the board thought, was to much. He
has been getting 5000 per year. Sew
eral members expressed themselves as
not thinking Mr.. Pickett the right nan
for superintendent Of streets and that
they were willing to pay a higher sal
airy to a man who was competent. Mr..
Wilder made a motion to reduce his
salary to 500 per year and it was sec
onded by Mr.. Brady. When put to a
vote it was a tie, Messrs. Wilder and
Brady voting for making the salary
$500 and MeSsrs. Yates and McNair
against the motion. Chairman Nc
Queen voted against the motion.
While discussing the matter it was
said hal there had been some talk of
getting a civil engineer for superin-
tendent of streets.
1t is usual to make an appropriation
of $3.50 for extra help in the city
clerk and ~treasurer's Office and this
appropriation was made as. usual
Last year the amount was increased
considerably, but Chairman Mcqueen
said he was one who would not favor
increasing the amount one cent for the
present fiscal year.
No material changes were made in
the fire department, the salaries o;
the higher officials remaining the same
as last year. Salary of the foremen
and engineers will be S55 instead OF
$3.50, the salary named TO include
uniforms. Foremen are to receive s4S
instead of s45, which includes So per
month for uniforms.
This ended the business as far as
the budget was concerned. The mat
ter Of permanent street Improvements
will remain the same as named several
days ago, $4,000.
Before the board adjourned Chair
man Mcqueen said he had ii matter
he desired to bring before the board.
1t was in regard o the paving of
Chestnut street from Front TO Water
street. n his connection a resolu-
ton passed by the last board Of alder
men was read in which they made IN
appropriation 10 pave the street, the
board of audit and finance ~concurring.
Mr.. Mcqueen said he was opposed to
having any more streets paved on The
plan hat Fourth street was paved ON.
Under the present law, he said, il was
provided that the difference between
the cost Of macadam and brick should
be paid by the property owner. On
Fourth street, he said, the cost Of the
maoadam was figured about 80 cents
a square more than it really was 90 as
TO make the difference less. He pro-
duced a statement from City Clerk and
Treasurer Fowler which showed that
at the present time there is S2,175 due
by property owners ON the street. On
the list he stated were about 10 prop
erty owner and when they were ap-
preached for the money their excuse
was that they did not have the money.
At this point Mr.. Wilder wanted TO
know If it was fair and just to make
one man pay and let another escape
because he put up the excuse of not
having the money. He thought the
money should be collected and said il
he were mayor and the money was
MOI paid he would have the people
brought down and know why it could
not be collected.
Chairman Mcqueen said in the fu-
ture he thought he would disregard
the law as il now stands and would be
against any appropriation for perma-
nent street work unless the property
owners pay half of the cost and pay
1T in advance. Fourth street he cited
