CITY SALARIES
ARE TO BE LEFT
TO ALDERMEN

How to classify city employees
and equalize their salaries was a
problem that the special council
committee on salary equalization
wrestled with. Thursday morning.
Controller Engel and Aid. Vernon
formally evolved what may be a
workable salary revision plan. It lie
to obtain from the civil service
commission the specifications for
the various city jobs. Then the spe.
cial committee will attempt to class
lily the different positions and leave
II up to the council to adjust the
salaries.
II is not likely that the salary re-
vision will be downward, although
Aid. Lodge pointed to the fact that
because Of slackness OF the times,
the majority Of the private concerns
In the city are making from 10 to so
per cent cuts In salary lists.
The committee hopes TO have the
salary list revised before the council
Is through with the estimates.

The big problem In the opinion Of

made at one Detroit supply house to
obtain $4,000 half-grain morphine
