WILL DISCUSS
TAX MATTERS
Citizens of Alameda Are
Invited to Tell What
the City Seems to Need
SCHOOL FUNDS ARE LOW
Police Department Wants
Salaries Increased and
Fire Equipment Required

ALAMEDA, Aug. 21-The Alameda
Advancement Association is going TO
discuss the matter of municipal taxa
tion at its meeting tomorrow even
ing. and those Interested in the work
OF the different departments of the city
government have been invited TO at
tend and express their views.
There have been several suggestions
made recently that involve the increas-
ing Of the expense of the city govern
ment. The police patrolmen want their
pay increased from $50 to $50 month,
and there have been demands made for
the increase of the salaries of different
officials connected with the municipal
electric lighting department AS the
business of the town has grown there
have been a few increases in the salar-
les Of some Of the department heads,
but now the town is confronted with a
general demand for more money all
down the line. Since the fire at the
West End last week there has been
( a demand for more fire apparatus, and
the ladies of the AdeIphian Club have
undertaken the task of securing a
larger appropriation for the schools Of
the city.
As the City Council will have to set
best for the city. and as the Alameda
Advancement Association has the best
interests Of the city at heart, it was
natural that they should call a meet
ing 10 discuss the various points at
issue.
The School Department has been
alive to the situation and ii has ap-
pointed an official committee that will
appear al the meeting tomorrow even
ing to tell what the School Department
needs. This committee is composed of
Frederick T. Moore. superintendent Of
Schools; George Thompson, principal Of
the Alameda High School. and Frank
Otis and Henry Michaels of the Ala
media Board Of Education. The demand
Of the School Department was cut last
year, and 1t wants more money for re-
pairs.
The Police and Fire departments
want more money for salaries and
equipment, and they also will be rep
resented at the meeting that promises
to be one Of the most important that
has been held in Alameda for a long
time
