by tb - OF aldermen at its regular
meet : asst night, when the salary cons

the present fiscal year. Without an ex-

name in the report were approved. Chief
Gladding is TO receive Sl,l00, instead of
$1,000, his yearly salary for several
years, and DR.. p. S. Duffy's previous
lump fee of $500 was increased to S400.
No recommendation for increases was
made in any other instance.
Talk of additional pay for the police,
the chief and the regular patrolmen APP
pears to have been discounted when the
salary committee finally shaped its rec
concentrations. In circles where such
matters are discussed, it had been re-
ported too, that the street superintend-
ent and the building inspector were to
receive salary boosts, but apparently re-
ports of this kind we're allowed to 90 by
the board. Here is the schedule; Chief
of police, sl,050 yearly; regular patrol
men, so per month for the first two
years and S75 thereafter, a weeks vaca-

Unexpectedly came the resignation of
ames f. Curtis, whose appointment as
wiring inspector was confirmed last week.
