Mayors be Given Salaries.

Mayors be Given Salaries.
The executive committee of the
League of Wisconsin Municipalities,
of which City Attorney John G. Slater
of this city, is one of the leading mem
bers, is making arrangements to ask
the coming Legislature to pass bill
providing that the mayors of all cities
in Wisconsin of the second and third
class shall receive salaries for their
1abors. For some time the greater
number of these cities have been pay
ing the mayor only nominal salary,
and the bill will provide that these
chief executives be paid from $500 to
81, 900 year. The bill will also give
the cities of these classes the right to
set salaries for aldermen.
The schedules of salaries to be
paid when the bill is passed provides
that each alderman shall receive com
pensation for the actual time which
he gives for his work to the city.

the architectural beauty of the building,
as we'll as to proclaim to the world That
1t is not flrenroof when, indeed, 1t is.
The letter is a stirring appeal to the

says she has built her house at great
cost to herself; has named 1t in honor
OF the city, and that naturally she de-
sires to keep it "a thing OF beauty and
a joy forever"
The petition was not acted upon, but
was referred TO tho Ward Committee, and
City Engineer for report later on.
