| oheFiff Jarrett prepared his payroll
! Tor submission to the Board of Super
! Vlsors, through the. police committee
! and It was supposed that they woult
| be presented yesterday afternoon. bu
the committee has decided that the nav
roll needs pruning as to the amount;
set opposite some of the names of of
heers and have drawn up a schedule Of
tnelr own ln other words they prefe,
to save about $3.50.
1t IS understood that the Snnervisors
OBJECT to the new pay scale as adopted
ny oherin Jarrett, which is far and
ABOVE that OF former administrations
For instance each of the captains on
the oherlH S payroll is to receive $40
| per month, and each sergeant 800. an
| Increase OF about SO Is per cent. Can,
eaihs tof Heutenants, as they were de-
slghated under Sheriff Iaukea1. former.
| received $50 per month. and ser.
| geants $50. In the case of cantains
! Iney are to receive S35 more Der. month
| imam formerly, and the sergeanfs $50
| additional. 1t is said that the nav of
| receiving clerks has been reduced from
the old scale, although their work is
OF extreme Importance.
Sheriff jarrett said Yesterday. sT
nave advanced the pay of the eantains
and sergeants, to use up the nonev
saved by cutting out the senior can
cam Of police. In former times the
captains or lieutenants of watches "a
ported to the senior captain of Doliee
whenever anything came I'D thew did
not feel disposed to handle. Now
each captain is responsible for what
goes on IN his watch. Therefore. [ |
have felt that he ought to get more
pay
1t is argued that the responsibilities
OF any watch officers go Just SO far. |
when such officers, even if there is not |
a senior captain of police as before, |
will pass the buck up to the DENNY /
Sheriff or the Sheriff. 1t is under /
stood that the Deputy Sheriff has now
more or less direct supervision over the /
foot and mounted police. practically |
taking the place of a captain of noliee
1t is also known that the former senior
captain of police was removed because 1
he was not wanted bv the Jarrett aa- I
mInistration. Without a competent Il
man to fill the place, the Sheriff de- Il
cided to allot the salary to the various Il
officers, and by pruning in one or two
other places provide for the new sehed- II
uie. Inc pay OF precinct officers in
large cities is seldom over 800.
However. the Supervisors had pre-
pared their list. which was consider
ably like the Iaukea payrolls as to
salaries. One Supervisor said that
other departments were being pruned,
and the police payroll would have to
show saving also. II

suai one, and after hearing the testi.
