senator Davis .rgcs m increase foI
Wagon Drivers.

Senator Davis has urged the Committee
on Appropriations to incorporate in the
District Appropriation bill an amendment
providing fer an increase in the salary of
members of the police patrol wagon
drivers of this city. The salary of these
men is at present only $40 a month. and
the Senator argued that the character of
the duty performed entities them to be
paid a sum more nearly equal TO that
received by the regular members of the
police force. He spoke of the good record
of the drivers. and asked that the sub
1ect of their work and salaries be inyesti-
gated with a view to the increase of the
latter 1t is probable that the interest
shown by Senator Davis in the matter
