council, reported last night that he did
not favor repetition this year of the
customary Municipal Christmas tree
celebration, which called for a general

$1,000 year salary for his services
as city treasurer and an additional
$500 year for the young woman en-

part OF her time in the Office Of the
city controller.
It was proposed last night that
council appropriate $1,000 for the
county treasurer's salary and $500 ad-
ditional for deputy hire. This sum
would be sufficient for the treasurer
to employ some man to serve as dep
uty city treasurer with a permanent
Office in the city hall. The question
was referred to the ordinance COM
mittee.
Mayor Robbins said that II a deputy
city clerk was employed he would
give him the office now occupied by
the mayor and that the mayors Office
would be located in a room on the
