 Several times within the year it has
 been suggested to the recorder that he really earned more money than he was
 getting It had even been intimated to
 Judge Thomas that the council would
 be glad to make the change, but he has
 always refused to consider such q
 proposition He stated last night that
 it was done without his consent, and
 that he did not approve of it. A mem
 Der of the council said in regard to it
 that the city has recently increased
 in size by the annexation of three ad-
 ditions and that the work of the re- corder's office had increased in pro
 portion. It was considered due Judge
 Thomas on account of the extra work and his thorough competehcy in the
 management of his office.
 A number of plumbers were present
 at the meeting, but there was no re-
 sumption of the discussion of the night
 before. The features of the amend rnent to the plumbing ordinance are definitions of the terms "soil' and waste" pipes and stipulatiOns in re-
 gard to the sizes of such pipes.
