It is not on a gold standard basis. and banks ac- cordingly will not accept the metal on deposit. Gold can, therefore, be utilized only in the arts. But for what industrial purpose the Chinese

Increase for Chief Inspector
Would React to Benefit
of Commissioners if He
Should Decide to Retire
Citizens Back Patrolmen
Committee Appointed at
Bay Ridge Meeting to
Help Get Pay Raise Asked

Police Commissioner Engirght has
recommended to the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment that the salaries of
the patro linen under his command be
increased $3.50.
The patrolmen have petitioned the
Commissioner and the Board of Esti-
mate for an increase of from $3.50 to
x4OO. The Commits soner does not
recommend that this petition be
gra ted.
For the Chief Inspector of Police,
Commissioner Enright has recon-
,..ended salary of $4,000 year The
present salary of Chief 1nspe ctor is
$4,000. The increase, therefore. which
Commissioner Enright recommends for
his Chief Inspector is $4,000, or sc per
cent.
Other substantial increases are
asked for ranking officers of the Police
Department, but the increase requested
for the Chief Inspector is the largest.
The one most nearly approximating
it's amount IS that required for the
salary of the Commissioners secretary,
for whom an increase of $1,000 year
is recommended.
Might Help Commissioner
By virtue of an amendment to the
regulations governing the retirement
salaries of officials of the Police De-
partment, passed during the present
year, the pension of a retired Police
Commissioner is fixed at half the salary
of Chief Inspector Under the est-
ing salary rating for Chief Inspector
that would make Commissioner En-
rights pension, should he retire on
completion of his service with the
Police Department, $4,000 year. If

An Error In List
The organizers of the Thursday meet

list Of the organizations which attndeu
the meeting. The list included the
names of the Patrolmen's Benevolent
Association and the Uniformed Fire

have a membership Of 95 per cent in
each department.
