made a motion that a committee OF three
or Ave members DO appointed to draft

Alderman Miller favored the plan sus-
gested by Alderman Thomas, and added
that he thought It would be well TO emf

be fixed by the term Of service, new met
starting at $50 per month dnd Advancing
s. per month each ycsr until the month
~ salary reached $50.
Alderman O'Lcary also suggested that
