The government in it's campaign against land

Special to The Journal. o.
Iuverne, Mimi, March 23.-At the coming
annual, election to be held April ) the citizens
of Luverr1e will be. called upon to vote on the
question of the city paying salaries to the mayor
and the members of the common council.
Under the laws of 1905, in all cities In this
state having Il population not to exceed TO- coy
Inhabitants, the common council may, at a meet
ing prior to the annual city election, pass a
resolution fixing the annual salaries of the
mayor and members of the council at n sum Eot
10 exceed 500 per annum for each of said Of
fcers. The resolution must then be voted on
at the annual election and adopted or rejected by
the citizens at the polls.
At a special meeting of the common council
n resolution fixing. the salaries Of the mayor
and the me nbers of the council at 500 pei
annum, the maximum, sun. allowed by law, was
passed, and notice has been given according tt
law that the question will be submitted at tbs
polls. ...,
The matter has aroused considerable discussion
but the resolution will undoubtedly be adopted
AS q whole it is considered manifestly unfair
to ask the mayor and the members Of the coun
ell to devote the time required in carin:
for the affairs of the city without any compen
sation whatever. One hundred dollars a. yea
will not recompense them for the time they art
required to give. but 1t will be better thai
nothing, and among the more public-spirited citi
zens the resolution finds much favor.

Hereafter when a dead body is found

stances send for an ambulance for the

This general order was issued at Police

Heretofore the first duty of a cop upon

send for an ambulance surgeon TO have
the corpse officially pronounced e
I loaters that had been in the river for
six months were never dead to the cop
until an ambulance doctor said 50. No
matter what time Of day or night the floater
was fshed out Of the water the cop.
in compliance with the rules OF the depart
ment, had to send in an ambuls nee call to
the nearest hospital, making no mention
of the fact that the person was already
dead. It was up to the surgeon alone to
say officially that the person wa a corpse.
Cops have picked up the mangled remains
Of victims found under elevated and sub
way trains. but they could not report OFF,
cially to their precincts that the person
was dead until the surgeon viewed what
was left OF the deceased.
Not long ago a cop telephoned to his
sergeant that "A man had been run over and
killed by a subway train.
Hos the ambulance doctor been theTe?'
asked the sergeant.
mo" answered the cop: she hasn't come
yet"
ere you a surgeon yo~urself''
well. the man isn't killed dead until
the surgeon says so. Read your rules and

noon with President Truesdale in his office

turned over by Mr.. TrIesdale. and lasted

special conference. The men had seen
other officials than the president first and
had been referred to the president. After
the company had made its alternativ e
proposition the committee was again re-
ferred TO the other officials.
Chairman Clarke OF the committee said
last evening that he believed matters would
be adjusted satisfactorily.
The firemen on the Lackawanna system
