COUNCIL SUPPORTS
 PAONESSA ON VETO
Mayor Promises Danbere $500 Salary Increase Within Month

With the understanding that Clerk of Courts Emil J. Danberg will re- ceive a $500 salary raise within q month after the opening Of the fiscal year, the common council at special meeting last night, sustained the mayors veto to such an increase, ef- fectlve April 1.
 The council adopted ordinances regulating q two-platoon in the fire department, and made provision for new contracts with Thomas linder, assessment expert.
 Mayor Paonessa submitted his veto message, which follows after the city clerk had called the roll showing 2S members present:
 ITO the Members of the
 Common Council:
 "Gentlemen;--I am returning with out my approval resolution passed at the regular meeting in February Of the common council as to an increase in the salary of $500 of the clerk Of the city and police courts.
 My reason for yetoing this bill is that this increase in salary is not pro- vided for in the appropriations for the coming year. The vote to in- crease was made on the same evenins that the city budget was approved by the common council and this budget did not take care of this increase. In making the appropriations and fixing the tax rate the needs Of the city were examined very carefully and with most excellent judgment by the board of finance and taxation, so that their recommendations were adopted by the common council and by the city meeting without dissenting vote Should this salary increase be allowed to be made, it will constitute pre- cedent for other departments of our city government to spend money ir excess of their appropriations.
 Tn my investigation to determine my course in this matter, l have be- come convinced that the office oi clerk of courts is underpaid and thai the proposed increase is just and de- serving. For that reason I shall bt glad to look into this matter and 1T the near future expect to be able tc recommend to INc cOuIlCll tHdl lIlt desired increase in salary be made fol the coming year without exceeding the appropriations for salaries.
 Respectfully submitted,
 A M. PAONESSA,
 Mayor.
 Veto Unanimously Sustained.
 Alderman r. L. Conlon moved tha the veto be sustained.
 Councilman D. l.. Nair. who spon sored the resolution, asked if Danbere would get his increase if the veto was sustained.
 Absolutely" was the mayors reply

 Tn reply to questions, Mayor Paon essa said the increase would be ef fective in one month.
 When the mayor says he'll do thing, he'll come across" Alderman Conlon said.

YALE WANTS NEW SONG
si ,OOO Prize Is Offered for Air to Take Place of Bright College Years Ger man Tune.

New Haven. March 16.-A prize of sl,oo0 has been offered anonymously for representative Yale song, 1t was announced last night by the Yale Alumni Advisory Board.
 This announcement apparently ends the controversy which has been waged over Yales Bright College Years" which has been its chief song for many generations but which, since the war, has been discarded be- cause 1t was shng to the tune of Die Yacht am Rhine" A poll at the Yale club in New York recently showed many Yale men to be in fa- vor of abandoning it.
 While no mention of the contro- versy over Bright College Years' is made in the announcement it is sug. gested that the tune should, so far as possible "be such as not to invite ob- jections from graduates or undergrad' i uates."
 The possibility that the words oi Yale's old song may be retained is indicated by the declaration that the award may be made flor new mu' sical setting for song already avail able"
