were received, and those of the city
treasurer and justice referred to the
committee on ways and means.
The committee on salaries, which has
been endeavoring for some time to adjust
the salaries of the city officers to meet
the financial condition of the city, made
another report, in which they suggested
that the salaries of the city officers be
fixed on the general fund, as follows:
Chief Of Police .............. 500 90
Custodian Engine House ....... IS 90
Clerk 6O w
70 understand this report, it is neces-
sary to state that in the past year, the
salaries have been paid on a cash fund,
which is now exhausted. No warrants
can be issued on the general fund, and
the officers would receive certificates Of
Indebtedness for the several amounts,
upon which only about half their face
value could be realized. The arrange
ment suggested by the salary committee
is but a temporary one, and they pro-
posed to pay the salaries in cash again,
as soon as the funds become available.
The report Of the salary committee
was received, and an amendment sug-
gested, that the officers be paid in certi-
f~cates, amounts upon which they can
realize the following SUM in cash:
Chief OF Police ...............S 60 90
Custodian Engine House $500. so 90

This amendment was carried, and the
salaries will be paid according to this
arrangement.

mended the adoption of the same license
