DON'T UNDERSTAND

G.. A. Burkert, Former Man
chester Official, Still on
City Pay Rolls
CRENSHAW EXPLAINS
APPARENT MlX-UP
New Measure Arranging for His
Appointment Sent Back With
out Recommendation by Or
dinanee Committee.

When the committee on ordnance,
nance arranging for tie creation OF
second assistant superintendent OF
the water department. to be assigned
to Washington Ward. they found that
&. A. Burkert, who was generally
supposed to have, been dropped from
the city payroll along with other Man
chester officials on August 81. was
still on the job. and drawing his
salary regularly.
The committee members could not
understand this. Several wanted to
know by what authority Mr.. Burkert
held a position that had not been
created. They also wanted to know
where his salary was coming from.
Superintendent Davis, OF the water
department. was questioned, He was
rather hazy on the details as to how
Mr.. Burkert managed TO remain in
the citys employ when the other Off
Gals were dropped, according to the
annexation agreement. As to salary,
MIR. Davis said he thought Mr.. Burk-
ert WAS being paid out of the water
rents received from Washington ward.
He was then asked how he dtffen-
tated the receipts from the South
side from those of any other ward.
Mr.. Davis couldn't answer He adj
mitted that he didn't know much
about II. except that MIR Burkert was
certainly working and certainly being
paid.
AS result of the general inability
to secure information to the au-
thortty under which Mr.. Burkert was
employed, the committee, rather In
dignantly sent the ordinance creating
a position already in existence. back
to the water committee without
recommendation.
The explanation Of the matter was
youehsafed by City Accountant Cren-
shaw Friday morning. Mr.. crenshaw
explained that, although there is no
mention OF the fact on the minutes
the services OF Mr.. Burkert were re-
tanned by the water committee Of the
old council. He has been paid from
the general fund Of the water depart
ment. the amount OF hts salary beinS
charged TO Washington ward, in the
expense account OF that district heins
kept by the city. Mr.. Burkert wa
not retained as an official. but merely
as an empioye at the same salar.
he received as superintendent of the
Manchester water works.
They took this action on their owr
initiative. without authority from
council as whole. They then framed
an ordinance arranging for Mr.. Burk-
ertrs retention. giving him title ane
increasing his salary from $50 month
~ to 1850 annually. This measure
died with the old council. 1t wa.
practically the same ordinance tina
the ordinance committee refused e
consider Thursday night.
II seems that the new water com
mittee either did not know or hae
forgotten that Mr. Burkert was a.
work, and imagining the Sonthsid.
water works to be without a compe
tent official proceeded to arrange FOL
an appointment.
The ordinance will be sent back e
the ordinance committee with the
foregoing explanation.
