A SALARY DANGER

Were a lot of cheap skates, W.
members of the council and I'm
cheap, too-but not as cheap as somt
of Them" was the comment of ont
member of that body recently. There
is no intention of Identifying the
member either here or privately. The
sentence is quoted to show one mem
bers opinion of some actions of the
council.
The themes of discussion were the
suggestion that the Chief of Police be
made to pay out of his own pocket
chiefs. and the matter of the police
investigation. Someone in the party
the council did not care to have its
chief member of the association of
chiefs. It might well be chief would
feel he could not afford to pay the
necessary $40.

fetal of the city is to leave his official
position here because of a considera-
BILE advance in salary offered him else
where to do work with which he is
familiar. Not SO long ago the city lost
an efficient health officer for the same
! reason. a.. ...
1t is not intimated that neither Of
ficer can be replaced, nor is it suggest
ed here that all salaries ought to be
raised in New Britain. The general but
unconsidered idea is that salaries are
quite high enough that city Jobs"
are soft ones, and that the incumbents
are lucky to have them. At present
we have a new health superintendent
who may do his work as well as his
predecessor. Quite possibly we will
find man to fill the other departing
officials shoes.
The point to be emphasized is that
there is this constant danger If a
broad view is not taken of the matter
of salaries. Constant watch should be
kept of salaries in other communities
where the income and the expenses
are approximately the same as those
of this city. We can not expect to
have an official here capable of hand
ling the affairs of corporation five
times as large as this city. Such per-
son is not needed and such person
could not be retained. 1t would be ex-
travagance for us to hope for such
thing as 1t would be waste to use
a $4,000 pleasure automobile to carry
coal. But at least we should pay sal
aries proper for the quality and guam
tity of work the city needs, and for
this reason other cities should be
watched. The whole matter of salaries
is a complex one, and it is for this
reason that a continuing knowledge of
charges should be obtained. Without
disparaging in any way the work of
our salary committees in the past, it
has been difficult for them to keep up
to date on all these matters, owing
to constant changes of administration.
A continuing commission, it's men,
bers overlapping in periods of service,
would hold all the information gained
from Tina to time in the possession of
the commission.

PHONE IS ALWAYS
 "BUSY" IN CHICAGO
Fiqures Seem to Indicate That "Romeos" Spend Much Time
 Calling "Sweeties"

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Either figures lie after all, or else there are more per capita sweeties to male Chicago than most other big crossings.
 A dazzling cavalcade of numerals just paraded bfeore the Illinois Con- merce Commission by William H. Crum, Telephone Engineer of the city of Chicago, seems to indicate that the line is nearly always busy
 Maybe it's nearly all business con versation, Maybe it's just polite per siflage. Or airy banter. Or weighty argument. But the figures hint that it's more than likely a couple of thousand sweet girls being called up and cooed at necessarily by swaggering Romeos who keep four or five on the string all the time.
 Anyway, Crum said Chicagoans used the instrument more than New Workers. On the other hand, San Francisco, Atlantic City and Wash ington use it more often in pro- portion to population.
 Chicago has 20 telephones to every 100 persons.

MABLE MINE TO BE DEVELOPED
 BY CUCGIES
Anchorage Times)

The work of exploration and de- velopment of the Mable mine under direction of w. E. Dunkle, M. E., representing the Guggenheim inter- ests, will begin as soon as MT. Dunkle secures a location for his family, consisting of Mrs. Dunkle and two children. MT Dunkle will then go to Willow Creek and personally take charge of the work contempated for the coming season. In an inter- view with The Times MT. Dunkle said as yet no elaborate plans had been evolved and that exploration would continue in the present work ings of the mine. Asked as to the plans in connection with the Copper mountain lead-silver-copper property recently bonded by the Kennecott Copper corporation from Price and Aitken MT. Dunkle stated that the first steps would be the taking in of supplies at an early date and then awaiting the passing of the snow before exploration was con- menced.
 Tn reply to a request for an expres- sion on questions of reduction and treatment of Willow Creek ores MT. Dunkle said it was merely matter of plate amalgamation and cyanida- ton. With many of the properties making as high as 90 per cent ex- traction the question of reduction is a simple one.
 Mr. Dunkle, with characteristic ret icence, declined to go into questions of future facilities for reducing base ores of the Interior further than to say that with ability to supply 75 per cent concentrate it would be pos sible to ship the metal in this state to outside smelters.
 MT. Dunkle hopes to establish a home in Anchorage within few days where his family will reside in definitely, or during his business in connection with the developments lis company have under way in Willow Creek and the Kantishna.

BUREAU TO CURB WASTE OF FISH;
 N0TICEIS ISSUED
Commissioner Says Reg ulations Be Issued in
 March, 1924

That the regulations for the control of the waste in herring packing will probably be put into effect in the spring of 1924, is the statement made by U. s. Commissioner of Fisheries Henry O'Malley, in letter to the 1 publisher of the Pacific Fisherman, a CODY of which has just been re- ceived by Gov. Scott c. Bone. Plants which are already in the field will be required at that time to utilize all the herring taken or be forced to close down.
 Notice is given at this time of the intentions of the Bureau of Fisheries in order that the herring packers may make necessary preparations to 1n- stall individual reduction plants in connection witheir salteries or what ever other means they may decide upon to utilize fish that are now being wasted.
 MT. O'Malley's letter to the Pacific
 
 q shall recommend to the Secretary of Commerce the promulgation of reg ulations which will require all plants that have been established for a period of two seasons prior to so con- duct their operations as to avoid the undue or unnecessary destruction of herring from whatever cause and to utilize all necessary and unprevent- able waste fish and parts thereof in the production of useful by-products and to refrain from the pollution of waters by deposits of dead fish and offal It is the present intention to afford plants which may be estab- lished in new fields two years of grace before applying the regulations in order that full opportunity may be given for prospecting new sources of supply"
 The regulation will be issued, if the Commissioners recommendations are acted on favorably by the Secretary of Commerce, to be effective March l, 1924.
 The waste of fish in the herring packing industry is described by off cials and others as having been enor- nous, and in certain districts to have been so great as to cause outsiders to register protests. The Territorial Fish Commission, in resolution adopted at it's meeting last December, called this matter to the attention of Com missioner O'Malley with the request ! that he take some action to remedy the situation. Shortly after that, the Bureau of Fisheries ordered a public hearing held in Seattle. The notice quoted above is the result of the data secured by the bureau at this hear l ing. ',~-r,,
