$125 per month. For more than one

of the list, pending an agreement of the
councilmen. Toward the latter part OF
the afternoon the question was again
brought up and the chief carpenter was
given $120 salary per month.
Creates New Position
Through a message from the mayor
the office of secretary to the board of

salary of $3.50 per month. The motion
to that effect was carried unanimously.

lice commissioners the captain of the
chain gang was given a salary of $3.50.

were raised from $3.50 to $200 per month.
When the motion for the raise of the

Of $40 each per month.
Fire Chief Gets Increase
Serious objection over the suggestion
that the chief of police be allowed $3.50
per month extra for the paying of pa
trolmen who are taken off beats and
detailed on detective duty for short
| times. Dock Houghton raised the prin-
cipal objections and it resulted in the
denial of the motion. Houghton de-
clared that 1t didn't look good" to
him.

department was on special motion
given an increase of $25 per month in
salary, making the total $3.50 in the
future.

JUDGES RETIREMENT
TO END BITTER FIGHT
Jurist Noyes CT Riverside
Gives Up Struggle for
Reelection.

RIVERSIDE, March 31.-Realizing the
hopelessness of his aspirations to sue
ceed himself as Superior Judge of this
county and knowing that all the leaders
of the bar and most of the prominent
business men of this and other cities of
this county are opposed to him, ]. S..
Moves has announced his retirement from
the race and from politics. He says he
has formed a partnership with two at
torneys in Los Angeles and will practice
his profession there. He further declares
that he will resign before the expiration
of his term and probably will leave the
city. This leaves the field open to Frank
A. Densmore to secure the Republican
nomination for Superior Judge. which is
tantamount to election 1t is believed
Densmore will be appointed to fill the un-
expired term if Moves resigns.
Thus ends what otherwise would have
been bitter political and personal tight,
sequel to the "Tom" Hays scandal
which followed the wreckfng of the de-
funct Orange Growers National Bank by
Hays. Noyes was and is a Hays parti-
san and throughout the disgrace which
Hays brought upon himself Moves Sc
cretly stood by the man who had made
his last election possible.
