CITY WORKERS
TO PETITION
FOR MORE PAY
Council Expect Presentation of De-
mands in Next Few Weeks
Electives Excepted.

Petitions asking salary and wage
increases are expected to be pre-
sented to the Moline city council
within the next few weeks BY al
most every wage worker and SAL
aried official On the municipal pay
roll. Elective officials are except
ed as their salaries can not be In
creased during the term of office
for which they are elected. A few
comparatively high-salaried men
may also be included in the list of
exceptions.
Members of fhe-t1o public safety
departments are expected to make
the strongest pleas for more mon
ey. Policemen and firemen claim
they are being paid less than the
common laborer, and they will pre-
sent urgent requests for increases.
Members of these two departments
now receive $120 q month, plus IS
a month clothing allowance. This,
they claim, is approximately 81 a
day. and add that a common labor
er can earn IS or more by working
the same hours as a policeman or
/ fireman.
Police sergeants receive SIPS a
month. Chiefs Of the police and
fire departments receive $3.50. This
rate was established a year ago
when increases of IS to SIS a
month were granted.
Moline finished the last munich
pal year in fairly good financial
condition, but it was necessary to
anticipate nearly 100000 on tai
warrants. How the city will meet
these demands for more money is
another problem.
