CAN'T HOLD TWO JOBS.
Water Board Employees Must Devote
Whole lime TO Work.


Hereafter employees OF the water
board will have TO be content with
one salary. BY a resolution presented
by Commissioner Pound In the board
meeting. Wednesday afternoon, and
adopted unanimously, all employees OF
the board. except the engineers stan,
are notified that their doing any out
side work will be taken as equivalent
to a resignation.
Pound had discovered that one or
the board watchmen is a painter and
decorator with big force OF men
working for him at certain seasons OF
the year. He is Democrat. but that
fact did not alter Pounds views.
Increases in salary OF $40 month
were given to these men: John Healy,
foreman; p. Coffey and j. Suck, caulk-
ers; ]. Collins, grader; l. Clancy and
c. Green, storage yard clerks. Pound
opposed these increases, but was out
voted.
The board gave the contract for
furnishing 10000 tons of coal 10 Peter
Koenig. His bid was not the lowest
on the basis OF price per ton, but was
figured lowest on efficiency tests.
