Officials Ask Lower Salaries

New York, Jan. 15.-Three city EN-.
ployes gave Mayor Mitchell a sur
prise today by applying for a reduc.
tion in salary. They were John r.
Freeman, William H. Burr and Alfred
H. Noble, each consulting engineer
of the board of water supply. The
engineers suggested that their sal
aries be fixed at $4,000 a year each,
instead of $4,000. as at present.
They explained that with the COM

board needed their services not more
than half the time, and they thought
a reduction in compensation was prop
er. The board passed along their re-
quest to the board of estimates, with

lives Of occupants and adjoining prop
erty. Lack ofrproper red lights marx
ing exits. and insufficient fire escapes,
arc cited as additional causes why the

and bettered to render it safe to occu-
pants, and prevent it from continuing
a menace to surrounding property.
