 Other Matters

As had been predicted by the Silver Belt, the council last night adopted a salary slashing plan and as the result, the resignations of Mayor Kinney and Councilman Higdon were not acted upon.
 The salaries of the city police were cut and a slice was also taken off of the salary of the police judge. Two po- lice officers were cut from the pay roll and the sanitary officer was ordered to combine his work with that of police officer.
 None of the other salaries were touched As matters stand now, how ever, the council may amend the salary of any officer or employe at pleasure without the formality of passing an or dinance.
 The salary ordinance was taken from the table by motion of Councilman Maurel. There was no dissent to it's adoption, although the question of fix ing salaries caused some discussion.
 City policemen, of whom there are four, were reduced to two and their salaries cut from S120 to $l00 a month.
 It was apparently the program to abolish the office of sanitary inspector entirely, but after a hard fight, In- speetor Lowthian s job was saved at the original salary of Sl20 per month, on condition, however, that he would act as special policeman during the day
 Councilman McNeil asked that the salary of Hinson Thomas, city police judge, be cut from $200 to Sl00 per month None of the other councilmen ehampioned MeNeil s cause, however, and this cut was not made It was finally agreed, however, that a small re- duction should be made and the salary of that office was fixed at $175 per month.
 Provision was made for two drivers for the fire department, at salaries of SS5 per month each, sleeping quarters furnished.
 The new regulations will go into ef- feet on the first of February.
 More Bridges
 Within short time new bridge will probably be constructed across Pi- and creek, near the Maurel hotel.
 Councilman Maure stated last night that the people of North Globe would donate for that purpose the money re- maining in the North Globe Townsite fund, amounting to about 5000.
 Mir. Maurel held that the city should build sixty.foot bridge. The opin- ion of the other councilmen was that a forty five foot bridge would be suf- ficiently wide and as the result, the .i+ 4, .I necessary data.
 Another small bridge will probably be built across Pinal creek, below the Mountain View hotel. Data was also ordered for this bridge.
 Plans for the bridge on North Broad at Miners union hall will be drawn up at once. There has been some delay in this work owing to the fact that ne- gOtiations are under way for securing small corner of the Towle property, which the bridge will cross.
 Tony TrojanOvieh stated that he, would guarantee that the city council could purchase cement for $2.90 per barrel, making saving of 70 cents "a barrel to the city.
 Mir. Trojanovich s proposition was gratefully received by the council, as it will mean good saving in the cost of bridge copstruction in the city.
 Fire Protection
 Twenty residents of South Globe peti- toned the council to install one of the old hose reels in that part of the city near Centrar avenue, holding that the necessary ground could be secured free of charge.
 A similar petition was also received from East Globe, asking that another of the old reels be stationed near Ash street.
 As it was felt that these hose carts will not be needed at the new fire house, since the new chemical engine has been installed, the council placed the matter in the hands of the fire committee.
 It was the informal opinion of the
