Fire Department.
An ordinance to Increase the salaries
OF certain members of the Fire De-
partment was reported from tho
Finance Committee. A motion to re-
commit to the Finance Committee, no
one seeming to be sufficiently familiar
with tho provisions of the ordinance
to explain its provisions or to state the
total amount involved, was lost, tho
Council refusing to send 1t back to
committee.
Mr. Richards moved to make the in
crease apply to tho call men or run-:
ners, as well Us 1 to the station men.
The ordinance according to the prevail
ing hazy understanding of its proVi-
sions, provides for an increase of 10
per cent for all save the call men and
the chief. The Richards motion to
amend was lost.

mended by the Finance Committee, so
rs to make the salary Of the secretary

committed to the Finance Committee

union precipitated spirited opposition

Finance Committee, their recommends
ton would have been defeated. As !
was seventeen members voted nEains
the committee omlnendation and i
favor of the decorGNon, but twenty
four affirmative votes were required t
