Alderman Kerwin. 'I make the amendment that it be referred to that committee to give it consideration and also to discuss the salary of an assistant engineer
 "I'm against that" said Alderman Christ. There is no assistant as far as I know officially We don't want to establish the salary before we find the right man for the job. Get your man first"
 ''But while the salary committee is considering the engineer it can also consider the assistant, as he may be sprung on us as the engineer was," replied Alderman Kerwin.
 Mayor Fears Delay.
 Again turning the gavel over to Alderman Christ, Mayor Quigley said: eff we delay we will tie up the street work until June l, and we will be in the same old rut, which is very bad policy. I know that MT. Hall is ab- solutely competent and trust that that amendment will not prevail"
 The mayor, when an alderman, was father of the committee on sal- aries and he impressed on us that all salaries should be established by that committee" remarked Councilman Paorlessa.
 Alderman Jester couldn't see where anything could be gained by holding up the resolution Alderman Shine sided with the republicans and said any delay would be dangerous. He amended Alderman Kerwin's amend ment and at his suggestion the reso- lution was referred to the salary com mittee for five minutes.
 After five minutes recess the salary committee reported favorab1y on the resolution and it was passed.
