MAY ASK $10D MORE
FOR D. c. SERVICES
Firemen and Police to Lose
Bonus-Increased Pay
Under Consideration.

A recommendation that the pay OF
privates in the police and fire depart
ments be increased 500 q year IL un-
derstood to have been made to Com
missioner Oyster by the committee
appointed to inquire into the matter.
The present pay of privatss. includ-
ing the $240 bonus. 10 31.700. t1,so0
and $1,000 a year, according to length
of service. The committee, 1t IL re-
ported. has proposed that they bs
given $1,000. $1,000 and $4,000.
The lowest rating is for privatss
during the first year Of service, the
next rate Is for the second year and
the maximum figure II for men In the
service three or more years.
Raises for OMcers.
The report also recommends in
creases for the officers and heads Of
the two departments, but the amounts
have not been disclosed.
Although Gen. Lord could not per-
init increased salaries for policemen
and hremen to remain in the regular
estimates, because such provision
would be classed as new legislation.
the Commissioners will send to Con-
gress separate bill on the subject.
These uniformed forces are not pro-
vided for in the reclassification law.
For that reason they would suffer a
reduction Of s240 year next July II
Congress abolishes the bonus and
substitutes reclassification salaries
for other government employees.
Without the bonus the pay OF pri-
Yates would be only $1.460. $3.50 and
Sl.660. The committee has recon-
mended that these basic rates be in
creased, not merely to make up for
the bonus, but to exceed the bonus by
500.
For several years both departments.
particularly the police, have found 1t
difficult to get good men who are
willing to remain in service at pres
ent salaries.
