In the time intervening between
the two DEGREES he married
Ann Dyson, the respondent, and through
a third party transferred his property to

WANT MORE SALARY.
License Commits sioners' Pay, and Why
IL should BE Raised.


The license commissioners have made
an application to the City Council for an
increase OF salary. Under the old
system of three commissioners they
were paid $500 each, with $500 addi-
tional to the secretary OF the board.
There arc five commissioners under the
present system elected for five years at a
salary OF 500 each per annum with 500
additional for the secretary The number
OF licenses which will be issued by the
present board Is 1872, and the revenue there
from aggregates slS5,6OO-i00 second-class
licenses at 500 each and 81 first class at
$500 each. 1t can readily be seen that the
office is one OF great responsibility and
demands the exercise OF careful
Judgment and discrimination. II
is also necessary TO keep con-
slant surveillance over the saloons
i'm order to discover violations of the law,
and much time has to be devoted 10 per-
sonal investigation OF complaints. The
application TO the City Council directs
attention to the duties and responsible
ties OF the office, and asks for an increase
OF compensation TO $500 each. This
sum is considered as reasonable and
lust, and the finance committee have the
bin In their possession. BY way OF com
parison IL Is ascertained that in Boston
the three commissioners upon whom the
responsibility OF the issue Of
some eight hundred licenses Is con-
fcrred, receive salaries OF $500 each and
the clerk $500. The majority Of the pres
ent board in this city have had large ex-
perienco and the commission Is com
posed OF men OF sterling integrity OF
Character. They should receive adequate
compcnsation, and thereby the city + as
sured Of faithful and conscientious ser
vice.
