that these include many different
things which must be made according
to very definite specifications and up

SALARY COMMITTEE
 DISCUSSES RAISES
Recommends Increases for Asst.
 Prosecutor and Bremen

At the meeting of the council salary committee last evening it was voted, on motion of Councilman Frank Me- Donough. to increase the salary of the assistant prosecuting attorney from $45O a year to $650. Increase in the f1remen's pay was also recommended but the petition of the policemen for increased salary was referred back without action.
 Those present at the meeting were Chairman Albert F. Eichstaedt, Coun- cllmen c. J. Dehm, William Wall. Robert Merriman and Frank Nc Donough. Assistant Prosecuting At torney Joseph G. Woods appeared in reference to his increase in salary. He said he has changed his mind and will seek a reappointment. In support of his argument that the job is worth more than $450 he said that out of 1,61S cases in court he prosecuted $50. He also explained that he inves- tigated numerous other cases. Judge w. F. Mangan and Lawyer M. D. Sake both agreed that the position is worth more than $450. Although MT. Woods had asked for $500, the coun- ell committee saw fit to grant an in- crease of only $200.
 Bremen Get Increase.
 The fremen, in their request for more pay, asked a fifteen per cent. in- crease, while the safety boards recommendation was slightly in excess of ten per cent. The committee voted to recommend the following schedule, suggested by the safety board: Chief, S1,7O0; assistant chief (call chieD $500; an increase of $2O0; captains from $S.16 to $3.50 per day; heuten- ants from $302 to s.3o: firemen, first year. from $2.42 to $2.7o; second year. from $2.64 to $2.90; third year. from $2,86 to $315.
 Considering the request of the policemen for more pay the committee was confronted with several obstacles. The policemen asked 8 ten per cent. increase and a change in the period of service in the first grades from two to one year. The safety board has recommended that the salary of the chief be increased from $1.76o to s1 300 and, on motion of Mr. Merri- man. this incerase was voted. The captains salary was likewise increased from $1,54o to $1,es0. Then, on m otion of MT. Dehm, the entire pro- ceeding was made null, by his recon mendation to have the entire matter 1 of police pay referred back to the council. He gave as his reason that the ordinance must be changed be- fore the grades of the patrolmen can b. changed and he did not think il fair to increase the officers pay with. l out increasing that of the men.

Monthly Report Shows Increased
 Activity in All Branches

According to the monthly report of Y. M. c. A., submitted to the board of directors last evening there are now 1,421 members in the association against the best previous record of 1,280. Particular emphasis has been laid on the religious work this year and it has been put on a broader basis than ever before. During the month there was a total attendance at the re- ligious meetings of 1,400 which Is far greater than the attendance at the so- ctal or educational activities. The in- crease in the activity of the associa- ton and the broadening out of the work IS vary gratifying to all that are in any way connected with it.
 The complete report of Secretary Barnes follows:
 To the Board of Directors:
 Gentlemen:-
 A good idea of the extent and scope of the work of the Y. M. c. A. may be gained from the records of attend ance made during the past month. The attendance in organized activities in all departments for the past four weeks was 10.750, or an average of 3S5 a day, including Sundays. In ad- dition to this there was as large a pro- portionate attendance in the game and reading rooms.
 The membership count shows a rec- ord of 1,421 compared with 1,2SO as the best record made in any previous year.
