City Of cells whose iron doors

All kept enthralled like savage beasts
In quarters eight by ten.
Terrible tombs to all forsooth
Who never dwelt inside.
But peace and comfort reigneth here
From night to MONDAY tide.
Worries black are left behind

Life Is Just a flowing stream,
CnrippIed. fresh and clear.
Care and fear are strangers where
LIES burdens never weigh
On those who sleep and walk about
Awaiting judgment Day.
They pick your pockets In this place
As on the crowded cars.
And swear and sing and pal around
With second story stars.
And 60 to court and face the Judge
And then come back again
When-Jakie gets his twenty yeafs
Hes happy In his pen.
No tears are shed within these walls,
No husbands beat their wives,
No blood flows In these stony streets,
mo men fear for their lives
just as it does outside.
And mornings dawn finds all awake,
With breakfast by their side.

Raise,

A committee representing the Patrol

Uniformed Firemen's Association, called
on Police Commissioner Enright and
Fire Commissioner brennan yesterday.
They were assured by each Commits
sioner that he would send a formal note
to the Board of Estimate asking that
salaries be raised Immediately. Such
request. It was said at meeting Of the
Board OF Estimate on Friday. would be
necessary before action would be taken.
Both commissioners, the committee
reported last night. agreed to make
their applications as soon as the Est-
mate Boards referendum reached them
officially. Joseph Haag, secretary Of
the board. said that It would be in the
Commissioners hands tomorrow morn
Ing.
Meanwhile some Of the city depart
ment heads have begun tho survey
which the Board OF Estimate has di-
rected them TO make. The purpose OF
the survey is to find out how much
money can be saved by economy and re-
arrangement OF work and made avail
able for salary increases for city en-
ployees generally, a great manv of

existence.
Craig Calls for suggestions.
The city official most active In this
direction Is Comptroller Craig. He has
distributed this request throughout the
Finance Department:
Each employee in the Finance De-
partment. in whatever capacity and
wherever employed. should submit any
suggestions or recommendations for the
Encouragement or consolidation OF the

Department. Every recommendation
will be carefully considered and dis
posed OF upon its merits. Recommended
lions must be in writing and should be
submitted not later than July TO-"
James E. Dillon. formerly chief in
spector of the Police Department who
retired recently and Is now in the in
surance business at IS William street,
said yesterday
"All ranks and grades OF the Police
Department are underpaid. and the lower
grades of patrolmen are the poorest paid
men in the city government. A careful
investigation will show that the amount
left to furnish food and clothing for
their families does not exceed S1.G0 \
day after all Obligations are met.
There is an average of three depend
ents in the family of each patrolman
who has been or the force less than five
years How men are able to c!othe ana
feed their families in these times on the
pittance they receive is mystery. Sick
ness or misfortune OF any kind visiting
family means plunging 1t into the
hands of the money lenders.
"Can you picture a policeman whose
mother or wife or child requires expert
medical aid which he has not the means
OF obtaining for them put into a position
where temptation IL ever pointing to the
easiest way? God bless them! the
wonder Is that so few Of them do fall.
