RAISE SALARIES
NOW THE SLOGAN.
Thomas Holiday Heads the List
OF Applications for More
Money.
WANTS 1900 A YEAR MORE.
General Scramble All Along the Limo
Before tho Board of Estimates
And Apportionmcnt.

Thomas Holiday, superintendent OF
watorworks. who went around among
his friends before election and declared
that lie didn't want the job again, has
evidently changed his mind. When ho
appeared before the board OF estimates
ond npportonmcnt today he asked for
O raise of $1,000 a year in his salary,
making the position pay $1,000 a year.
Up to date HOLIDAY has shown more
nerve than any other department OIL
fetal In his recommendation, HOLIDAY
asked the board to increase the salary
OF e. b. Kneass, chief deputy, from
$1,200 to 1880 Il year kneasS Knows
more about the waterworks department
than Holiday and all the rest OF the
administration. so HOLIDAY cVluently
figured that II he was worth $1,000 moro
to the city. Kneass was worth about
$500 with all his knowledge of the
wntcrworks system HOLIDAY also re-
quested the board to raise the salary OF
Joe Cohen, the storekecpcr for the de-
partment, to $500 q year. which would
give him an increase OF S120. He also
declares that the assessors of water
rates ought to receive a raise, making
their salary $50 a month.
Since Holiday decided that he wanted
INC 1iSlllIl, Uc peth PieIS hi6 pS'A-
tics. BY resolution HOLIDAY has asked
that the patroling of the canyons be
transferred into his jurisdiction and
taken from Frank Matthews. land and
water commissioner. This would give
HOLIDAY moro men and make 1t appear
that ne could earn a S3.000-a-year sal
ary.
Frank Matthews. the land and water
commissioners was not backward in MS
recommendations. despite the fact that
the work OF his office has been reduced
considerably Matthews bobs up before
the board of estimates and apportlon-
ment. asking for an increase in. IS sal
airy from 1920 to $1,000. The rest of his
employees do not appear to need an in
crease in their salary.
City Treasurer Gideon Snyder has
asked that some of his employees be
given an Increase of from $3.50 to s. a
month The entire increase in his sal
airy list which he recommends is sI32
wear. Last year his salary list was
SIO,44S Sc. and now he wants it increased
to sl1. 1906.
The board of estimates and appor-
-tionmcnts Is seriously considering the
abolshment of the park commission.
In this department 100000 was spent
last year and nothing much was ac-
complishcd Park Commissioner Heath
is feeling a little anxious about tho sit
uatlon and there are several other Of
