The new schedule OF salaries for
city hall officials, to be acted on ty
the city council next Monday hight
VIII probably be adopted, with pos
sibly few comparatively unimportunt
changes
The committees report was the OBJ
Ject of much discussion at the city hall
today; and IL seemed TO be the almost
unanimous opinion that most OF the
proposed increases in salary we're
merited and iustifable though that
provided for the clerk of committees
was seriously questioned by some IA
miiiar with the various sources OF his
total income.
Councilman George w. Parks. alder
man elect, who is chairman of the spe-
cial committee having this matter in
hand, IL also chairman OF the finance
committees; and IL is urged that he
should be in position TO know what
the city can afford 20 do, and that
his recommendations should have
much weight with the city council,
The heads OF all the city departments
are in favor OF the new schedule.
\ current report that the new schedule
increasing the salaries $4,000. would re-
ouire another appropriation of that
amount, which the city could not afford
was pronounced Incorrect by Chairman
Parks.

STOLEN HORSE RECOVERED.

The horse and buggy stolen from H. E. Crismon. Sunday night. was found this morning about four miles in the country and restored to the owner.
 Mir Crismon who is the proprietor of the Fashion saloon. came down town Sunday evening and hitchcd his horse, which is a very valuable ami maj. in front of his place of business Later in the evening when he got ready to go home he found that some one had taken his rig without even . leaving their cards or stating in which direction they contemplated travelling
 As soon as it dawned upon that gen
 qeman that his property had been stolen, he immediately notified Mar shal Burton. and the two worked on the case all night. This morning the parties went to Phoenix. thinking that the parties, like every one else in Mesa
 would take in the fair. but it seems as though there is where theories didn't work. for hardly had Officer Burton reached the livery stable dis trict in the capital city when a gentle man drove in from the country and re- ported that he had seen the hors- hit"hed to tree on his way into town Ernest CTismon went out and ! brought the horse and buggy back to town. This is not the first time that pranks, or probably thieveries would be better, have been committed and it is the determination of the officers to in- ! tercept the perpetrators of Sunday nights act and make an example of them which will teach them in the fu- ture before taking anything to say. | May please and when through with | it to say.
