WANTS MORE PAY FOR POLICE HEADS
Competent Men Cannot Be Obtained at Pres
ent Salaries, Says City Club

The City Club put itself on record yesterday
as favoring an increase in the salaries of the
Commissioner of Police and his deputies.
George McAneny. chairman of the committee
on police administration. addressed a letter to
Mayor Mcclellan yesterday, outlining the false
economy" of expecting to attract high grade
men to the Police Commissionership at $500
a year.
While the club declares it almost impossible
TO get high grade for such serious po-
sition at such a salary, it in no way reflects on
the administration of Commissioner McAdoo
Says the letter:
1t would however. be effective in the event
either of a new appointment the formal in
dorsement of the present Commissioner.
This sentence follows a declaration by the
club that the Board of Estimate has the power
to fix these salaries and that now. at the be-
ginning of a second term, is the proper time to
act.
The present deputies are paid $1,000 a year
and the City Club argues that. since the third
deputy should he a thoroughly trained lawyer
a properly equipped one cannot be found will
ing 10 give up his private practice for $4,000 a
year.
Fne club holes that, while bin fixing the
salary of the head Of the commission at $1,000
and tbs deputies at $780, was not passed

Magistrate Charles G. F. Wahle was elected vice
chairman. The report around the Hall was that
Jimmie Martin was TO be elected chairman,
but his name has been mentioned for Police Com
missioner and the fact that he was not mentioned
as the head of the executive committee. gave the
braves courage at least to guess again that the
breach between the Mayor and Leader Murphy had
not wfdened as far they thought it had.
Charles F. Murphy was at the meeting of the old
executive committee, which met to name the Off
GERS to preside the meeting of the general COM
mittee and he was again present when the new
executive committee met to organize for the year
1906. but he did not appear in the meeting OF the
big committee in the upper room
Magistrate Wahle called the meeting OF the gen
eraI committee to order. and he named for tenn
porary officers John T. Oakley as president and
Thomas F. Smith secretary. They were unan-

METZ FOR BIG SALARIES.
Says Men Handling Millions Should
Get Good Pay.

guest of honor at complimentary dinner given
last night at the Hotel Cadillac by the Business
Mems and Commercial Travellers League. Cow

Mr.. Eastmond, discussing political affairs, said
in part:
In our city the people. singing out an
individual who they thought had served them
faithfully and we'll in the office of District At
torney, said to him in spite of the political
bosses and political organizations: I'VE will
entrust you with the same Office for another
term" We believe that Herman A. Metz as
Controller will be true to Democratic prD-
cipes and the interests of the people as Gov
ernor Folk of Missouri and Mr. Jerome mere
c. V. Fornes, president of the Board of Alder
men, said that he was glad to know that one Of
the prominent business of the city was
going to fill the city's most prominent business

of Aldermen with the reputation of President
Fornes for honesty and fair dealing 1 shall be
very proud indeed. We all have bosses, but the
only boss we fear is the great public OF New
York.
feel that Brooklyn has given us in the past
excellent Controllers and none better than the
man who leaves Office in few days, Edward
M Grout. I believe that at the end or ms term
the people of this city will say they never had
a better Controller than Herman A Metz
Controller-elect Metz said in part:
Speaking of salaries think It is an outrage that
a man who is required in his official duties to
handle millions and millions of dollars should be
paid a small salary They ought to be given decent
salaries. and then there would not be much tax
about graft" Poor salaries cause grating.
Talking about district leaders, the sQuarest and
cleanest deal I got during the last campaign was
from the district leaders.
Jeron1e's election shows that the people have got
past voting the straight ticket Now they vote Tor
men, and they are breaking away from parties
That is evolution. Thew want to vote for Indl-
viduals and parties, and not because they see
star or a chicken on the ticket
lawson Purdy, chairman of the Mayors com
mittee on taxes and finance, said in part:
From nv examination. I have found that the
city is carrying an asset of S6S,0W01e on uncol-
Iecfed taxes of which about $3S,O0O,0OO mostly IN
personal taxes, is absolutely Uncollectble Inc
CITY is running behind because 1t is unable 10 col
iect these taxes, about So 100000 yearly believe
that this is the most serious financial problem
confronting the city.
in his message to the Board of Aldermen eighteen
years ago said the abolition of the personal tax
would attract 10 this city the wealth OF the world
He said there was a big increase in taxes be-
cause of the inability of the city 10 collect the per
sonaI tax. Mr. Purdy strongly advocated the re-
peal Of the Mortgage Tax law.
