Council Passes Levy Ordinance
Assembled in special session yesterday
I evening the city council passed the levy
ordinance for the year lsll-n The oroi-
\ nance haa been on two readings prior 70
yesterday and the special meeting was
/ called so as TO have the levy available
| by August 8
The full levy amounts TO ollsS2 on the
dollar which is the highest tax ever levied
in this city.
In the provisions Of the levy ordinance
was the authorization for the payment of
a monthly pension TO Mrs .. c. Garrett
widow OF the late fire chief. D c. Garrett
This is the first effect Of the recent law
which provides that the city shall pension
the widows Of public servants D. c. Gar
rett was for many years chief Of the local
fire department. and according to the Law
his widow will receive . sum equal TO half
the pay OF her late husband
When the item was read IN the ordinance
John Franek. president OF the council
hesitatsd to approve by vote Councilman
Miller explained that the item did not mean
a new fund. but that whatever money was
allowed Mrs. Garrett, the same must be
taken from the fire fund for the year.
While the eouncilnen all admit that the
who have lost their lives in the line Of
duty is a good law, they hesitate TO ap-
| prove the practice that might consume a
| great part Of the annual fund set aside
either for the police or the firemen-
Il lie thought that the council would
far rather make payment Of a lump sum
. than TO agree to the payment OF a monthly
pension during the lifetime Of the relict
OF a man entitled 70 the provision Of the
, law under this head.
