WANTS MORE PAY

AT the regular meeting of the Board
OF Charities, last evening, further dis
cusslon Of proposed increases of sal
aries Of the various employees of the
department resulted in the granting
Of SIS per month increase to Miss Bes-
sic LAWN, nurse at the Lakeview
home, and instructions to the commit
tee on ambulance and emergency to
take under consideration the PROPOSE
ton of raising thes alary of the night
occupied by DR.. Andrew McQueeney
and at recent meeting the salary
raise Of so month brought the
monthly return up to $50. Acting un-
der instructions of the board Dr.. Nc
Queeney presented statistics of the
work of the emergency hospital to
show the disparity of the present scale
of salaries, with the day surgeon re-
ceiving 800, the relief surgeon $50 and
the night surgeon $40. If the board
paid for service ir proportion at night
the salary would be $130 and for ac-
tual work SS6.67, according to the fig
ures of DR.. McQueeney taken from the
records of the hospital
The board authorized the eXpendi-
ture of 81 225 at Lakeview home for

GOVERNOR MAY
name A JUDGE
Claim Made That Act of 1907
Gives Him Right to Settle
New Haven Deadlock
Especial from United Press.) }

New Haven, April 1s.-Politicians
interested in the local cDG court
judgeship contest between Judge A.
McC. Mathewson and Attorney How
ard C. Webb, settled down, today, to
await the adjournment of the Hart
ford General Assembly when Cover
nor Baldwin is expected to appoint a
Democrat to the office. The action
Of the House, today, in standing by
Webb and the action yesterday of the
Senate in affirming Mathewson for
reappointment, made it unlikely that
the legislature could ever agree on
the subject.
The opponents of Mathewson have
discovered q legislative act of 1907
which apparently gave the Governor
the power of appointment in all Of
fices filed bys the General Assembly
when provision for filling vacancies
has not been made. These partisans
declared, today, that the local city
court bench was really vacant by vir-
tue of the legislature having failed to
elect Mathewson's successor but that
he held over until his successor was
legally selected. The prospect that
the legislature would fail to name a
man strengthened the belief that
Governor Baldwin would ultimately
name the local judge.

POLICE CHAUFFEURS TO \
MAKE OWN CAR REPAIRS

Instead of sending the automobile
patrol of the police department to the
factory for it's annual overhauling,
Supt. Birmingham, at the suggestion
of the commissioners. will seek to eff
feet a saving by setting the three po-
lice chauffeurs to work on the car.
The work will be done by Patrolmen
Charles A. Wheeler, John McGirr and
George North. who are assigned to
the three eight hour shifts of the
drivers Of that vehicle.
The machine is not out of commits
sion, but is in need of the annual
inspection due to a car subjected to
such usage as falls to the lot of the
patrol. 1t is expected that the car
will be laid up in a garage near head
quarters for about a week.
In the meantime, the horse drawn
patrol wagon will be placed into COM
mission again, with City Court Off
Ger Christopher Finengan handling
ribbons.

toner. He thereby lost a consider
abe sum of money. The suit is re-
turnable to the court of Common

OPPOSED TO SIDEWALK SKATING.
FL Paso, March 20, 1911.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
a citizen would like to see some
thing done to prohibit bicycle riding
and roller skating on the cement side
walks. The practice has increased to
such an alarming extent that life and
limb are in danger.
Sunday afternoon anyone walking
along Myrtle avenue is obliged to give
the sidewalk to the kids for their BIZ
cycles and skates and take to the dusty
street. The kids come along at a high
rate of speed; they yell lookout" or
get out of the way" and never stop.
There are so many of them that if a
pedestrian attempts to stop or step
aside. it is only to be knocked down by
another one of the nuisances.
This is not alone on Sunday but all
days of the week, as those kids skate
and wheel to and from school and after
school till away into the night.
Boys and girls alike participate in
this sport. The smaller ones try to
fill in the vacant spots with their ex-
press wagons and tricycles.
1t is hoped the police will look into
the matter and have it stopped.
Mrs. Cameron.
