meetiuR OF Council the drivers of the
frs apparatus, excepting Mr.. Clapdore,
wer given No increase 10 their wages
OF s. month and the engineers of
Tire fire department $3.50 q month. The
matter OF increasing the wages OF the
meo OF the fire department came up
before the finance committee about two
weeks ago, when petition. endorsed by
the Board OF Fire Wardeps. was pre-
sented ssking an increase OF 50 month
10 he wages OF ,ll the paid men 10 the
department, but the committee decided
to recommend TO Council an increase OF
s. TOR drivers and 81 90 for engineers.
Mr.. Clspdore, for some reason, was
not mentioned 10 connection with the
Increase when the matter came up be
fore COuncil, although it is said it was
the intention of q majority OF the mem
bers OF that body to raise his salary.
During the past few days 1t has been
reported on the street that Chief Pe,tey
had recommended to the finance CON-
mittee the reduction in the amount
of the increase asked by the
employees, and also that Mr.. Clap
dore's wages be not increased
o. all. Chief Petty, In talking to q
Gazette reporter, positively denied hsv.
ing done anything of the sort, He
stated that be had appeared before the
finance committee, upon invitation OF
Capt. Bryan, and was asked bis opinion
regarding the petition. and that be had
stated that in his judgment and the
drivers should receive So the eDgi-
neers SO additional a month, but shat
the committee tor reasons bes, known
to themselves bad decided otherwise.
