City Attorney Page will continue to
draw $2l00 annually from the city
treasury, as a result of the action taken
last night by the city council in post
poning indefinitely action on an ordi.
nance reducing the attorneys pay.
Pages salary was raised the first of
the year by an ordinance which pro.
vided $500 salary and 5000 for stenog.
rapher' s hire, The new ordinance pro-
posed to put his pay back to the old
figure-$l2OO salary-and provided
that the stenOgrapher should receive

Page was called upon for an expIana.
tion of the matter, and grinned broad.
ly as he faced the council. He assumed
a George Cohan pose and told tho coun.
ell that he had been the victim Of per.
sonal attacks for some time; but had
refrainod from saying anything. He
declared that he had never made any
promises as to the salary he would ask,
nor had he solicited the raise given him
early in tho year. He believed the
statement had been made by White
that no would work without any depu.
ty, and, so far, he had required no ad.
ditional help He did not care to make
any promises for a $500 raise. He be.
lieved it to bo case where a man was
worth the money, and he was willing to
leave 1t to the council. So far as the
personal attack Of the evening paper
was concerned, it spoke for itself, ho
said, referring to the fac simile Of the

claimed he had drafted IL at the re.
quest Of the committee, and he was not

Mayor Sleeves declared that If any
man earned his salary, il was the city
attorney.
Stolz insisted that, as n matter Of
fact, the city attorney has cost the
city from $500 to $25OO annually for
years. Under Corby, he said the work
was piled up, and he was given a dep.

paid to help in litigation. He suggest.
