salary be fixed at $1,OOO. It was so
 voted. The salary of City Electrician
 George Cooley was increased from
 $1,6U0 to $1,S0O without opposition,
 and that of his assistant Burton l..
 Sage, was increased from $1,20O to
 $500. In this connection, Alderman
 Curtis called attention to a report Tn another paper to the effect that Sage
 might resign if he did not get his
 raise. He favored letting him resign if he felt that way, rather than per
 hitting him to hold up the city" It
 was explained that MT. Sage had never
 made this threat to the salary commit
 tee, and the Third warder then with
 drew his opposition.
 Curtis and Quigley Clash Taking up the salary of Building
 Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford
 which was recommended to remain at $2500, Alderman Curtis said that with all due respect to the incumbent who was present, he did not think the job was worth $2,50n. He favored placing the salary at $2,000, explain ing that building operations are slack now. He also said that only a few years ago a building inspector did this work and also the work of the plumb ing inspector and sanitary inspectors for $500 and today that same work is costing about $6,0O0. He likewise called attention to the fact that it has been said that the inspector has to use his automobile a great deal, but he challenged anyone to show hien where the building inspector has used his automobile much during the past two or three months.
 Q w pt ing as deputy city clerk, at once in-
 terrupted to say: My automobile is out in front now. The third ward alderman can have a ride right away if he wants it..
 No, I don't want to add to your ex- i penses," replied Alderman Curtis amidst a general laugh.
 i Alderman Charles May said he also thought the building inspectors job paid too much and he amended to have the salary placed at $2,2O0, say ing he thought the inspector ought to cconomizc on tires and gasoline and use shoe leather thus saving the i $500.
 As soon as the drive against the building inspector was started one of the mayors right hand men, who had ! been sitting in the gallery, suddenly left the room. The object of his sud- den departure was soon apparent %
 few minutes later the mayor ap- peared, having evidently been sum- moned from the meeting of the board of finance and taxation.
 Continuing his argument opposing
 paying the building inspector $2,500 Alderman Curtis remarked that all the council members had read of the
 doings of Tammany Hall in New York
 and remarked in this connection that
 he thought the salary of the building

 Tn war time women cannot be con- sidered a separate part of the body pOlitic All American women will SUD- port President Wilson until an honor able and permanent peace shall be brought about by the great army un- der his direction.
 "Again, I repeat, we need an ac- cessjOn of the passion of patriotism This can be created and kept alive only through spiritual means. In Belgium, Cardinal Merciers tones rang above the clash of arms, and Germanys failure to consider the moral purposes and spiritual impulses of men will bring about her ultimate defeat.
 And so the women of Connecticut may best help to win this war by strengthening and heartening our men to win on the battle1ields, by being ready with wise counsel, careful con- servation and patient endurance at home, and above all by keeping clear and pure the ideal of a democracy which will grant privileges to none, will hearken to all pleas for justice, and grant to every nation great and small alike, the right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'

l salary of the stenographer of the i board of public works from $66O to $500, instead of to $750 as recom- mended by the salary committee. The vote on this increase was nine to seven. The salary of City Engineer w. H. Hall also caused much talk and motion to fix the salary at $3,500 was lost on a vote of fl to 6. It was finally decided to accept the recom- mendation of the salary committee and increase MT Halls salary from $3,500 to $4,O00.
 Alderman May also put through a motion increasing the salary of Frank I[lCtt, temporary engineer employed by the board of public works and the water department, from $1,68O to $1,70O. He told what a capable man MT. I<lett is and said he deserves the raise. Despite the protests of the board of public works it was voted to ! leave the salary of the superintendent of sewers at $1,500, rather than in creasing it to $1,600. It was explained by some that the superintendent is . a very capable man and has a very dirty job, but others replied that his job is worth no more than that of the superintendent of streets, which has been fixed at $1,50O, and he only supervises the dirty work while others do it.
 i The only change in the water de- { partment that was questioned by the I council was that of Foreman James 1 Maher. It had been recomm ended , that he be increased from $120O to l $1400 and the council voted to fix the l salary at $500. The recomme enda- i ton to increase the salary of Super 1 intendent James Towers from $2000 l to $2 800 was passed.
 1 Police Get soc a Day.
 Taking up the matter of police de- 1 partment changes, Alderman Curtis ! at once argued against passing the l graded increase of 10 per cent as
 recommended by the salary commit
 tee and after some discussion it was
 voted to leave the salary of the chief
 of police at 5000, that of the cap
 tain at $170O and the lieutenant,
 when such an office is created, at
 1,600. 1t was also voted to leave the
 pay of the sergeants at $1,5O0. Talk
 ing up the question of pay for the
 patrolmen it was voted to increase
 them fifty cents per day, making their
 four-year scale as follows: $4, $3.75,
 $50, and $3.25 per day for the first
 year man. Alderman May said he
 thought a twenty -fve-cent increase
 would be enough and he favored put
 ting the firemen and policemen on
 the same basis. He urged that the
 time is coming when the police will
 demand more time off and they are
 entitled to it, but, he added, it will
 cost much more to provide enough
 men to make this possible.

