 The resignation of Patrolman Murphy was the cause of much dis cussion last night, and the question was asked why he saw fit to do this, as almost everybody thought that | the patrolmen were perfectly satis- fled with the amount of salary they were receiving and many were sur prlsed to learn that the total amouat of a patrolman's weekly pay was only $15.3s, and this called for seven days each week. It will be re- called that at one time the salary for this position was $900, and for req sons we'll known to many the salaries of all the police officers were re- duced. But conditions have changed and no one will deny that the regu- lar patrolmen are all good men, and l if 1t is only a question of few dol liars that stands between the retain ling of the men, the officials ought not be penny wise and pound foolish in this matter. but should fix the salary so that there will be satisfac- tion given to all concerned.
 The Salem school building has un- dergone many changes during the time that vacation was at hand. There has been extra ventilation put in each room and also a eofset made in each room and also closet made in ing the books that are used in that grade. Heretofore the books were kent in the rear of the teachers desk and the dust would settfe upon them and was as hard on the books as if they were used. These closets will keep the books free from dust and will not take up any space in the room. In addition to thls work every part of the interior of the building has been painted or vanished as the case may be. and one can get an idea of the amount of work done when it ia known that over two tons of white lead have been used thus far on the work. The colors blend nicely, the ceilings being painted in ivory white and the side wall of each school room being painted green. while the walls of the corridors are painted q deep cream. Over 1.200 feet of mould ing has been placed throughout the building and the general appearance is sure to meet with the approval of all citizens who happen to see if. The carpenter work Ia being done by Contractor John J. German and the painting is being done by a firm from New Haven
