THE SALARY ORDINANCE.
His Honor the Mayor VIII Sign 1t
Today.

Notwithstanding the extremely pre-
vious statement made by the Tribune
yesterday morning the salary ordin-
ance is still minus the signature of
Mayor Baskin and will remain in that
condition until this morning, when his
honor will sign the measure and re-
turn It to the city recorder.
Although all of the provisions of the
ordinance do not strike his honor as
being exactly the proper thing he does
not desire to sickle over trifies and
will give it his approval. The reduc-
lions made are in his opinion, eouit-
able, as a general proposition, and will
work hardships on none of the city
employees. In cases where combiha-
tions have been made and offices abol-
ished the city's service will not be i'm
paired, for the present. at least, but
the mayor thinks some of the Offices
viii necessarily need to be again Gre
ated when work on the several public
improvements is resumed.
