POLICE RISE URGED
IN CITY Job SURVEY
Experts Report Recommends
$4.27 Day Minimum and
$3.50 Maximum
FIGURES GOING TO COUNCIL

Recommendation for an increase in
the pay Of patrolmen to minimum pay
Of approximately $4.27 a day and a
maximum Of $3.50 day have been
made to the Civil Service Commission by
Griffenhagen & Associates, who were
engaged by the city to classify munich
pal position and standing compensation.
Months ago the EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER urged that patrolmen be paid
So day.
At present patrolmen receive $3.50 a
day for the first year of service and
after the first year $4.35 day.
Increase for PatroImen
r.Ie;tS patromen ybe at the PsSa PTsssSsantt :, are
year. would. under the new schedules,
receive $3.50 to 5000. depending. upon
their length Of service and efficiency.
The minimum rate of pay would pe
1880, the intermediate rates Sl6SO,
$500 and $500, while the maximum
rate for patrolmen would be S2O4O:
After the system has been established
a patrolman will be advanced from one
rate to the next higher after a years
service, so that aft five years pa
trolman will receive the maximum sal.
dry- -tnuI S, the new pdIoihioi' W..
start at S1560, 60 to $3.50 after six
months, $500 after eighteen months.
1920 after thirty months. and reach
5000 at the end Of his forty second
month of service.
No one in the Police Bureau will
have his salary reduced Under the new
schedule.
When the new schedule is applied to
the patrolmen of the bureau Of police,
it will probably be found that a consid-
erable number Of them will be entitled
to be advanced at once from $1647.75,
their present rate of pay, to the new
rate of $500 representing an 'ad-
justment" Of S32.25, and a 'service
| increase" of $120, or total increase
of $152. .25). Under the new schedule
, these men will receive in 1921 the new
intermediate rate of $500. which is a
trifle less than So per day, provided the
man works 365 days a year.
| If the new schedule is adopted, these
men will be advanced i'm 1922 to the
next rate, which is $500, and in 1923
to the maximum rate Of 5000.
This same system Is recommended for
the other employees in the police bureau.
! For example, the house sergeant, who
now receives, including bonus, the sum
of S17S5, will be advanced to the new
! mininsim salary for house sergeants
which is $2100, and after an additional
year will be entitled to the next higher
rate for house sergeants which is S222O
and after another year to S2340 and
ultimately to S2460, which Is the maxi
mum rate Of pay proposed for house
serfgeants.

WOULD REVISE
ELECTION LAWS
AssembIyman Fred W. De Voc
is Alone in His Opposition to
Bill Passed Yesterday All

TRENTON, March 24-~With only
one vote cast in the negative, the
House of Assembly yesterday after
noon passed the bill introduced for
the State Chamber of Commerce by
Assemblyman Pierson, of Union, to
revise the election laws of the state.
Assemblyman De Voc, Democrat of
Middlesex. cast the only negative on
the measure, which Is understood to
restore the old party column system
of arranging the election ballots.
The vote of forty-seven to one in
favor of the bill indicated that both
parties had combined to pass the
measure in the assembly, although 1t
has been vigorously attacked in the
Independent press of the state and a
measure of doubtful merit. 1t con-
tains so many pages that it is prob
able few of the members of the
House who voted to pass the measure
were familiar with its provisions, con-
sequently they accepted the explana-
tion offered by Mr.. Pierson, who said
that 1t provides for n general revision
of the statutes pertaining to election
matters
Tho House in Joint session yester-
day elected Senator White, of Bur
lington. state director of railroads, an
honorary position. Senator Stevens,
of Monmouth, offered the name of
former Assemblyman T. Lloyd Lewis,
of Monmouth, who received nineteen
votes and Borton forty-nine. The
Democrats offered and then withdrew
the name of Robert d. Foote. of Nor
ristow who has already held this
| honor position. The split among the
Republicans for the place was the
| feature OF the election.
BY the vote of twenty-four to eigh-
| teen tho House killed another I'm
ion county bill when It defeated the
! Pierson measure to give the State
Board of Taxes and Assessment power
| to make arbitrary assessments.
The House also killed the Rogers
| bill to require a license for each
tenement house. Messrs. freund and
Judge of Essex, and Young. of Nor
ris. opposed the measure as unneces-
sary and too restrictive. The vote
WAS thirtY-aix to fifteen againat.
