THE COMMISSIONER REDUCED,

THE COMMISSIONER REDUCED,
After the reading Of these statements.
the committee began the consideration
OF the City Treasurer's office. Mr..
Rountree stated that it was his opinion
that. in view Of the great responsibility
Of this officer, his salary was not too
large. Mr. EbePs views coincided with
those OF Mr.. Rountree. and he moved
that the salary of the City Treasurer
be allowed to remain as it is at present.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
No action was taken upon the salary
Of the Treasurers clerk. which is 800 a
year.
AT this juncture. the committee took
up the Department of the Commissioner
OF the Revenue. and Mr.. Jones stated
that he understood that there were
other fees than those reported i'm con-
nection with the report of the Commits
sioner of the Revenue, attaching to that
office. and that these fees were rather
difficult TO ascertain, although they
would considerably increase the COM
pensation OF the Commissioner of the
Revenue.
Mr. Harrelson here explained that a
great many people paid their taxes I'm
sioner of the Revenue received 81 instead
OF 80 cents.
Mr.. Jones, after discussing thi. mat.
ter briefly. moved that the compensation
of the Commissioner of the Revenue be
reduced by one half.
Mr.. Noble raised the point that the
State and city positions should not be
considered Jointly but that the com
mittee should only regard the sum the
Commissioner received from the city
Messrs. Rountree and Ebel disagreed
with the MarshallWard member as to
this matter. Mr.. Harrelson moved 10
amend the motion of Mr. Jones by
making the compensation OF the Com
missioner three-eighths Of per cent. In
stead OF fve-elghths. the sum he now re-
ceiyes. This motion prevailed This re
duction will bring the pay % the Com
