MOVE TO INCREASE
EMPLOYEES SALARIES
On Account OF High Cost Of Living,
Cost OF Government May BE In
creased $4,000.

A ten per cent increase in the wages
of city employees was proposed yes
terday in a resolution offered to the
Administrative Board by Chairman
John Hirschberg. The resolution fol-
lows:
BE 1t resolved by the Administra-
tive Board. That we recommend,
through his honor, the Mayor. to the
City, Council, that the salaries of all
employees under the Jurisdiction of the
Administrative Board will be given a
general increase of ten per cent on
their salaries received at present;
further. that no employee shall re-
ceive less than $3.50 per day, this to
take effect at the beginning OF the
fiscal year, February /. 1917: the
above to have no effect as to super
animated employees"
This resolution does not include
heads of departments. unless the
board chooses to amend the resolution
and make provision for Thorn. As
reason for the resolution, 1t Is
argued that the enormous increase In
the cost of living has made the In
crease Of salaries necessary. The. in
crease would amount to a total Of
about $4,000 q year, and would affect
the Departments OF Streets. Street
Cleaning. Water. Gas, Electricity.
Engineering and Health.

The Administrative Board heard to-
day plan by Commissioner Hobson
for widening Fifteenth Street to a
uniform width OF forty feet, as a
measure Of relief from congested CON
dttions which now exist there Mr.
Hobson's plan will demand that all
the property needed on the east side

be condemned, The property owners
in Fifteenth street have already
agreed TO make an, exchange of land
with tho city, the board to trade prop
erty owned hv the city for privately

vide site toy the re-erection on the
original spot Of the Southern Literar,
Messenger building. in which Edgar
Allen Poe had his office. Anyway the
entire property on the east side OF
Fifteenth Street from Main to Car,

nations of the world. and then thus
maintain the respect to which we are
entitled and giving us an opportunity
to have a growing interest through
that esteem by which. indeed. we can
maintain our rights and in the end
truly serve humanity"
Speaking Of the responsibilities OF
national leadership. Mr.. Hughes said:
Intended to BE q Leader.
THE executive is intended to be a
ieaderS but his leadership has pri-
marily to do with the performance
of certain constitutional duties Of
gravest importance to the people. He
Is not chosen to follow the whims Of
his fancy. or to indulge in a license
of freedom to follow his personal
choices in any direction to which his
Imagination might lead him. He is
the executive under our constitutional
system charged with the duties of
managing the great business affairs
of the United States. His first duty
is to give to the country an efficient
administration of the public business.
Mr.. Hughes again assailed the in
competency of the Wilson cabinet
I'VE did have in the cabinet of the
administration a first-class man as our
first Secretary of War. but he could
not live with the administration and
had to get out" he said.
