item of a deputy city clerk, s fixed at $1,300, Mr. Beloin immed ly moved that the salary be req to $500 if an appOintee is named argument was that if the girl the work at present can do it factorily at $900 why cant it be at that figure all the time? Beloin and MT. Curtis also noted there are fewer building deeds recorded at present and the dd sion in the realty business will ably continue for another year. m otiOn of MT. BelOin was passed Before taking up the next itel Sullivan, referring to the fact t { had been stated that there waa building going on and conseqy IHt ! the second deputy clerk had littke f% [ do and the salary ought not bet IQ- creased, said: Just remember t+Tat argument when you get to the item of i the building inspector
 It was voted to recommend that the
 salaries of the two registrars of ! voters, at $1,200 each, be left the same, although comment was made on the fact that they get paid extra for 1 their school enrolment and the per 1 sOnal tax enrolment.
 Assessors Get Left Too l On motion of MT. Ely it was re-
 commended that the salary of the al-
 time assessor, August Burkhardt, be / left as it is at s1,60O, although he has 1 asked an increase of $4O0. MT. Sul- 1 lican asked how much time he de- votes to his job and was told that it
 was an ''all time" job. Yes, all time,"
 said Councilman McDonough, but if 1 we had time clocks in these different | offices we'd find these all-time people
 don't devote half their time.' ''1es, it does make q difference" Mr. Sullivan answered.
 Chairman Eichstaedt also remarked on the assessors salary and said that from his observations he thought the < the head clerk in this office does most of the work.
 The two additional assessors, Araon
 Danielson and James J. Watson, whose present salary for part time work is $75O, asked to be increased to $1,200 each. Councilman Dehm moved that they be cut down to $500 each. Councilman Ienehan remarked that this office has a deputy at $S50 who does all of the work. After some further whispered conversa- ton Coun cilman Dehm withdrew his
 motion and it was finally recommend ed that the salaries be left at $750 as they are at present.
 On motion of Mr. Beloin it was re- commended to leave the salary of the superintendent of health as it is, at $2300. No increase was asked. i MT. Beloin thought that if the city Wls getting good doctor for that price | it was fortunate. Chairman Ftich-
 staedt's argument was that inasnuch as the health board had not sought i an increase for this office it was sign | the man was getting enough. 1 Health Inspector Fred McEnroe asked an increase from $500 to SLIGO. i MT. Beloin curtly remarked Well, 1 he worked for me for $15 per week.. 1 Both Councilman Dehm and LCnehan l insisted that MT McEnroe is a cap 1 able man and does good work, en- 1 titling him to an increase. MT. Beloin 1 moved that the salary be increased to to $1 900 and that of Inspector Dolan l be likewise increased. This was not l seconded and Councilman Lenchan ] moved that the saary be increased to i s1,1OO. It was seconded by Council
 man Dchm.
 1 No comment was made upon the 1 salary of the milk inspector, E. D. 1 Radcliffe, and it will remain at l $1,0O0.
 Building Inspector Cut Down. { Next came the salary of Building
 Inspector A. N. Rutherford, fixed a 1 year ago at $2,5OO. Now we'll see, ] It makes a difference whether a man i CT woman holds a job. Women i don't vote in Connecticut said Mr. Sullivan MT. Beloin said to Comp 1 trollcr Curtis: well, MT. Curtis
 says there isn't much building going l on now" Whereupon that official 1 became worried and begged that Mr. l Beloin not quote him. Councilman 1 McDonough immediately moved that l the building inspectors salary be
 reduced from $2,5OO to s2,200 1t
 was finally seconded hy MT. Sullivan
 and on a vote, McDonough and Sul- livan were the only ones voting in 1 favor of the reduction. The only one voting against it however, was Mir 1 Be1oin and the reduction was carried as the recommendation of the com- | mittee.
 1 Plumbing Inspector Thomas Quin- 1 livan asked an increase of $500 on 1 his present salary of $1,SO0 On mo-
