!. ers at General Election Held

santyille Press, an ordinance was in
troduced on Monday night at the meet
ing of City Council to provide for the
payment of an annual salary of $500
TO each member of Council. The or

man Stephenson, who explained that
members of Council had 10 devote
considerable time to the conduct of
public business and for such service
they were entitled to compensation.
Following the reading of the ordi-
nance, an objection was made by
Councilman Blackman, who stated
that in his judgment the salary was
not sufficient but should be made
$500. He said. Councilmen should be
paid as much as the Mayor. II was
explained to him that this was only
to test out the matter and that should
the ordinance pass and the tiers ap-
prove of it, as they are required TO do,
before 1t becomes effective, then the
amount of salary could be made suf-
ficient to properly compensate coun-
cilmen.
The ordinance finally passed on
first reading and was Immediately adj
vanced to second reading and passed
under a suspension of the rules of
council. Councilman James voted no
on both first and second readings.
The matter will be placed on the
official ballot for voters to . 'nsider
at the General Election in November.
If it is carried by the voters then the
salary will be paid quarterly.
