Meet This Evening.

sayy Celsbration-The Inquest.

This evening the respective branches Of
the City Council will convene at the City
Hall. This particular session Of the city
solops 10 looked upon with no little In
terest by many people, who arc curious
to 500 In what manner tho city fathers
will try to avert the impending disagree.
ment between the two bodies which con-
stitute tho City Council OF Central Falls
regarding the salary bill.
The report of the joint committee on
finance, to whom the bill was referred
may have something to do with the matter.
Then again, II may not. The members OF
the Common Council think that 81 300 per
annum Is sufficient remuneration for
the services of the city engineer, but the
Board OF Aldermen don't see II In that
light. They think that 81 800 is no more
than an equitable bum for the labors that
individual will be required to perform.
1t Is the opinion OF tthe Board OF Alder
men that 500 per 'annum Is the proper
amount to pay the city physician, while
the mem bers of the Common Council
think $3.50 Is sufficient. The difference OF
opinion between the two bodies In regard
to the salaries city officials should re-
ceive has caused one deadlock between
the two branches Of tho City Cou neil, and
from the aspect OF things 1t is probable IL
there Is another one It won't be settled by
each board coEceding $25.
The Common Council who think the
smaller salaries are sufficient and that In
the interests OF economy no more should
be paid than Is absolutely necessary Will
not be likely to consent to raising the
city engineers salary $500 above the
original figures, while on the other hand
the Board of Aldermen take tho ground
that the services rendered will be proper
tional In value to the amount paid for
them, and that any curtailment Of the
amount will not be conducive to the best
interests,of the municipality. Therefore
they want to pay larger salaries In the
hope OF getting better service.
In anticipation of any report the com.
mittee on education may make or any &C.
tion that committee may see fit to take,
one would like to suggest that it is better
to pay the lower salaries approved by the
Common Council than to do anything up-
der the guise OF economy which will i'm
pair the efficiency OF the public schools.
