THREE PROPOSALS FOR PAY BOOSTS
 STUDIED BY CITY
License Fee Increase, Gas Tax and Budget Trim
 Being Considered

In desperate effort to raise funds with which to grand salary increases to policemen and firemen the city com mission Monday began consideration of three new plans. They are: 1. A flat increase of 10 per cent in all business license fees.
 An increase in the licenses of all dealers in gasoline and oil to an amount that would require the dealers to charge cent gallon over the regular price.
 STA general curtailment of appropria. tions in all departments of the city. so as to leave in the general fund sum sufficient to provide the salary in- creases, which would amount to approxi- mately $90.000 year.
 Commission members made it clear that definite action had not been taken on either of these proposals. A de cision will be reached at conference Tuesday afternoon, President D. E. MeI.endon said. Meanwhile, the mem bers expect opposition to develop to all three plans.
 Supports Gas Tax Of the three plans. Commissioner William l.. Harrison is supporting the gasoline and oil license increase. He asserts the business license scale already Is one of the highest in the country, and declares downward revision of the budgets for the various departments would prove deterimental to their proper functioning.
 Other commissioners said their minds were not made up, but that they would be ready shortly to vote for one, of the three proposals. All the members iare agreed that the policemen and firemen must have their salary hikes. City Attorney W. J. Wynn said Mon day afternoon that a preliminary inves- tigation led him to believe that the gaso- line tax would be legal. The city of Montgomery now is levying a 1-cent tax on gasoline, in addition to the state tax of 2 cent per gallon. An injunction to prevent the city from collecting the tax was defeated and the cRse now Is pend- ing in circuit court, with indications that it ultimately will reach the supreme court. Montgomery motorists now are paying the municipal tax and receiving slips that will entitle them to refund if the levy is declared illegal.
 Would Tax Dealers !.
 If the Birmingham authorities tax gasoline md oil, however, they will do 1t in slightly different manner from the capital city, although the affect will be the same. The local plan is to increase licenses of gasoline and oil dealers to. an amount that would equal 1 cent n gallon, thus forcing the dealers to pass the burden on the consumers. The commission will stipulate, if the tax is levied, that it will be used solely on road Improvements in the city limits.
 However, by jockeying about with the budget, figures, an amount equal to the estimated receipts from the gasoline tax

Invitations to a spnference at which the suggestions of Erskine Ramsay relative to civic center facing Wood row Wilson park will be studied, were issued Monday by the Ensley Kiwanis club to members of all boards having official connection with deciding the problem. The meeting will be held Fri day at o'clock at the city hall
 Ensley Kiwanians issued the invita- ton with the object in view of attempt ing by full discussion to reconcile the diyerging opinions. It is believed that the ma jority of individual members of the boards favor the. Ramsay plan. There are some members of the board,

would be made available for police and fire salary increases.
 A delegation of firemen, supported by several leading citizens, appeared be. fore the commission Monday morning, and formally presented their petition for wage increase. The police plea for more money was presented several days ago.
 The information that q gasoline tax was under consideration was disclosed to the delegation by Commissioner liar rison, who came out squarely for in- creases for firemen and policemen.
 Tt will take something like 800, 900 to grant the pay increases the p0licemen and firemen are asking for" Harrison said. Il favor these increases without reservation and am ready to vote any reasonable proposal to raise the needed revenue. This money must be fodnd somewhere, and will be found. There has been some propaganda going the rounds to the effect that am standing in the way of these increases. Sucf statements are untrue"
 Mfr. Harrison briefly reviewed his record, which Showed he had fought fOI the eight-hour shifts for policemen and the tYelve-hour shifts for firemen that he opposed any reductions in theiI salaries during the early days of the present administration that he led tbs fight for the establishment of . civil service board to better conditions in tht police and fire departments, and thai he had advocated, and now advocates, q minimum salary of $l50 per month fol the men of both departments.
 With all commission members actiyel. engaged in seeking revenue for theii salary increases, the policemen and fire men now are reasonably sure that they will win their fights.
