SALARIES
OF OFFICIALS
May be Raised During Com
ing Year
PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD
Members Scheduled For a
Handsome Increase.
They Could Then Devote Their En-
tire Time to Performing Their
Numerous Official Duties.

1t is probable that next year will
witness a wholesale raise IN salaries
among the city officials. IN the an
nual city tax levy, which will prob
ably be decided upon at the next
meeting Of the council, It is expected
that provisions will be made for
boosting the salaries Of the mayor,
the city treasurer, and service board
members. There is also a possibil-
ity that the salaries of the firemen
will be increased in 1908, but this is
not as close to being a certainty as
Is the proposed increase in the com
pensation of the officials mentioned.
The largest increase will go to the
board of public service members, If
the sentiment which now prevails is
still existing next year. Members Of
the present council think that the
men on the service board should re-
lceive salaries sufficiently large to en-
able them to give their time to their
official duties. Under the present ar
rangement, a member of the board
gets only 5000 a year. and while the
three members give all the attention
they possibly can to their work, they
find 1t impossible to devote all the
time which is really necessary.
81 am in favor of raising the SER
vice board salaries so that the mem
bers can give all of their time to the
city is a statement made at a recent
injecting by DR.. ]. G.. Setter, of the
council. THE way It is now, mem
bers of the council do work which by
right should fall to the board Of
public service.
Although the council has come to
no definite conclusion, II Is likely that
the tax levy will be arranged, so that
each member of the service board
will receive 81 1000 year, beginning
with 1908. Under the provisions of
the state law, no increases can be
granted until the beginning of next
year.
The salary of the mayor will prob
ably be raised from 81 900 to $1,000
a year, and of the city treasurer from
800 year to $40 or $50 month.
Under the present arrangement the
treasurer makes up for his lack of
compensation by letting certain banks
use the city's funds. In case he
should be given an increase in sal
ary, he would be required to let the
funds out through competitive bid
ding from the various banks. and
allow the interest to remain in the
Treasury.
Several members vi the council
have been In favor of making pro-
vision in the tax levy for appointing
a building inspector, but II is not
likely that anything will be done to-
ward that end. II is thought that the
majoriiy of the councilmen believe
that such an office would be imprac-
lthal.
While these proposed increases in
SALARY seemingly would call for an in
crease in the tax levy. the increase
If there is any, will be very slight
and the members of council believe
that the benefit the city would derive
would more than make up for the
extra expenditure.
1t Is expected that action on the
tax levy will be taken at a meeting
of the council to be held next Mon

said that Judd is about seven feet

Mrs. McCrery Is little woman who
would weigh about one fifth as much
as her husband. The couple has a
