A union meeting Of the Skowhegan
fire department was held at the de-
partment headquarters Thursday eve
ming, the board of fire commissioners
and Selectman Clyde Fl. Smith being
in attendance. The meeting was called
to obtain a vote on the sliding wage
scale suggested some weeks ago By
Selectman Smith. 1t was voted with
out great opposition to accept the
sliding scale which is that men dur
ing the first three years of service
are to receive $35 yearly, those stay
ing four and five years arc to receive
$50 and all serving longer than that
will be entitled to $65 per year. The
number of men in the company will be
cut down to 36, but as there arc but
a few more than hat number in the

men will probably be dropped. neither
will new ones be added until there is
a vacancy. The session was called to
order by Chief Savage and II. T.. Pat

marks favoring the change and Clyde
