WANT TO PAY
BETTER SALARY
WATER COMMISSION SAYS
SALARY OF $4,000
NECESSARY

The water commission of the city
OF Wausau has not yet appointed a
superintendent of water works to sue
ceed the late Otto Hochtritt, but has
already taken step toward the en-
gagement of an engineer to fill the
position by asking the city council
to grant it permission to pay SAL
airy to superintendent of not to ex-
ceed $4,000. The council, receiving
the request at its meeting Tuesday
night, failed to take action but in
stead referred the matter to the f.
nance committee.
Want Capable Man
I'VE want to find man who is
well qualified to occupy the position" ;"
said one of the water commission
members, 'but it is absolutely impos-
sible to obtain an engineer at 81 900
a year. They simply are not to be
had. BY an engineer / do not mean
man who knows how to run an en-
gine, but one who has had mechanical
training and who can run the water
plant itself as well as the office. The
water plant is badly in need of at
tention.
w WANT " iClilCf1UtI, tOO, tIdt
the water works can be made to pay if
1T is managed rightly" he continued
but IL inefficient men are EMPLOYED
and the superintendent himself is no
engineer, we shall have to continue to
regard the water plant as detriment
rather than success. We want a
man also who is willing to try to
solve some of the difficulties that are
being encountered every day, not one
who is willing to let we'll enough
alone. The water the patrons of the
water system are receiving might be
improved if competent engineer
were engaged"
Expresses
To express it's position to the coun-
Gil the water commission submitted
the following communication on Tues
day:
You will appreciate that the water
department of our city has grown to
considerable size and involves not on
ly the handling of considerable value
OF property, but also great RESPONSE
bility to a large popuiation.
The commission is now about to
hire superintendent and in selecting
a man for this position it is their de-
sire to procure a man of considerable
knowledge and experience in this par-
ticular line, and they consider that to
procure man of this capacity, it will
require the payment of a salary In
keeping with such a position.
THE commission would like your
authority to pay salary of not to
exceed $3,000.00 year for this posi-
tiOn."g
