years the salary has
been increased three-fold.
