NEW MEN REDUCE
+ POLICE VACANCIES
Eligible List Increased by Fl;
Need for $50 More
I'd
Expressed.
WANT PAY TO KEEP MEN

Names of twenty-one applicants
for positions on the police force were
added to Mai. Pullman's list of eliGi-
bleS this week, reducing the number
of vacancies to approximately fifty, as
the force stood at the end of the
past fiscal year. Congress provided Il
further increase in the appropriation
bill for the current year again in
creasing the number of vacancies.
Mai. Pullman hopes for a further
increase next year. and Commissioner
Brownlow. who has supervision of the
police department, thinks the de-
partment could be put in splendid
shape with an additional $50 men.
What We want to do remarked
Mai. Pullman to a Star reporter. lis
70 get men who will enable us to
maintain the present high standard
Of members of the force.
MANY of the men we are now
getting" he added. ARE from the
Army. Navy and Marine Corps and
are of the best type of manhood. We
are giving preference to men who
wero in the service during the war
Not only does the superintendent
of police want to fill the quota of
the force. he said, but he wants to
get money enough to- induce the men
to remain on the force. 1t is said
that Mai. Pullman bears the distinc-
ton of being the first member of the
International Association of Police
Chiefs to make move for higher
salaries for policemen.

Wants More Pay for Men.

Appointees to positions on the local
police force start with a salary of
$3.50 a year. or $40 a month. the
salary provided in the appropriation
bill for the current year. and it is the
intention of Commissioner Brownlow
and Maj. Pullman to endeavor to get
further increases.
In a bulletin issued by Maj. Pull
man yesterday the increases of mem
beers of the force were given as fol-
lows:
Class 1. from 81. 200 to s1.320 a year;
class 2. from $500 to s1.440; class 3.
from LAO to $1,560: sergeants. from
$3.50 to $1,640: precinct detectives,
from $3.50 to $3.50: detective ser
geants, from $1,929 tot SE.040;- lieu
tenants, from $1,720 to s1,s4G. and
captains and inspectors. from s2.120
t4 $2.24o.
1t is believed by police officials that
the increased salaries will result in
attracting a larger number of men of
the best type for the positions. Maj.
Pullman says he will not be satisfied
until he has procured salaries suffi-
GENTLY large to enable men to get
married and settle in comfortable
homes
Married men who become settled"
he remarked, make the best police
men"

May Soon Have Waiting List.

Candidates for positions on the
force are appearing in such large
numbers, Mai. Pullman stated, that
he thinks the department soon will
have waiting list. Proper remu-
neration. he said. will bring men who
are worth while and keep them after
they are obtained. the retirement pro-
vision of the law being an incentive
for them to remain.
Early in the spring Maj. Pullman
addressed letters to the members OF
the International Association of Po-
lice Chiefs. calling attention to the
question of increasing the salaries of
policemen, and saying:
Il am one of those who believe that
high standards Of police service can
best be maintained by giving men,
bers OF the forces of the cities of the
country adequate salaries to meet the
higher cost of living. Low salaries
in any city, really work against the
interests OF every other city in get
ting better compensation for our
men. 1t is believed. therefore. that
Chiefs should work toward a higher
salary standard in all cities. particu-
Iariy for the new men starting on the
force"
Since that time increases have been
made in several Of the larger and
smaller cities of the country, Detroit
increasing the pay of the policemen
to $1,000 and Chicago to s1SOO Mai
Pullman thinks police captains should
receive at least $4,000 year, con-
tending that a man who is capable OF
managing a precinct is worth at least
that much money

other eight hundred ts00) orders and
reports and other documents TO be re-
corded in the office of the clerk oil
this court.
The undersigned would therefore
report to the Board that the two ai-
ditional clerks employed by the clerk
of this court under the orders and
directions of the court and pursuant
to the motion or resolution of the
Board of Supervisors, will necessarily
be continued at least until September
meeting of the board and in the opin-
ion of the undersigned, if the work
in the clerks Office is to be up TO
date bv that time. it will be necessary
to have further additional help or
clerks in such Office to record docu-
ments.
The new estates commenced in the
past three months have increased IN
number to an average of hfty-seVeh
! f57) per month and in the opinion OF
the undersigned, il will be necessary
70 continue such additional help per
manently or at least until the pres
ent increase in business shall stop.
The earnings of the office of the
clerk of the Probate Court, owing to
the volume of business which is now
being transacted, have increased from
1854 for December to s1,19f for Jan
uary and S1,110 for February, and in
the opinion of the undersigned, will
maintain this standard for some
months to come.
| therefore respectfully submit that
a continuation of the rule adopted by
this Board on Dec. 14th, 1918, bul
without limitation as to the number
of clerks or assistants, will probably
make the best working system fol
keeping the NECESSARY help at hts
