Does Brunswick need a hsrbor mas
teri
That Is the question which has been
puzzling the minds Of number Of
people in this city for some time,
If she does should he not be paid a
living salary
That is the question we would like to
have answered and we presume it IS
Of some interest to the present harbor
master.
The present city council has been
toying with this question for six weeks
and at its last meeting decided to re-
duce the pay Of the Office from SIS to
s25 per month. IN other words II did
not thing Brunswick needed harbor
master and seems to have taken this
course of abolishing the Office or COM
prising the matter with the gentleman
who has been holding the position.
We are frank to say that the expen-
diture o. $z5 month for the last three
years for the services Of harbor mas
ter has not met our approval, at the
same time, we think the council should
have come out In the open and abolish
ed the once rather than have reduced
the salary to such ludicrously low
figure that no man, with the requisite
amount Of ability could afford to- ac-
ccpt it. = z
