prnnnSed Increase OF Salirlea

The proposition of Mr.. Morrow
to increase certain salaries paid
bv the Board OF Education, strikes
the ma Iority OF taxpayers as very
inopportune, particularly as the
amounts paid for the service rem
dered are rather liberal compared
with the earnings ofthe great mass
of taxpayers. When every depart
ment in our city is 10 need of money
and property selling tot a little
over halt what 1t is really worth, is
no time to talk of increasing sal
aries. These who do it will not
add TO their popularity or commend
themselves TO the citizens as being
expert tinanciers. II the salaries
paid were illiberal it would be an
other matter. The,taXpayers should
be consulted and then the members
of the Board should learn some
thing about the necessity Of econo-
mizing until the present inde bted-
ness can be paid off. The desire
for big salaries may be natural,
but it is notwse to rob Peter to
paw Paul.

VIII Not Pay the Judge

According to present indications
City Council will not pay the salary
Of Philip Q. Churchman, the Judge of
the Municipal Court, until the con-
test of L. X. Cochran, Jr.. for the
place is settled. 1t was supposed
that Council would pay Judge Church
man as soon as the Superior Court
gave its decision but the miscellaneous
pay roll passed on Thursday night is
smaller than usual and the reason is,
according to common report that
Judge Churchman was left over
The reason given by city officials
for refusing to pay the salary OF the
Judge Is that Council will not know
who to pay until the case is finally
disposed of and should the decision
be favorable to Cochran and Church.
man had been paid then Council
would be compelled to pay Cochran
