retaries at 81 500 each, instead OF one
at 1,5OO, one clerk at 81 800, and clerk
at $780, The executive office salary In
creases amount to s2.34o. The Com
missioners asked for S31.I30 for taking
care of the District building, which
would have provided five new posi-
lions, but the bill carries the same as
last year, s36.530.
In the auditors Office there is an in
crease of $4,000 in the salary roll over
the present act The auditor estimated
$49,376 for his Office, and the bill car
ries S47,476. There is a two-hundred-
increase in the market
masters Office, a six-hundred-dollar IN
crease in the salaries connected with
the produce market.
The superintendent of weights and
measures asked for a seventeen-thou-
sand-dollar salary increase and special
legislation that would permit him to
pay salaries in his department with
the fees which he collects. He adve-
Gated this on a whole cost basis. not
withstanding the half-and-half prin-
cipIe. but this special legislation is Lot
carried in the bill, and the salaries sin
that department are to be $1,000 in
place of $3.50 as at present.
A new item in the bill is $4,000 for
repairs to the morgue. The register of
wills estimated $4,000 for new file
cases, but the bill fails to carry it.
The salaries in the Engineer Com
missioner's offices are carried in the
bill at S173,5 $40. This is $500 less than
the current act. and $4,000 less than
the estimates called for. The increase
in the estimates was due mainly to the
proposals to transfer men from the
per diem roll to the salaries or per-
manent roll. The municipal architect
asked to have a large number of per
diem men transferred to the permanent
roll, but this was denied him and the
bill carries $26,250 as usual.
