Budget Bureau Notified He
Approves Bill for D. c. PO-
lice and Firemen.

The budget bureau today notified
the District Commissioners that the
President has approved proposed
bill to provide for increased pay for
police and firemen in Washington.
Director Lord of the bureau of the
budget told the Commissioners he
presented the bill to the President
and was instructed to advise the Com
sioners that II is not in conflict with
his financial program.
The bill, which viii now go to Con-
gress. provides for salaries of $1,000,
81 900 and $4,000 for the three classes
of privates in both departments
Pay of Chiefs Raised.
The superintendent of police and
the chief of the fire department would
receive $500 under the bill. The po-
lice head now receives $4,000 and the
fire chief $4,000.

Jnent got the following ratings: AS
distant superintendents. $4,000 each :;
inspectors, s3.250 each: captains, So,
500 each; lieutenants, $4,000, and SER
geants $1,000.
In the fire department the officers
subordinate to the chief will be paid
as follows: deputy chiefs. $3.50: ba-
tallion chiefs, s2.s0o each; fire mar
shall. $4,000; deputy fire marshal.
s2.4oo: captains. s2,5o0: lieutenants.
s2.250; sergeants, s2.1oo; inspectors.
$4,000: superintendent of machinery,
$4,000; assistant superintendent,
$1,000
The reason the Commissioners are
sending a separate salary bill to Con-
Eress for the police and fire depart
rnents, is that these men will lose the
bonus on July l, 1924, without getting
an increase under the reclassification
act.
In view of the present difficulty IN
keeping men in these services. the
Commissioners felt 1t would be a
serious mistake to allow the salaries
10 go down next summer.
