INCREASE OF SALARIES

The new city council will be- sworn in at the next meeting of the council and the subject of increasing the sal
 aries of the employees of the city will be one of the first questions considered by the new body, according to state

 at present are very small compared to the increased cost of living. and in
 comparison with salaries received in
 other lines of employment. The police
 department has been badly handicapped for this reason, and there are vacancies in the fire department. the same condi- tion prevailing there. The increase in the citys tax valuation will probably
 cover the additional pay to the city of- ficers
