Twenty Per Cent. of Teachers Sal
aries Held Back Until End
of School Year.
BARTEL ENDORSES HUYETTE
HE APPROVES THE LATTER'S SMOKE
NUISANCE TALK.
Board of safety Issues an Order to
the Street-Car Company
Municipal Affairs.

Next Monday the teachers in the Indian
apolis public school will draw $42,275 from
the city treasury, and that won't be all
they will have coming to them, either. 1t
is, perhaps, not generally known that an
indianapolis teacher never draws full
salary each month. Twenty per cent. is
always held out until the end of the school
year.
The rule originated some time ago, when
the school Board was pretty badly en-
barrassed on account of a deficiency in the
school fund; and as a reserve for emer-
gencies the board ordered that a fund be
created by means Of monthly deductions
from salaries. AT the end Of the school
year, in June. however. the teachers re-
ceive the aggregate amount of the monthly
deductions, and it usually amounts to a
handsome sum. 1t is seldom that a teach
er objects to the plan, for the reason that
she is usually able to get along all right
with so per cent. of the monthly salary and
is glad to get a big lump sum at the end
of the ten months. The rule is observed
by agreement between the board and the
individual teachers. This month IS, 455 will
be subtracted by the auditor of the School
Board. 1t is estimated that the aggregate
amount of salary temporarily withheld,
which will be received by the teachers next
June, will amount to $S4,55G. With the ex-
ception of Superintendent Kendall, it is
stated every teacher in the employ of the
board must observe the rule.
The city controller will issue warrants
to the amount of about $46, 900 to pay the
December salaries of the greater number
of city employees and the quarterly salaries
Of the higher city officers. The pay roll is
larger than usual this month on account
of the quarterly salaries of the mayor, the
members of the City Board, the council
men and other officers being included in it.
All city officers and employees may go to
the controllers office and get their salary
warrants Monday morning in plenty of
time to purchase Christmas presents.

MR.. HUYETTE's IDEAS ENDORSED.
Building Inspector Bartel Thinks
Present Ordinance Too Rigid.

EFestht ordnance % htBiu
al was unable to hear MT. Huyette's talk
on the smoke question last evening" said
Building Inspector Bartel yesterday, but
/ read of his views in the Journal and 1
think he looks at the situation in the right
way. 1 am in hearty accord with most of
the things he said.
II agree with him that there is no such
a thing as a smoke consumer; that smoke
cannot be absolutely consumed. l think
he is right too, when he says that the
efficiency of a stoker is dependent largely
on whether the property owner hires a
fireman or coal shOveler, two very diff
ferent kinds of worker. as the employer
finds to his cost. He is right also, in my
opinion, when he says that many small
plants cannot afford 10 put In costly smoke
consumers because they will be able with
the use of fairly good fuel and the EN-
ployment or a fireman who knows his bust
ness. to obey the law"
Mr.. Bartel declared that he intends to
pay more attention TO the spirit of the
smoke ordinance than 10 its letter. He said
that there is little doubt that the provisions
of the ordinance are too rigid and allow
the inspector too little discretion in the
performance of his duty. He intimated that
Council might find it advisable TO modify
the ordinance in the same manner that
the Chicago aldermen are doing.
Mr.. Bartel believes that the city should
separate the department of smoke inspec-
ton from the building inspectors depart
ment. Under the present scheme OF things,
Mr.. Bartel says, the inspector cannot pay
the proper amount of attention 10 each part
of his important work and something has
TO be neglected. He finds that there is
plenty of work in either the department of
smoke inspection or in the inspection of
buildings 10 keep one man busy. Council
may be asked 10 act on the matter.
Other cities, he says. find the hard task
of keeping down smoke al that one man
can do; and he believes that much better
results would be obtained in Indianapolis
in enforcing laws against smoke if an of
hcer were enabled 10 devote his entire at
tention to that feature of work.

IRvINGToN ANNEXATION.
Certain Residents Claim "a Majority of
h People Favor IL.

If the number OF signatures to petitions
can be taken as indicative of annexation
sentiment in Irvington. il seems that the
citizens meeting held recently in the Town
Hall was not expressive Of the wishes Of
the residents OF the suburb. Sylvester John
son, who has taken a prominent part in ad-
vocating the annexation Of Irvington TO the
city. said last night that there Is no doubt
a great majority OF the people Of the sub
urb want 10 come into the city.

pay. Ia 1898, when the city administra-
ton was hard pressed for money, an order
was issued that each fireman should take
one day off each week without pay. The
order was in force from June / 10 Dec. i.
Taylor filed suit 10 recover the amount OF
the deduction. claiming that he was en-
ployed at a salary of SS21.5 a year, and
hat he was not consulted about taking "A
day of. The court held that if the order
was arbitrary Taylor could recover. prOvid-
ing he proved the allegations in the COM
plant. The suit is a test case, and If Tay-
Tor wins i'm the final hearing the way Will
be opened for other firemen who suffered a
similar deduction TO recover an amount
a~ggregating about 5000.

which he copied that part of Mr.. Hal
