was decided to lay this matter over
until the city's annual budget is made
up. This automatically eliminates
judges from an increase until the
next election is held. -
The salary now is $4,000. They

least has the appearance of gentle

sesses a certain faded prettiness.
And then, finally, came the heart
rending letter to the wife from the
husband which led to the divorce
court:
''You know yourself that all the af-
fections have shown have been cool
and compulsory on my part. Every
letter which 1 have written these
years has not been from a sense of
pleasure, but with feeling of duty.
You are as good a woman as ever

step by step the gulf between them
widened and the divorce proceedings
before Judge HUMPHREYS, brought by
the wife, were bitterly contested.

utory decree of divorce, which does
not become operative until DR.. Silver
berg has paid her money which she
gave him to enter college and become
a physician.
The defendant must pay $1,000 at
the rate of 500 every three months;
and he also must pay alimony of $50
a month until the $1,000 is paid. The
court granted Mrs. Silverberg's at
torneys' fees to the amount Of $3.50.
Mrs. Silverberg did not ask for di-
vorce, but for separate maintenance,
but Judge HUMPHREYS, in granting the
divorce, insisted that it was in the
best interests of society that "this
union without love, this mockery of
marriage" should be dissolved.
