The question OF the salaries of collec-
tor tor Lahaina and Hama caused quite
discussion as to whether the low
5alary reported upon by the committee,
S25 a month, was sufficient to get good
men TO serve. 1t was stated by the
Minister Of Finance that there was no,
enough work TO keep one man employ
I'd merely on that work, and therefore
Nc was the usual custom TO employ q
man who had other sources Of income
| rhe discussion provoked considerable
comment upon low salaries in general
| senberg moved that the report OF the
L Minister of Finance be adopted. Coop
or also recommended that amount W

I committees report, allowing the col
.ector at Lahaina $50 per month. tota
of 5000.

The committee recommended tina

sistant harbor master, and 800 to tn
second assistant. Mr.. Damon recon-
r mended that the amount as recon-
e mended in the bill be passed.
= kennedy: Il think we need a secon
q assistant harbor master, because
: The wharves are crowded from one en-
/. Of the waterfront to the other and
e - a disgrace to the town"
l. Damon: II don't think that is tru
f and my words cannot be denied. Sine
o been kept clean"

i appropriation for $4,000.

: reconsidered.

q the committee as to the amount an
also division of salaries be adopted
n the Council.
u Damon: II should like to have tn
e item left to the discretion OF the Mi
" ister of Finance If l am to be at q
o mead of my department | want to ha'
e good men and l think l can sele
d them"
IL Jones: 1--WE have already pass
, items in the postoffice bureau for fix
"a salaries and think We ought to do q
y same thing here. II seems to me q
I, harbor master ought to be relieved
y some of his duties. He Is working q
= most every night and he don't 6
home until 9 o'clock. He is out at
i Io'clock in the morning and be doesI
y have Sunday to himself. | don't belle
ID in jewing a man away down to I
sr lowest point"

1t mittee's report for $4,000 providing
the first assistant harbor master
lie $3.50 and the second assistant at II
re per month. The motion carried.
st Line 81. salary of inspector, Chine
