KEARNY COP FIGHTS
FOR BACK SALARY
increase Provided for in Meas
ure Passed by PeopIe-Town
to Contest Case.

That the Kearny Town Council ~
preparing TO fight the attempt OF DO
lioemen OF the town TO secure back
salary in accordance with the proyi-
sions of an act accepted by the voters
in the town in 1909, was stated today.
Councilman Walter r. Chapman,
chairman of the police committee. de-
clared the Council will do all possible
TO defeat the suit, which has been
brought in the name of Patrolman
jeremiah Sawyer The amount Saw
yer seeks to recover is s466l0.
Since the papers in the case were
served. a week ago, there has been
considerable discussion as to what
course the Council would pursue.
Town Counsel Edward Kenny Is pre-
pairing an answer for submission to
the court. The papers, which vere
served on Town Clerk William B.
Ross are in the hands of Mr. Kenny.
Quite a number OF voters WIN IA
vored the passage of the act when
it came up in the form OF a referan-
dun four years ago, express the
hope the police will be victorious.
The contention made by Mayor
Louis M Brock 70 the effect the
voters did not fully understand the
provisions of the act Is looked upon
as ridiculous by many. 1t is re-
called the act was published in full
In several newspapers prior to the
election.
When the measure was put up to
the voters they approved II by a
large majority. The police at this
time claim that were the salaries
raised in accordance with the pro-
visions OF the act when 1t was ac-
cepted four years ago, there would
be no back salary to be reckoned
with at this time. This obviates the
argument, the police claim, to the
effect the voters did~not make pro-
vision for back pay.
In almost every town where the bill
was accepted the officials are paying
the police in compliance with the
measure. 1t Is understood that SUI
perior officers in the Kearny police
department have expectations of re-
ceiving back salary and this is said
to be one point in the opposition OF

solons. In the bill, as accepted in
Kearny. there is made no provision
for increasing the pay Of the higher
officers.
II the council decides to pay back
salary to the superiors 1t will only
be done on the initiative Of the coun-
ell. That the superior officers are
looking, to getting back salary or ar
amount equivalent is generally under.
stood.
In view Of the fact that a State
court has already decided in favor Of
an Asbury Park policeman who sued
for pay as provided by the bill, it Il
believed the Kearny bluecoats will
be victorious in their fight.

Council laying sidewalk in front

nearer the grade Of the rest OF the

preferred to pay for the walk on that
side
She claimed that a sidewalk along
her property would spoil the bucolic
effect of her estate and cause her
much regret.
She took occasion to remind the
council that the streets in Montclair
were in a shameful condition. and
that 1t would be much better for the
council to build now streets than to
lay sidewalks where they were not
wanted. She related a story OF her
