in Warm Tilt.

veto of Comptroller Cralg's 20 per cent,
plan OF increasing the pay OF city en-
ployces. placed yesterday his own sug-
gestlons for proper basis Of dlsburse-
ment OF the $4,000 pay boost before

The purpose OF Mayor Hylan's fight
for reconsideration of the 90 per cent.
basis, which he at first approved, is to
prevent large increases going to city
employees already receiving high sala-
ries and to distribute larger increases to
the low paid employees, For that pur-
pose the Mayor introduced the following
proposal as n basis of disbursement:
For employees receiving $1,000 year
or less an Increase Of 22 per cent
Employees receiving 81 500 to $4,000, a
20 per cent. increase.
Employees receiving more than S2,500
n flat increase OF $500 or such fraction
OF that amount as will bring no increased
salary beyond $500.
Employees receiving maintenance, n
500 minimum Increase.

time librarians, increases on the fore
going percentage basis.

port OF the organization OF 750, 900 to the

smash that line, but to make forever
certain that any nation that advocated
Hypocrisy and suppression, whatever It's

UPHOLbS JAIL TERM
FOR RECKLESS DRIVER
Court Would Bar Incompe-
tents and InebriGtes.

"The speed maniac, the inebrlate and
the incompetent have no rights upon
the highways" Judge May, In the
County Court, Brooklyn, said yesterday.
He affirmed the conviction OF Harold
Hon OF Is Powell street, Brooklyn, who.
on July II, was sentenced by Magistrate
Fish in the Traffic Court to thirty days
imprisonment for reckless driving OF an
automobile.
Hon. on June IA, was driving In Marcy
avenue. Harry Swiryn Of 692 De Kalb
avenue, was speeding through Will
loughby avenue. At the intersection OF
the thoroughfares, collision seemed
certain. Hon's machine veered, bounded
over the sidewalk, struck BABY car
riage and caused injuries which resulted
In the death OF an infant. Swlryp also
was sentenced to thirty days lmprison-
ment.
In denying Hoffs appeal Judge May
pointed out What both machines were
travelling at q high rate OF speed. 1t
was reasonably certain, he added, that
Hoff's management OF his car was
largely responsible for the childs death.

Manhattan. we're defeated. The vote
was IL TO Q. Craig casting his three
votes In opposition and curran refusing
10 vote.
Craig, who carried on q persistent
fight for delay at the morning session.
renewed his battle when the Board met
in the afternoon. II was there that he
was able to win his delay by obtaining
public hearing upon the Mayors
schedules next Monday morning, The
decision was reached only after acri-
monlous exchanges. during which the
Comptroller at one time undertook to
preempt the Mayors control and called
the roll upon his own motion It is the
time honored custom OF members Of the
board at roll call not TO answer to their
names unless they desire to vote In the
negative, so WHEN no one answered the
Comptrolers irregular roll call he In
sisted that his motion be recorded as
passed. II IL understood TO be on REQ
ord as having been passed, but was ig-
norcd by the Mayor.
La Gunrdia declared that Craigs de-
mnnd for public hearing was for delay
which would give the Comptroller an ex-
cuse for no. having the pay checks
ready on time
THE Comptroller says he will pay the
20 per cent. increases over the Mayors
veto" La Guardia added, "but We, who
know the Comptroller, know he will do
nothing OF the sort"
craip ohiertad IN Ia Guardla's re-
marks and protested that the Mayor
ought to shut him up, but received no
relief Before adjournment, the board
agreed to grant the same Increases to
the teachers OF the College OF the City
of New York as are granted the other
city employees.
