net More than Salary
Start Inquiry.


same happened with the physician
for the same department. His salary
was set at $500 and he actually re-
ceivek $1,000. The committee de-
manded an explanation and asked
what authority any city officials had
to receive more than their salary
Mr.. Riley of the charity board could
not be located but Councilman Elch-
staedt said he would start an investl-
cation Immediately.
Meat INSPECTOR Gets Nothing.
In regard to the health department.
the committee wrangled for some time
The salaries Of the first and second
sanitary inspectors were raised $lO0
each, but this was less than the
amount asked for The committee
was told by Mr.. Eichstaedt that M. II.
Camp, chairman of the health board,
had called him and asked that the
salaries be reconsidered. Mr.. Camp
stated that the men were we'll worth
the salaries paid them and were de-
serving of the increases wanted. The
salary for the first inspector is recon-
mended at $1,000 and the second in
spector is $1,100. The committee de-
cided to leave the salaries with the
present recommendation for in
creases The salary of the meat in
spector. DR.. WHITE, is to be $1,000.
The committee was told that the
salary is considered unjust and that
DR.. Witte may resign as inspector.
One of the members of the committee
remarked that there could be plenty
OF men obtained to take the place at
$1,000 and the committee agreed
that the salary is enough.
Police Department Increases.
In speaking Of the increases for the
police department the committee was
informed that it is the desire that the
salaries of the captain, lieutenant,
and sergeants be raised and make it
even money. There was some opposi-
ton by mem bers of the committee
who felt that the even money should
be granted to the patrolmen who do
the work, wear out the shoes and
clothing etc, instead of giving it to
the men with the desk positions. The
committee however decided to recon-
mend even money as follows: Cap
tain, from proposed new salary OF
$2,05o.5o to $4,000; lieutenant, from
proposed, new salary of $1,S42.50 to
$1,sb0; sergeants, from proposed new
salary of $1.777.5o to $1,000.
grade and will receive an increase of
SO cents per day. Chairman Eich-
staedt remarked that the raises for
the police department will amount to
$9,600.90. . e
The police was the last item dis
cussed. After figuring the changes
made at the meeting Chairman Eich-
staedt told the committee that the in
creases recommended by the commit
tee total $27,655. The entire salaries
of the city officials without the school
+ board amount to $3.50, 476.72. The
committeeman felt that the increase
is large but they also felt it worth
while to retain efficient employees in a
fast growing city. The committee
then appointed the chairman and the
clerk a committee to prepare the re-
port for the common council one
week from tomorrow night. The re-
port for the council will be prepared
, as follows Present salaries, in
creases granted, increases asker for,
salaries recommended.
