superintendent OF the city board Of
health. Tuesday with The. request that
the petition be forwarded Immediately
to the mayor and city commissioners

Tho undersigned members OF the

do hereby most respectfully petition,
urge and request that you grant them
an increase In their salaries
The salaries Of the undersigned are
now fixed at 800 each per month on
which basis the members Of the police
force working in this department have
been paid for the past several months
We respectfully represent that we are
each and all heads Of families, and that
with the present high cost OF living,
It IL nigh impossible to support our
families on 500 per month. The burden
is heavier on some OF the undersigned
than others, because some families are
larger than others, but 800 month
under tho existing living conditions IL
inadequate. AZ you know, the faithful
performance OF our duties requires all
OF our working time. so that we have
no opportunity to earn anything in ad-
dillon to our salaries
We are. as you know. a part of the
police department and respectfully rep
resent that we should be paid not less
than $3.50 month, the same amount
that is paid to patrolmen; and unless
living conditions are improved the last
named sum will be inadequate, But, as
temporary relief, We most respectfully
urge and request you fix our salaries
now at $50.
Respectfully submitted.
