A recess was then taken to after
noon
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The principal business of the
afternoon session was the fixing Of
salaries, the largest part of the after
noon being occupied in a general
discussion of city affairs, valuable
especially to the new members of
the board in giving them a grasp on
the situation.
The principal change in salaries
was in giving the street commits
sioner fiat salary of 1900 a year
and the use of light truck during
the time it would be advantageous.
Last year the street commissioner
was allowed $3.50 a day, and fur
nished his own conveyance. Under
the new plan the expense to the
city will be slightly increased, but
it is believed by the board that il
Will result in ultimate saving to the
city through greater efficiency and
results achieved. Only one other
change from last year was made in
the salaries, that being a reduction
from $500 to 5000 in the salary of
city treasurer. This was done in
view of the combining of the Of
hceS in one man.
