The Board of Aldermen at a
special session last night decided to
put the question of paying the mem
bers of the council salaries not to
exceed $500 before the voters at the
coming election. An act of the legis-
lature provides that the aldermen
may be paid salaries not to exceed
$500 If the majority of the voters at
a general election SO decide.
Alderman Cannon, whose term ex-
pires this year, submitted the reso-
luton and made few remarks on
the subject He said that he thought
the aldermen hereafter should be
compensated for their services in
view of the fact that the duties took
considerable of mans time from
his business. He said he was in
favor of $500, which, while it would
not entirely compensate a man,
would help some.
Alderman Schultz, whose term
also expires this year, refused to vote
for the resolution, as he said $500
was not enough. He said an alder
man should be paid $500 at least,
but later changed his vote in favor
of $500, SO that the adoption of the
resolution could be unanimous.
The Resolution Passed.
The resolution in full was as fol-
lows:
Whereas, an act of the legisla-
ture entitled An act relative to the
