Salaries are Determined.

Then came the last important feature Of the session, the question of salaries for the superintendent of charities and the clerk of the board. On motion of Alderman Brophy the recommendations of the board of charities was taken from the table. A debate then arose and Aldermen Filling and Blakeslee fought the reduction of S1,500 to $1,9UO for the superintendent of charities, and said the position was worth the price recommended by the board of charities. The question as to whether Superill- tendent Doran should draw salary as selectman was brought up by Chair man Goss. The city attorney said that MT Doran would draw only such sal ary as selectman as the board of al- dermen would vote. He drew salary simply as member of the board and only for the making of electors. Al derman Brophy fought the amount Of $l,5OO and said it was enough for tle work Of the office. Alderman Murray moved an amendment that the salary be fixed at $1,200. This amendment was secosded by Alderman Stanley
 There was further debate on tLis amendment in which Alderman BlaEes lee defended the higher salary and Al ldermen Brophy, Murray and O'Brien fought against it. Each of tle latter claimed that the taxpayers in their district had been consulted and they did not approve of the salary of $1, 800
 There was a question as to whether the salary could be increased during his term of office if it was deemed necessary and the city attorney said there was d constitutional law against it. It was then put to vote and U Q amendment was carried, only two vot- 1 ing against it, Aldermen Blakeslee and Pagan
 The clerks salary was recommend- ed to be $1,200. Alderman Blakeslee moved that the recommendation be adopted. This was seconded by Alder man Brophy. who defended his action I by saying that the clerk did all the
 work of the office practically and he
 was entitled to as much pay as the superintendent. Alderman O'Brien amended the motion that the salary te S1,vUO. This was seconded by Alder man Stanley, and when put to vote was carried, Aldermen Blakeslee, Bro phy and Pagan voting against it. This ended the business of the session.

There were two very important meetings of the board of aldermen held last evening, one special meeting and the other a regular session. At each meeting all the aldermen were present with the exception of Alderman Ches- son. The special meeting was called to act on the recommendation of the board of finance relative to the appro- priation of S1O,OO0 for the purchase of new paraphernalia for the fire depart ment and for the issuance of two lots of bonds of $1OO,O0O each. One lot was the consolidated funding bonds and the other the storm water drainage bonds.
 The report of the board of finance showing available resources of $13,- 439.65, and recommending an apprcpri- ation of $10,000 was first acted upon. The report was first accepted and then Alderman O'Brien moved that the recommendation of the board Of finance be adopted. This required an aye and nay vote, and the vote was unanimous to make the appropriation.
 The issuance of the $100,000 consol- idated funding bonds was moved by Alderman Stanley, that the bonds be issued July 1 and that proposals for the purchase of the bonds be adver- tised by the clerk, and that the bids be opened on April ' at o'clock in the evening. This also required all aye and nay vote, and it was unani- nous and without any debate. The question of the storm water drainage bonds then came up and communica- ton was read from City Engineer Cairns bearing on the matter.

Amendment Engrossed.

Another recess was taken while this was being engrossed, having been voted by the board after Alderman Foley had asked if there was not q motion on the table that the mayor ap- point the building inspector That motion is still on the table, for no at. tention was paid to the matter.
 There was some discussion on this amendment after it was engrossed by the clerk. One point brought out was that it would not affect buildings now ill the course of construction. This was the opinion of Chairman Goss and City Attorney Kellogg. Alderman Mur- ray thought it should affect them, as some buildings now going up were not being built according to the amend ments offered. The ordinances as amended were passed by a unanimous vote

Building Lines Wanted.

Alderman Beach presented a resolu. ton asking for building lines on Pine street from Hillside avenue to Colum- bia boulevard. MT Murray suggested that building lines be ordered on all streets on which they are not laid, but President Goss said that such a thing was impossible as the law required that building lines should be laid in only such cases as 1t was possible to levy on properties enough to cover the expense. The original resolution was referred to the board of public works,
