Hon. Board of Finance:-
Gentlemen.-Your Committee on Concur
rent Resolutions, to whom was referred
resolutions adopted by the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners request
ing the concurrence u your bOdTu III IIG
fixing of salaries to be paid appointees
in the Water Department, respectfully
report said resolutions back to your
all cases where the appointees replace
former employees at the same compensa-
ton the resolutions be concurred in, pro-
AS your Board is aware, you committee
d iae the the Street and Water Board since
early In the present fiscal year to reduce
in cuaru waN the pYDpnSpS nf the Water
Department, especially in the matter of
employees at Belleville and High Service,
at which stations It is and has been the
force should be decreased on account Of
the lack of necessity for It's continuance
to the extent ten a at which a. it . was vas, maintained ed
supply of water by the East Jersey Water
Company under the terms of it's contract
the necessity Of maintaining a limited
force so that in ease an emergency
should arise the public interest would be
fully conserved but nevertheless believes
that the present force may be decreased
with perfect safety. The position of your
committee WAS in brief that 1t would con-
cur IN resolutions passed BY the Street
the new appointees of that Board in those
cases where said appointees replaced for
mer employees lately dismissed. and at the
compensation previously paid except at
BelleviIle and High Service, where your

reduction can Safely. be MADE IN the num-
Der of persons employed. Your commit
tee finds that the resolutions before it
provide for the fixing of compensation of
a number Of appointees in excess of that
previously employed in the same capaci-
ties, and it submits to your Board that it
is not within the province of your com
mittee or of the Board to discriminate as
to which of the names contained In the
resolutions before 1t should receive the
concurrence Of this Board, and which
should be non-concurred in, in line with
the position Indicated by this committee.
Your committee would recommend to
your Board that these resolutions be re-
turned by the Clerk q. the Board to the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers with the request that q statement be
the same so that this Board may be able
to determine which Of the appointments
replace former employees and which are
additional appointments and increases in
the number or employees.
