COUNCIL HAS
SPIRITED SESSION
Trouble Arose Over Proposed
Increase of City En-
gineeis' Salaries

The committee meeting Of City Coun-
Gil last night proved to be of an excit-
ing nature. and several matters of inn
portance were considered. The ques-
tion of increasing the salaries Of city
engineers and the registry clerk
brought about discussion in which
most of the members participated and
at times the loud voices could dis
tinctly be heard outside of the mayors
room, where the private meetings are
held. Some of the councilmen favored
granting the engineers an increase, but
not the rodmen. Others stuck out for
giving the latter an advance in pay, to-
gether with the engineers. The argu-
ment became so heated that an ad-
iournment was made until some time
in the near future.
An additional bill of $17S was allow
ed Dr. Jas. H. Morgan for services rem
dered as a city physician. Some time
ago the doctor presented a bill of S446,
which was cut down to S246, and then
ordered paid. The last bill presented
is not a part of the above account. but
for services given after the other bill
was presented.

was discussed and it will probably be-
come necessary to make an extraordi-
nary appropriation for the mainte-
nance of the garbage burner for the
balance Of the fiscal year ending in
June. There is but $65 to the credit Of
the crematory.
At the beginning of the present fiscal
year the amount of $1,000 was fixed to
MAINTAIN the garbage plant for one
year, but a number of repairs had TO be
made and other numerous expenses
which had been unlocked for and then
cut down the appropriation.

IDEALS OF WOMANHOOD

Edward Howard Griggs, in a recent

"The new ideal is the largest pos
ible freedom for woman. Now. I do
lot mean that she is to rush in and do
lll the things that men are doing, but
hat it is believed that every arbitrary
restriction and artificial limitation
must be removed. If, then, she takes
up what she finds she cannot do. she
will leearn her Limitation in that di-

'It is a misfortune-it is an evil
that nine out of ten of our teachers are
women. Not because they are not good
teachers-for they are-but our chill
dren need the masculine influence just
as much as they need the feminine in
fiuence. They need to associate with
both men and women in getting their
education. The qualities of each are
necessary to the proper rounding OF
their character The question is, why
do we get we'll trained and gifted
women for our schools and not am
equal number of equally well-trained
men? And the answer is that the
former come for less money. So there
will be no change in this situation un-
til there is equal pay for equal service.
