SALARIES WILL BE CUT.
FINANCE Committee to Recommend Such
- Action Tuesday Night. -

FINANCE Committee to Recommend Such
Action Tuesday Night. -
The finance and advisory committees
OF Council have met. DISCUSSED the
question OF salaries TO be paid city OIL
Gals for she ensuing year, and will re-
port tho result OF their deliberations TO
Council at the meeting Tuesday night.
The meeting was secret one and the
members Of the committees refused to
talk on the subjecs yesterday, but it is
understood that they will recommend q
reduction OF the salaries of all officials
except where the charter provides
otherwise. The salaries OF the mayor,
auditor and police justice cannot be- re-
duced during the term Of office of the
present iDcum bents.
The committees voted to reduce the
city engineers salary from $4,000 to
81. 500 and that OF the commemorative
attorney from 5000 TO 5000. An effors
was also made TO have the office Of as-
sissant clerk OF the marke. abolished,
but this failed. II was then decided TO
elect an assistant clerk fer six months,
after which the position will be aboli-
ished. II is also probable that the off {.
COS OF city blacksmith and pound
master will be combined. 1t is the de-
sire OF the committees to make total
reduction OF about $1,000 per annum.
The question OF reducing the police
force WAS also considered, but it ia more
| than likely that such move will not
be attempted. IL is by no means GER
tain that this joint report will be
! adopted by Council Tuesday night. a
| TINES reporter talked to several OF the
mem bers yesterday afternoon and found
that there is strong feeling against re.
ducing the pay OF policemen. There is
also somo objection to cutting down the
com monwealth attorneys salary to such
"a low figure.

The council did not make the levy for

WhIch he proposed to him, it was not a
fact that the President had indicated his

he had talked With the President for two
hours on Friday last, and that while the

had encouraged him to go ahead, he had

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-The Western lines
have finally reached an agreement on the
immigrant commission question. and that
very troublesome obstacle has been re-
moved from the work of forming the
association to cover Western and trans
continental passenger business.
The agreement, which goes into effect
January Goth, provides that all roads shall
pay commission OF 10 per cent. on each
ticket. The Canadian Pacific has signed
the agreement and every road is in it
with the exception of the Grand Trunk.
1t Is not believed, however, that any ac-
ton taken by the Grand Trunk can upset
the agreement.

adjourned after a short session, and the

those who interfered during the railroad
