Yesterday afternoon the board of
county commissioners took up the
matter OF final adjustment OF the tax
rate for 1917 and found themselves
face to face with a condition beyond
their control, because of provisions
made by the recent legislature conf
pelling certain special taxes TO be
levied. For instance they found the
state tax rate to be 62.35 or 16.05c.
higher than 1t was in 1916 They we're
ordered to levy county state high
way tax Of seven cents; civic physi-
cal tax of cents, teachers redemp-
tiOn tax of three cents. Through a
new school law passed by the last
legislature the sum of $3.50 for each
of Is teachers must be provided for ;
as well as IS each for 32I school
census children, making total of
1854. The board had already at
their March meeting made UP their
county school budget and found that
tax OF 20 cents would be ample for
all requirements. Under the new law
the board was compelled to raise the
rate to thirty-two cents What is to
be done with the extra money, the
board Is at loss to understand and
has been unable to get any informa-
tion from the office of superintend-
ent Of public instruction, who sent out
the notice to the board.
A close study of the figures given
below will be OF interest to the tax
payers of Douglas county With the
exception OF the II cents. extra tax
of the high school, the entire raise of
7705c is saddled onto the taxpayers
through state source, and not because
of any extravaganza on the part of
the board of county commissioners.
Our county board Is doing everything
in their power to keep expenses down
to the minimum. but are helpless to
prevent legislatures from saddling
heavy taxation upon the taxpayers of
this state.

Big Gain in Dairy Products

In spite of the fact that the cost of
feeding cattle was much greater in
1916 than in the previous year. figures
show that the dairy products of the
reclamation district increased twenty
nine per cent this last year and more
than 100000 worth of butter-fat was
received at the Churchill Creamery In
1916.

With the rate of valuation steadily
climbing to the 100 per cent mark,
so per cent to be exact, and with the
rate keeping pace with the rise of
valuations instead of lowering as was
originally intended by the state tax
commission act, we see where the
taxpayers of Nevada are in for a
skinning until they wake up and
send representative men TO the 'legis-
latnre. The valuation in Douglas
county has been raised from little
over 100000 to $2,7O0,0 900 and the

under the old order of taxation.

to come up and be referred asked Councilman Curtis.
 .Yes there is and for heavens sake refer 1t and let me get home," sput- tered City Clerk Thompson. It was then 1O:55 D. m. and the council had been in session almost three hours.
 The petition to increase the comp troller's salary from $1,00O to $1,2O0 and also the one to increase the chairman of the water boards pay from $1,OOO to $1,2O0 were referred to the salary committee. A proposed ordinance to restrict the time during which salary requests may be so- licited was lost.
 Thompson Goes Home.
 At Ii p m. the council adjourned, whereupon the city clerk was permit ted to go home.

secretary of the cemetery committee from $1,OOO to $3,O00; creating the office of assistant electrical inspector; concerning the connection of refrig- orators with the sewer, and concern ing the fire and police departments in order that they be entitled to sal- ary increase.
 Butchers Object to Contracts.
 Myer Dunn, Edward Dunn, A. Sher- man. I. Steele and H. Maxen, peti- tions, representing the New Britain cattle dealers, asked that the con- tracts for buying hides at the mu- :,:c:pal slaughter house be awarded to the East Side Hide and Tallow company of Hartford. Referred to the health board. In this connection the health board asked permission to grant the contract to Nathan Cohen of Ansonia. MT. Cohen's contract calls for a payment of $200 per year to the health board. It also provides that the Ansonia man do the Janitor service at the slaughter house. Su- perintendent T. E. Reeks presented Q new and more satisfactory contract with MT. Cohen, giving the city the right to end the contract with sixty days notice. Alderman Paonessa questioned the financial sta bility of MT. Cohen and said he thought the contract ought to be granted to the Hartford firm. Further debate was cut off when Councilman Curtis moved that the health board be per- mitted to enter into this contract if 1t sees fit. On the other hand, the board can change it's mind and recom- mend another contract if it so desires MT. Paonessa said he would like to insist on surety bond and this reso- < lution was passed. The garbage col lection contract was awarded to swanson Brothers for $5,60O per year. swanson Brothers will post surety bond of $5,60O. The health boards proposed ordinance to prevent chill dren from digging in public dumps was adopted.
 The council also recommended an ordinance giving the park commits sion the right to care for the new south end park.
 The council voted to award the street sprinkling contract to the H. R. Walker company. The rate is the same as last summer.
 A petition from Emil Hagist ct al. for the rebuilding of the Monroe street sewer west from Madison to Linwood was referred to the board of public works. So was a petition to spend $500 for the grading of New ington avenue from East to Chapman streets.
 Increase for pr. T. E.. Reeks.
 Alderman V. B. Chamberlain intro- duced a resolution to increase Dr. T. D.. Reeks' salary as superintendent of health from $2,5OO to $3,500. The council members united in praising the work of Dr. Reeks. This matter was temporarily tabled for considera- tion later, as was petition from AL derman Jester ct al., to increase the salary of the city comptroller from a. 900 to $1,2OO, It was explained that the work has increased one-third in the last few years.
 Curtis Opposes Salary Grab.
 Councilman Curtis said there are
New Britain herald., 1917-03-22