American women are vitally inter- ested in this war, and the most inn >portant thing that women can now do to help their country Is to create, guide, form and foster a public opinion favorable to President Will sons conduct of the war, declared Mrs. Charles A. Jackson of Waterbury when she was asked, What is the most important thing woman can do to help win this war;" Mrs Jack son IS a member of the committee on woman's activities of the Connecticut State Council of Defense and governor for Connecticut of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae. The following interview with her was made public by the State Council of Defense:-
 ''The mental attitude of the women of the nation must be one which will strengthen, not only the morale of the army, but the morale of the people," she continued. We must stiffen their determination, bolster up their coUr- age, awaken the spirit of sacrifice, and give them the will to wn.' In this war we need large accession of moral passion. and the passion of in war becomes a matter of moral obligation We Americans are fortunate in the high and lofty motives for which we entered the war Our conduct of it and the peace for

from $25O to $350 for Chairman A. F. MagneIl of the fire board. Some council members favored splitting this increase between Chairman F. F. King of the police board and MT. MagneI, but when it was explained that the chairman of the fire board is much moro important than that of the police board the matter was dropped and the proposed increase of $10O was passed. The salary commit tee recommended that the chief of the fire department receive a raise of $1S2.50, making his salary $19S2.5 50, but Alderman Curtis objected to this and moved that it be left at $1,800. On the amended motion of Alderman May, however, it was voted to fix the salary of the chief at $1,900. On motion of Alderman Curtis, the pro- posed increase of $10O for Assistant Fire Chief w. J. Noble was dropped and it was voted to let his salary re- main as it is at present, at $500. Other increases in the fire depart ment of 50 cents per day per man were passed without opposition.
 Dr, Radcliffe on Grill
 The salary of Plumbing Inspector Thomas Quinlivan also caused consid- erable of 8 stir The salary commit tee, after several hearings and much deliberation, had recommended that his salary be increased from $1,S00 to $2,100, but the council did not fa- vor this increase and finally voted to fix the inspectors pay at s2,000, an increase of $20O. The vote in favor of this was fl to five. Other increas- es in the health department were passed as follows: First sanitary in- spector, from $500 to s1,1O0; second inspector, $500 to $1,000 third in spector, $780 to 800; clerk, $500 to $500; Mrs, Kitson, nurse, $900 to $1,000. Although no change has been asked in the salary of Milk and Food Inspector Radcliffe, Alderman May objected to his receiving 1000 as in the past and moved that his sal ary be cut to s750 He explained that, according to his views, the milk and food inspector does not do suf- ficient work to entitle him to that pay. After some debate it was de- cided to withhold definite action on MT. Radcliffe's salary until future meeting and his work will be investi- gated in the meantime
 The meeting finally adjourned at 1925 a. n1., after referring the sev- eraI proposed ordinances to the ord inance committed

 $2, 800 and every member of the coun-
 Gil knows it. Its a shame to pay
 this and screw down on others," he
 cum bent was a friend of the powers

