.F|AANCIERS MAY
RAISE SALARIES

The finance committee OF city eoun-
Gil Will meet tonight in adjourned
session for the purpose of framing
report to council on the question of
salary raises for city employees.
This question has become a most
serious one. Many city employees are
leaving their places TO accept better
paying positions. and every depart
ment OF the city government Is being
nampered because of the shortage of
men. The high cost of living has
compelled many efficient employees to
leave while others who prefer TO re-
main with the city. are being strongly
tempted TO retire.
II MAS said yesterday that a gradu-
sted increase would be recommended
by the committee, beginning with a
fifteen per cent raise for employees
receiving less than $1,000 and going
up To the point Of five per cent for
those who receive the highest pay.
In increasing the salaries in this
manner the-.assf4 4ait+ee devis;nE
means for raising the money /, is
believed the rates of taxation will be
increased and that perhaps the price
of gas and water may lie increased as
a war measure.
The committee hopes to he able to
present the common council a reason