many good officials who deserve salary raises, but he thinks the city ought to go slow. He said that the salary list shows salaries only of $5S,OO0, when in reality it totals about $9O,0OO. This is because in several boards the salaries come out of the appropriations. MT. Curtis said salaries should be fixed according to the value of the office but not accord ing to the individual. When it was suggested to make the building in- spector's salary $2,50O instead of $500 and the inspector devote his entire time, MT. Curtis said that in Bridge
 port the building inspector gets $2,OOO and has much more work to do. He said that in New Haven the
 building inspector gets $2,500. An other statement of MT. Curtis was that in the last three years the city
 has increased individual officials salaries $15.000 and it is time to stop and go slow. The third warder dis claimed any personal feelings in the matter, but said he is thinking of the best interests of the city. He did not think, he admitted that he has acted wisely in favoring some previous salary increases. The time to stop lHiS SeAoAy eAoo AS Ao"s &nA' N"A 'A' said.
 Building Inspector to Get $2,5OO: On motion of Councilman Landers the council recessed for fifteen minutes while the salary and ordi- nance committees made up a report on the building inspector. The re- port, as presented by the ordinance committee, provided that the building inspector shall devote his entire time ,, to the position.
 MT. Curtis moved that the ordi-
 nance be amended so that the in- spector shall not be connected with, CT interested in, any other business enterprise. The motion was not sec- onded and the ordinance was passed.
 The salary committee reported a salary for the building inspector, fix- ing the salary at $2.2OO with trans- portation. Alderman Albert Ander- son moved to increase the salary to $2,50O without transportation. MT. Curtis moved that this salary, and all others not in force but now pending,
 be held up and referred to a special committee of five men. Councilman McDonough suggested an amend nlent to the effect that all salaries be taken out of the councils hands and placed in the hands of the finance board. It did not meet with favor.
 Regarding referring the salaries to :, special committee of five, Messrs. Spencer. Andrews, Chamberlain and Mueller objected and MT. Curtis with drew his motion.
 The question then reverted again to the motion of Alderman Anderson to increase the building inspectors solary to $2.500. On a yea and nay vote on this the amendment was ac-
 cepted by vote of 22 to 5. Those voting yes" were: Jester, Anderson, May, Talk. Stadler. Chamberlain, Me Cabe, Olson, Odenkirchen, Paonessa. Gould. Dehnl, Steiner. @TomasxeWski, 1verson. Gorbacks McDcnouEh. ,Muel- Ter. Wall. Richards Andrews and Spencer. Those voting ''no" were:
New Britain herald., 1917-03-22

Curtis, Landers. Owsiak, Merrimar and Eichstaedt.
 A resolution by MT. Andrews fo, the city to spend $1,20O in the Juls | celebration at Walnut Hill park was tabled for investigation. A reso. lCtion from Alderman McCabe to in. crease the salary of the chairman o1 the water board from $1,0o0 to $1.- 200 was temporarily tabled for sub- sequent action.
 Would Pay Councilmen Too. The salary committee reported that for moral reasons the salary increases should not be allowed. It was tabled. Councilman Curtis, who had stren- uously. opposed al salary raises. in- troduced resolution, sarcastically, providing a salary of $500 for all councilmen. It provoked a general laugh, but Mayor Quigley rapped for order, complaining that the members were making farce of the council. The member had already done that themselves by the aptitude for boost ing salaries, some member remarked in a stage whisper.
 Cooper Gets But $2,7OO.
 Taking up the previously tabled salaries 1t was voted to raise the sal ary of the assessors clerk from $75O to $85O. It was also voted to in crease the salary of the deputy city clerk from $1,200 to $1,300. The plan to raise the corporation counsers sal- ary to $3,OOO from 400 met with instant opposition. Councilman Cur tis moved to amend the recommen- dation, making, the salary $2,7OO. an increase of 12h per cent. Alderman Paonessa seconded the motion. Coun- cilman Landers argued for the 5000 salary as did Alderman Jester. Coun- cilman Dehm opposed the raise strenuously When man draws up an ordinance and don't know what he does I don't think he's worth much," the first warden said. On a vote for the $2,70O amendment the measure was carried by a vote of IA to 13. Those voting "yes' were An derson, Stadler. McCabe, Gould, Dehm. Steiner, Iverson, Spencer, Cur tis, Richards. Olson, Owsiak, McDon- ough ahd Tomasczwak. Those vot- ing mo" were Jester, Chamberlain. Paonessa, May, Eichstaedt, Folk, Mueller, Andrews, Wall, Odenkirchen, Merriman, Landers and Gorbach. It was then voted that Judge Cooper's salary will be $2,7O0 and not $3,000 as recommended by the salary com mittee, or $3.400 as recommended in a previously received petition.
 Councilman Curtis moved that in- stead of increasing Prosecuting Alt torney G. W. Klett's salary to $2,OO0. as previously voted, the council cut the salary down to .$1,800. His plan was not considered and it was voted to maintain the salary at $2,000 and all other previously reported raises were also passed.
 Thompson Wants to Go Home. The recommendation to increase the superintendent of health's salary from <2, 300 to $3,5OO was referred to the salary committee.
