COURTS INCREASES
WILL BE ALLOWED
New Places and Salary Raises of
Municipal Bench to
Be Effective

Despite criticism of salary increases and
new place demands made for 1918 by the
Municipal Court, all of the places desired
by the judges and all Of the increases in
sisted upon by them will become effective
The Municipal Court budget totals about
sl,0Oo,000 as compared with Sl98.160 in
1914. In the intervening years the number
of employees has increased from 100 to 500.
one year ago Councils Finance Commit
tee attempted to prevent increases and new
places by making no provision for some
asked by the court. This resulted In the
appointment of many of the men, their sal
aries being paid by the simple system of
mandamusing the city as they came due.
Any failure of Councils this year to provide
for the court demands would result in
the same way.
Final decision to salary increase and
new place demands totaling well over a
haf-million dollars has been postponed
until next Monday when Councils Finance
Committee will meet for revision of the
budget and to strike a balance upon which
to report n tax rate bill to Councils on
Wednesday, II is admitted that Water
Bureau increases will have to be granted,
and that the courts can enforce their de-
mands at will TIL It other increases will
be allowed Is dependent somewhat upon
the action Of the Sinking Fund Commits