 VOrite.
 Councilman Spencer opposed cut
 ting the salary and Mayor Quigley
 gave a long talk in which he extoIed
 the office of the building inspector
 and said that it is most important and
 cannot be maintained at less than $2,-
 500. T believe that this drive is
 purely political and is not fair to the incumbent" he said. Alderman May immediately protested that his drive was not of the political variety, but
 was acting as he thought best. It was finally decided to take up this item
 later in the meeting and when it
 came up, after considerable further
 discussion, it was voted to leave In-
 spector Rutherford's salary at $2,500.
 This was decided on a yea and nay vote. the count showing three favor ing the cut and 17 opposing it. Only Aldermen Curtis and May and Coun- cilman McDonough favored the cut in salary.
 Cuts in Public Works.
 l Coming down to the salary of
 slaughter house inspector, Alderman 1 May moved to reconsider the action ] of the salary committee which had
 recommended that the salary be left l at $1,200 as it is. After some discus l sion on this item, during which the first warden told of the duties of the slaughter house inspector, it was vot- ] ed to grant a s20O raise, making Dr. Wittes salary $t,400 instead of $1,- 1 900
 1 The salary of F. N. Humphrey, ; chairman of the board of public
 works, was increased $100, making it 1 $500 per year, but on motion of ] Councilman Spencer, who said that the other members are over paid,
 the salary of each other of the mem-
 bers of the board of public works was
 cut from $2OO to $150. The salary of 1 Clerk Harry A. Emmett also came in
 for some discussion. The salary com
 mittee had recommended that it be
 fixed at $1, 400 instead of $1,20O but Alderman Curtis thought this too much of an increase and on his mo- | tion it was voted to increase the clerks salary only to $1,350. Mayor l Quigley rallied to the defense of Clerk Emmett in vain, telling what cap- able clerk he was and how valuable he was to the city. The council agreed that he is a capable clerk and a valuable one and might be worth more to a private cOrpOrat on, but the members insisted that the city cannot afford to pay him more than 1850. On motion of Councilman Gorbach it was voted to increase the

 ' accept every recommendation
 eept ones which might be ques- tioped by the council The first item orNwhich an increase was provided was for the mayors clerk and it was voted to increase that salary from $500 to $500. Mayor Quigley ex- plained that a plan is being evolved whereby his clerk will do part of the work of the War Bureau and be paid by that department. An increase of $150 for the second deputy city clerk, making her salary $1,O5O, was passed without opposition and it was like wise voted without opposition to give the second clerk in the office an increase of SIP, making her salary $500. The third clerk was also given an increase of $75 as recommended, making her salary $675.
 No Raise for Assessor.
 The next salary item questioned was that of the chairman of the board of assessors, and Councilman Gorbach said the incumbent did not get enough. He did not think $1,60O a sufficient salary for the position and moved that it be increased to $2,0O0. Councilman Eichstaedt agreed that the salary was not enough, but amended to make the increase only to $1,800. Alderman
 o. F. Curtis spoke on this matter and said that the salaries should not be paid to individuals, but to the posi- tions, and it is up to the man with the power of appointment to see that a capable incumbent is named. He said he thought S2,O00 was little enough for a capable assessor, but he favored leaving this item as it is for 1 the present. On Q yea and nay vote, Coun cilman Eichstaedt's amendment was lost, only Alderman May, Coun- cilmen Eichstaedt, Mueller, Oden- kirchen and KTaWiec favoring it. Those opposed were Aldermen Curtis and Paonessa and Councilmen Tomas- zewsl>i, Steiner, Leroux, Dehm, Gould, Talk, Spencer, Forsberg, Johnson, Richards, McDonough and Gorbach Likewise Councilman Gorbach's ori- ginal motion to increase the salary to $2,00O was lost, only himself and { Councilman Leroux voting in favor Of { it. Thus, the salary of the chairman of the board of assessors remains fixed at $1,600.
 The next item questioned was the ! recommended increase from $S5O to $1,050 for the clerk of the board of 1 assessors. Councilman Eichstaedt fa- vored the increase and said this clerk ship was considered the most import ant in City hall. Alderman May, how ever, thought the increase too much ] and moved that an increase of only $100 be allowed. Alderman Curtis moved that the figures be made round figures" and suggested that the
