first year, S660 for the second year, ana $T20 for each year thereafter. Hitherto a raw recruit has received just as much pay as a seasoned fireman and at that the salary was far from adequate. Under the present system, however, when a man receives the $720 salary, he will have undergone a three year course of training that will make him a veteran and experienced fire fighter. Sullivan Fought for Fircmens Alderman Sullivan chairman of the fire committee of the old council ap- peared before the salary committee yes- terday afternoon and made a determin- ed fight for the laddies. Insurance agents and business men in general rec commended the increased salary for Chief Browder.
 Perhaps no officer in the city admin istration had more enthusiastic endorse ments for raise of salary than did John J. Farley, chief clerk of the san itary department. To people who are familiar with the routine of the city building, it is we'll known that there is no harder or more conscientious work CT for even the strictest corporation, than, MT. Farley is for the city govern ment and he had endorsements from every source.
 Police Captain Taylor and Police Ser geant Harrison were other men. who had a large number of endorsements. Captain Taylor has been acting Chief of Police, during the long illness of Chief Gerald. He has been in the Re- corder's court as prosecuting officer practically every afternoon for year, making it necessary for him to rise at 2 o'clock and remain on duty until 6 o'clock each morning. When occasion requires he does without sleep. Under him the policemen have developed a healthy spirit of law enforcement and ha Ia xUifh hn ronk and file of his men.
 Sergeant Harrison, besides acting Day Sergeant, is the secretary of the police department. prepares all reports and attends to all the charity work done by the direction of the police de- partment.
 Roundsman P. J. Sweeney. who has served longer on the police force than any one member, also came in for his share of the good things. There Is no better known person in the State than the big Irish copper" and his increase in salary was due to his long and faithful service. He has served over eighteen years on the force.
