mo PAY REDUCTIONS
FOR THE F|REMEN
Understood Their Salary of ST.
400 Per Year Will Not be
MoIested.

Members of the fire department, cs.
pecially the rank and file. are much
concerned as n result OF the move
ment In City Council for a retrcnch-
ment and tho plan to bring about, II
possible. a, reduction of the personnel
In all city departments and tho salaries
paid. They have been especially wor-
ried by the understanding that the
fire department was going to be hit
hardest I'm this movement.
For the information and comfort OF
tho rank and flo OF the fire depart
ment 1T may be stated authorItatlvely
that there will be no reduction In their
pay. They now receive 81 400 per year
and this Is far below the salary given
flremen In almost every other city in
the country of equal eize IA Whining
ton. This figure, Il is understood will
not be changed and in fact tho firemcr
are not going to be disturbed.
Any reduction TO he made, II was
stated. will be among officials OF tn,
department and even their salaries
are below what is paid elsewhere foi
similar positions. IL was said todaS
1t was not 80 much a question of tn,
amount paid but the number OF Off

men being of the opinion that the per

and Lester Ross, assistant cashier,
charged with irregularities in banking,

expected the cases against the former
bankers will be ready for trial.
c. F.. Waterman, former president
of the First National bank, Charleston;
George H. Waterman, vice president,
Walter Waterman, cashier, and A. f..
Bauch, assistant cashier of the defunct

ALL YEAR ON
WATER GRADE
Delegation from Mining Camp
Will Be Here to Confer with
Commercial Club Members
Effort to Be Made to In
duce Government to Appro-
pirate Funds for Project

United effort to induce the federal
government to complete the highway
up the South Fork of the Clearwater
river from the terminal of the present
road, near Castle Creek, to Elk City
will be put forth by Grangeville and
Elk City people.
A delegation from Elk City com
prising William Boyd, r. McGregor
and William Hogan will be in
Grangeville late this week, it was
announced at the Commercial club
luncheon "Wednesday by Senator N.
B. Pettibone, to confer with the club
members regarding efforts to be made
to bring about further federal APP
preparations to continue construction
of the road.
While 1929 designations of forest
road money have been made, il is
believed, If proper effort is put forth,
the government can be induced to
complete the Elk City road under 1923
appropriations.
The highway, when finished, would
provide an all-year road from Grange
Vile to Elk City on virtually a water
grade, and would eliminate climbing
two mountain ranges, over which the
present road, for a large part of
the year deep with snow at many
places, passes.
