CIIINAMAN IN COURT.
Alleged to Have Offered Money f.
 Little Girls

For the second time in about two years, Sam Lee, Chinese Iaundrvnan of 267 East Main street, was in police court this morning charged with breach of the peace and improper conduct towards women and girls. Because of his desire to secure counsel a continuance was allowed until Mon- day by Judge James T. Meskill under bonds of $500 which were furnished. The arrest was made last night by Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth and Detective A. J. Richardson. It followed an investigation by them and Prosecuting Attorney George w. klett, who issued the warrant. It is understood that damaging informal tion was secured by teachers of schools in that vicinity, who learned of the alleged conduct from some of their pupils.
 Lee is specifically charged with of fering money to two little girls 10 and 12 years old, respectively, and to have made improper proposals to them About two years ago Lee was fined $7 and costs and sent to jail for thirty days. A woman was implicated at that time

he asks $1,500 and $4OO for transpor- tation. This request is said by some council members to be the amount that the council salary committee originally decided to pay the plumb ing inspector, but it was subsequently, cut down. In supporting the inspec- tors claim for salary increase, the health board calls attention to the fact that not only does he work as many hours as a regular plumbing contractor, and sometimes more, but he receives cnly about the same wages as journeyman plumber.

MAY SUGGEST $25OO FOR PERMANENT JOB
Action May Be Taken to Change
 Building Inspectors Status

when the common council meets next Wednesday evening for it's nlpnthly business session recommen- dat1on will be received from the board of health asking for an increase in salary for Plumbing Inspector Thomas Quinlivan. So far as is known
 this will be the only salary increase 8souSht at this time, but before tho
 FHscal year ends it is expected that Aseyeral other salary boosts will be re- {quested, particularly that paid the
 building inspector
 It has long been known that Mayor
 George A. Quiglev and several other
 leading spirits in the city govern 3ment have been strongly in favor of
 placing the building inspectors posi-
 ton on permanent basis, rather
 than have it a part time job as at
 Gresent. The present salary of the
 oulldlng inspector is $500 per year, but 1t is admitted that a man capable kof efhc1ently filling the office of build
 ng inspector, were the job a perman- lent one, would not accept it at these $igures.
 There is some talk in city hall cir fcles that a recommendation may be
 made to have the building inspector 5placed on a permanent basis and to have the salary increased to $2,5OO per year, thus insuring the. services of a man competent to handle the job. 1 It IS also being suggested that inas- Emuch as no capable man would sac {rifice his own business interests for any position to which he might be Appointed only for a year, as is the case at present, the term of office be Heightened. It has been recommend f1 II-c ifo iy,ie, o;, 8that the appointment be made for Hive years, unless the incumbent be re-
 moved for just cause, or that he be Appointed for an indefinite term, to serve as long as he is capable.
 Rutherford Might Accept
 Arthur N. Rutherford, who has 2held office as inspector since Mayor was elected almost three years bgo, has been asked if he would con- Eider accepting the office on a per emanent basis, were it rendered to him. 3Whf1e he has been very careful not to commit himself positively, he has
 stated that he would not even con-
 Eider the matter under the present &salary rate or term of appointment EIe is a successful building contrac- 3or himself and tC take over the po- Sition permanently would mean that be must sacrifice his own business EMr.- Rutherford has been considered ] Thoroughly efficient officer of the 1 4ity governm
 Several council members are also 1
 eaid to be in favor of granting the in 1 crease in salary for the plumbing in
 apector. MT. Quinlivan, according to 1 4he statement of the health supern- $endent, has placed the office of l aIum ping inspector on a high plane,
 litI1- the result that sanitary condi- lions in connection with the plumb Ing about the. city have increased. <fr. Quinlivan's present salary is ST., R00, with $500 for transportation. and
